Catching trophysized speckled trout on topwater lures is no less exhilarating than hitting a grand slam in the bottom of the ninth to win game seven of the World Series. There's just something about hearing the staccato rhythm of a clacking plug being interrupted by a cupped slap and frothy explosion that turns the knees to jelly.

Every regular speckled trout angler has his favorite topwater lures for targeting the fish, but there are others out there that he's maybe never gotten a chance to try. To put some of the most popular to the test, Marsh Man Masson worked them in a swimming pool alongside an underwater camera to see how they look and learn how they sound to the fish.

Marsh Man scored each lure on workability, underwater sound and price to determine which baits have the most value. He also examined how much each bait rolled to show the color of its back to interested fish. It was an eyeopening experiment.

Lures tested included the Egret Baits Ghost Walker, Bomber BadonkADonk, Matrix Mullet, MirrOlure She Dog, Rapala Skitter Walk, Heddon Chug'n Spook Jr., H2O Express TWS, RatLTrap Stutter Step, MirrOlure Top Dog, Heddon Super Spook and MirrOlure CEyes.
