I find it can be more the opposite, that if the skirt is to long it hinders the trailer claws.

Got out today 7-12 only managed 4 bass , 2 on a Spinnerbait and 1 on a fluke that weighed 3-11 and 1 on a yum woolybug that we nt 4-8.

Got out today 730-130. Caught 11 total on a mix of baits; spinner and buzzbait, popper and plopper as well as 3 on a yum woolybug with 2 of those weighing 5-1and 5-6 about 6 casts apart.

Punch it

Sluggo /fin-s-fish/ fluke style bait.

Took a few casts before work today managed to get this 3-7 on a choppo 120

Got out today 7-12 caught 12, 2 on a spinnerbait,3 on a popper, 2 on a punch rig, 1 on a frog and 4 on a toad with the best a 3-15 toad fish.

I went fishing although it was only 90's not triple digits

Fished today 7-2 under a brutal sun with worse humidity. Boated 9 bass ,1 on a choppo 2 each on a buzz and spinnerbait and four punching a double wide beaver with a 3-9 on the spinnerbait and a 3- 8 on the beaver tthe hw best of the day.

I can confirm those pics are fairly accurate. Its a big bait.

Is,was, and will always be a Buzzbait. Why?, because when they're on it ain't nothing more fun for me.

Year over year a buzzbait for sure but this year lately its the ploppers getting it done.

K - pg to replace my B-5

fwiw, Amazon has the okuma tcs 7-3 h-f casting rod for $103. Thats about 40 off tw reg. Price

Reaction innovations double wide beaver is my go to punch bait.

Fished today from.2:30 til.6:30 only managed to catch 3, 1 on a frog ,1 on a toad that weighed 4-1 and 1 on a choppo that went 4-4.

As mentioned above if its got a skirt i also trim it. Any frog that loses its skirt gets rattles in the openings to make it a 'guntersville' frog. Also I add rattles inside frogs for sound and weight. I offset bend my lower buzzbait wires. I also 'bore out' the holes of my buzz blades before putting them on the bait to get that worn out squeak. And I score or scuff up the buzz blade tab and rivet flange for sound. And bend the buzz blade tab out a bit to maximize surface contact with the rivet.

Buzzbait Frog Toad Punch rig Spinnerbait

So after enduring and somehow surviving a 21 day stretch where i couldnt get out in the boat i hit the water today at 7 and fished til 1. I caught 11 total , 1 on bladed jig and 3 on a buzzbait but it was a choppo 120 that did the most work catching 7 including the 2 best of the day at 3-9 and 4-5 both of which came in the first 15-20 casts with the bait.

Buzzbait.

Kinda felt the 'vibe' so i threw the boat out for a few hours this morn. Before work. Fished 7-10 caught 7, 2 on a buzzbait and 5 on a frog with a couple decent ones in the mix that weighed 3-4 and 4-9.

My spinnerbait reel is 5:1 however i often have a 2nd bait rigged up on my 'do all' combo which is 6:3-1. My buzbait reel is also 6:3-1.
