I have had tremendous success with a Rapala Skitter Walk or Skitter Pop with a bright orange chest on it when fishing dark or dirty water

This is used, for example, to keep you logged in

This reel features a synchronized level wind system for even line lay

Lots of action, no other anglers on the water to compete with, and a location so accessible that you could slip in a quick hour's fishing without making a major day-long event out of it, like most major big-lake destinations require

You still want to pick moving topwaters versus baits that you have to fish slower like hollow body frogs and poppers
