Buzzers...

A Whack of Buzzbaits...

Killer Surface Action

Here are some of my favorite Buzz-Baits. A few of them, as you can see, have been customized but most are plain deadly right out of the package. You can see the many different configurations of wire, blade and head designs here, although they all are very similar. When the water's cooler or the fish are a little shyer then those triple bladed jobs can be reeled in at a much slower speed and still raise a pretty good albeit more subdued ruckus, so, I use them the most.

Some Sweet Buzzers

Buzz me...

Now this is the bait right here that started all this Buzzin' stuff for this ol' boy. I've swapped out a black triple wing blade for the stock aluminum model. Also I've bent the arms somewhat, to open the gap between the blade wire and the hook point. This little tweak makes that razor sharp hook, ride a bit deeper in the water and has thus resulted in a higher percentage of more positive hook-ups for this ol' basser! This particular lure has landed over fifty fish, if you count the pike that smashed it senseless while I was out Bassin' too! :-)

Totally Twistered...

If You have not tried Buzz-baits for Bass, for Whatever reason, You my friend are totally missing out on some of the most explosive strikes you will ever get in freshwater. Oh ya, If Your lake is full of Northern Pike, toss a Buzzer at them too. Some of the strikes from enraged, charging surface Pike, will totally startle you, to say the least... :-)

Get Buzzin'...
