Has anyone had success with the smithwick's devils horse or toothpick
I think it's called a Nip-I-Diddy. It's a long cigar shaped surface lure with propellers fore and aft. It's deadly!
My all time favorite and I'm going back to 1970s when I was fishing waters many wouldn't dream of, thinking they were unfishable but today is common is the Creek Chub Darter. You can work it on the surface, just below with a series of dart, or on a retrieve. Deadly, deadly deadly.
Creek Chub went out of business around 1980. Since then someone acquired the rights or they rebooted, don't rightly know. These days though everything is plastic.
I'm so thankful my father had the foresight back in 80/81 to buy every Darter he could find in any store.
I'm still using them, i have 3 that are torn up, lost or losing paint, and still have 3 or 4 left unopened in their boxes.
From my cold hands as they say
Bass Pro Shops XPS Z-Pop or the XPS Professional Series Topwater Poppers are probably my favorite and most used topwaters for smallies. Also like the live target topwater popper. Pic is of the XPS Pro series popper =)

I got a Phillips crippled killer in black shore minnow color and it has been pretty good catching bass in a lake where bass are scarce.
Megabass back to the garage popper with open gill system, ridiculous price with ridiculous results
Super spook... My fav... Cast a mile and lots of hook ups!...
If the surface is not weedy then the dying flutter is my fave. In the weeds and pads i go with the Spro Frog.
Live target mouse works great
Hula popper as well
