Used Cavitron Buzzbaits For The First Time.......

[tcbass]

After hearing about how good Cavitrons were I ordered two 3/8oz ones from Cabelas and had them sent to the store. Well, they didn't get here in time for my guys fishing weekend. We were able to stop at Capra's, a local mom and pop place on the way to the cabin. I picked up a 3/8oz Cavitron in chartreuse and my friend picked up two 3/8oz ones, one black and one white.

Well, we got out on the lake and my friend took out his white Cavitron and when he hung it over the boat to get ready to cast the lures skirt fell into the water and sank. He's like, "So much for that great lure you had me buy!" He took it well though. I told him I had a brand new Terminator Spinnerbait once and when I opened the package the skirt fell off. He put a Powerbait minnow on the Cavitron. He cast for about 30 minutes without a bite. We didn't catch anything on any of that other lures we had either.

We moved down the shore and finally started catching fish. We caught perch, bass, northerns, and rock bass on Beetlespins, Sieberts Swim Jig with Ragetail Menace trailer, Wacky Rigged Senko, and missed a few on a KVD Sexy Dawg. A Ragetail Toad and black Booyah Buzzbait with Clacker did not produce any fish.

After awhile we when it got toward evening we started catching good bass on the Cavitrons. We caught 6 bass and 2 northerns on Cavitrons Buzzbaits. One black and one chartreuse. The Booyah Buzzbait did not get one hit.

I was really pleased with the Cavitrons. They ran great and because of their design they are very easy to clean weeds off of. My Booyah Buzzbaits are designed differently and really hard to get weeds out of. So that is a great feature for the Cavitrons.

My one problem them is durability. On my 4th bass, a 1.4lber, it was boated quickly and netted quickly, not lifted by the line putting stress on the lure. We got the fish out of the net and the Cavitron was all bent up. I was able to bend it back but I am not sure if it is in it's original shape. I wish they were more durable. Perhaps a Titanium Cavitron could be made!

Either way, a great lure and I plan on buying more in the future if I need to replace these ones. I highly recommend them.

I find them fairly durable, I've caught up to 50 pike on one bait before it was destroyed, and bass are no where near as hard on the bait. Smallies love buzzbaits just as much if not more than largemouth IMO as well.

I just bought a black War Eagle today. I'm hopefully going to try it out at the pond tomorrow.

Durable?  More like indestructable!

 

I have been using one Cavitron for more than 5 years. I ask Bobby what he 

thought about this lure when it has been bent back in place. He said they get

better!

I've broke one Cavitron but that was after being bent back into shape over and over again after dozens of fish. You bend wire enough times and it's going to break, I know that and can't say I was surprised when it happened. Good thing is all I had to do was grab the next one off the pegboard at home and I was back in business next trip

Never had one destroyed by any fish.

 

Just bend them back into their original shape and keep on casting.

I have a couple of them and never had an issue.  I like them better most but all the buzz baits I have tend to catch fish equally.  The Cavitron due seems to hold up better.
