Tiller Posted March 1, 2013 Posted March 1, 2013 I've only owned one buzzbait in my life and have caught tons of bass on it but it finally broke down at the end of last year. I'm gonna buy a couple more soon and wanted to know what size you prefer? I believe I had a 1/4 ounce but not quite sure. I usually fish them though pads and bulrushes in 1-4 fow. Thanks, Joe Quote
Super User Marty Posted March 1, 2013 Super User Posted March 1, 2013 Just a personal preference, but I use the Strike King Buzz King Jr., tri-wing blade, which I think weighs 3/16 oz. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 1, 2013 Global Moderator Posted March 1, 2013 I fish a 3/8oz black on black Cavitron almost exclusively. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 1, 2013 Super User Posted March 1, 2013 I fish a 3/8oz black on black Cavitron almost exclusively. I'm in the same boat, but I acquired some other colors and the 1/4 oz version. Going to give these a try and report results. I'll bet they perform just as well as 3/8 Black on Black. The Cavitron is THE BOMB! Quote
The Rooster Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Booyah clacker. 1/4 and 3/8. Strike King Buzz Jr. 3/16 oz. There is also a 5/16 oz version of this out there. Quote
coak Posted March 2, 2013 Posted March 2, 2013 Another for the Cavitrons..........in both 1/4 and 3/8. Also have heard some good things, but have no experience Warrior Baits Warpath buzzbait. I may pick one up to see for myself what all the hype is about. Quote
Super User rippin-lips Posted March 2, 2013 Super User Posted March 2, 2013 Cavitron 3/8 in ghost minnow with gold blade and black with black blade or gold blade. Will pick up a few 1/4 sometime here soon before April. 1 Quote
Tiller Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Will the 3/8 oz cavitrons stay on top at slow speeds? Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted March 3, 2013 Super User Posted March 3, 2013 Just racked up on my MegaStrike stuff at the Suffern NY show. That included another Cavitron. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 3, 2013 Global Moderator Posted March 3, 2013 Will the 3/8 oz cavitrons stay on top at slow speeds? Yes, the 1/4oz has to be moved quite a bit faster, that's why I prefer the 3/8oz. The tri winged Strike King Buzz King Jr can be fished extremely slowly but something about the Cavitron just catches me more and bigger fish. Quote
Crappiebasser Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Just a personal preference, but I use the Strike King Buzz King Jr., tri-wing blade, which I think weighs 3/16 oz. X2 I use the full size tri wing too. Quote
Sherlock 60 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Cavitron 3/8 in ghost minnow with gold blade and black with black blade. OK. You all convinced me. I ordered the above from Cavitron a couple of days ago and am anxious to see what happens. Never caught a fish on a buzzbait before. Quote
Triton21 Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Google 'Loose Hook Buzzbait' you will be amazed how many more fish you will catch as compaired to a normal buzzbait, almost impossiable for the fish to throw one after they are hooked. I made and sold those baits in the '90s and early 2000s to pay for my tournamet trails fishing. My dead brother-in-laws family are makeing them. Quote
