Not no fail, they all do sooner or later. They're not cheap at $20 but I've got to say the Rico Lobina popper. I fish a lot of topwater and it's worked more consistently for me in all conditions over the past ten years than anything else I've used. I've still only got one and it was a gift. It's missing some paint and the tail feather's gone but it works as well as when it was new.
