Hi D,
They'd sure bite 'em if the water is clear enough, but whether you can hook and hold them with the little crappy hooks found on most bass baits is another issue!
The Parana is a huge river and is most likely going to be too dirty for great topwater action so you're probably going to need crankbaits, which you'll troll and cast.
If you're fishing a clearer tributary, weedless spoons are a good option.
The locals like using a live bait called a Morena (clown knife), which you rig with wire and one or two hooks.
Have fun!
best,
L
