Top Water Reviews

[rps]

My heavily customized Top Dollars have dwindled to three. I am reluctant to use them.

Over the last month I have tried three new to me baits. I found two to be good baits and one a dud.

I tried two baits by Sixth Sense. Their Splash Back is an excellent walking popper. Lots of noise and splash and decent hardware. On the other hand, their dogma failed to impress me.  looks like a BPS Slim Dog with a better paint job. I found it difficulty to walk with consistency at any retrieve other than dead slow.

IMA makes the other bait I tried, the IMA Skimmer. Different thin profile, easy to walk, and decent hooks. Replace or simply take off the split ring on the nose.

Hope this helps.

I still have a couple of Top Dollar Lures I’m willing to part with.

How very kind. I'll pay shipping.

What’s a fair price? I barely used them. I didn’t like the knuckle ball casting and the epileptic walk the dog action.

On Ebay I found some, but the baits were early in the auction. 3 for $9.50 as of now. Coudn't find a price anywhere else.

Let's say $9.00 each and $5 for shipping?

[Ham]

That seems kinda high for the baits, but not sure how much shipping will be. How about $20 shipped ? I’ll PM you an addy ok?

I've actually been a big fan of the Dogma. Closest replacement I've been able to find for the original Reaction Innovations Vixen in terms of profile, action, and sound. I'm a big fan of all 6th Sense products! Haven't tried the Splashback yet.

Didn't like the Ima Skimmer the first few times I threw it but its been several years and I need to give them another try. Have another buddy who likes them as well and I witnessed him lose a giant river smallie on one!

Mega Giant Dog X and the large size Storm Arushi Walker have been my  best two for the last two years. Have one Top Dollar left and you are welcome to it. Pm your addy will ship. You pay for postage minimum. Send back whatever you think is a fair value including postage.

Yeah, I too really like the Dogma...walks very well for me at the high speed cadences I usually use. Giant Dog X is good but no better than some that are cheaper. This year I’m using the Evergreen Justine 95 a lot.
