If your looking for a good prop bait, go for a chopper or a pacemaker. Best on the market.. topraiders are okay too though ;)

Never had much luck (no hits) on top water.  The damb fish always miss the lure.  One ski hit at it 4 times and missed each time.

Try a Zara Spook, or Zara Puppy. You'll need to figure out how to 'walk the dog' on your retrieve. I can't really describe it in writing, maybe you can find a youtube showing it.
