It would have to be a Zora Spook, perfect for agressive bass. Caught a 21 incher on one last year. Buzz baits work good too.

Bigbass you fish the spook by "walking the dog". Keep your rod low and retrieve by working the rod tip and reeling in a jerky cadence. I like to use a bait casting reel with a 6' or 6' 6" MH rod and 10-17 pound test. When you cast any top water bait let it sit for a few seconds especially if it is calm. Then twitch it and wait for a couple of more seconds. Then start your retreive. When it works there isn't a more exciting way to fish.

I mostly fish the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers, i've had really good luck with small white buzzbaits (w/trailor hoook) and jitterbugs

I like the spook but I have great luck with a 5 inch black and silver Rappala (sp) Work it like a wounded minnow on top and BAM! Weedless I would have to go with a white mouse.......
