What Buzzbait, What Size, And With Or Without A Clacker?

[tcbass]

What are good buzzbaits?

 

I see the Booyah Buzzbait (two kinds: buzzbait and pond buzz - not sure of the difference) and Cavitron both in black or white seem to be popular.

 

 

What size is good?

 

I see 1/2, 3/4, and 1/4 oz.

 

 

 

 

With or without a clacker?

 

I see that a lot of people like the ones with clackers too and some companies have models with clackers and some do not. I noticed that a lot of companies like Cavitron does not have a clacker option.

Has anyone thrown a 1/4oz buzzbait on a baitcaster ?

[mod479]

Caught both LMB and SMB on a 1/4oz black / gold cavitron, most of the red is wore off the hook these days but they still bite it pretty good.

Can't go wrong with Cavitron as far as a non-clacker. As for clacker, I use Booyahs. I like to use a clackers if the water has a little chop. I think the Booyah's only come in 1/2 oz.

Black and white are the only 2 colors I use.

 I bought a Cavitron when back South and used back here in SoCAL and it was ok....Better luck with Strike King white/chrome during day then Booyah black/black with clacker evening into nite fishing

I prefer a squeaker over a clacker.  I like the Cavitron, Booyah Pip Squeak and SK Tour Grade, usually in 3/8.

What's a squeaker?

 

 

 

Are all Cavitron's squeakers?

It's a buzz bait that squeaks and doesn't have a clacker, when you fish one you will know it.  Cavitron's are squeakers.

The Picasso double buzzbait is the real deal, check them out.

The cavitrons wires are sanded and abrasive-What happens is the two metals(from the blade and the wire)rub together at contact points along with the rivot creating a high frequency scratch or squeal.

The next series that is coming out is going to be named the Deliverance Series. Squeels like a pig-and Roland Martin is out and the new spokeman is this guy

Black Cavitron 1/4oz with red blade.

[CDobber]

I prefer black or white and in 3/8 or 1/2.  I believe my first 1/2 black one was a Strike King model from Dicks, and when it was lost I was unable to find the same one.  It really had a nice squeak to it.  The black booyah I replaced it with was ok but wasn't fond of the black blades, silver was better.  

 

I bought a new black one yesterday as the booyah snapped off last week.  Decided to give a tri-wing a try, in 3/16, by Strike King.  At first, I was disappointed right out of the package, the blades felt cheap and didn't want to turn much, by flick of finger or in water.  I took a little steel wool to the shaft and remembered a little trick I have picked up along the way....hold the buzzbait out of the window while driving for a while, and it will eventually develop more squeak.  I did this today and it functioned much better afterwards.

 

I have never seen/noticed any clacker models for sale around here.

Well, I just ordered two Cavitrons, a white one and black one in 3/8's.

White in day time and black at night?

When do you throw the 1/4 and the 3/8?

[missouribigbass]

I preferred booyah with the cracker. Black and white are the only 2 colors I use

[tcbass]

Why do people choose 3/8 over 1/4 or vice versa?

I've had good luck with the Terminator double bladed buzzbait. I bent the blades closer together so that they clack while spinning. I caught a 4.72 on it last Sunday.
