Buzz Bait Favorite??

[J33wolf]

Buzz Bait question...?

 

1. What is your favorite buzz bait (Brand and Color)?

2. Do you use a trailer on it? (Type / Brand and Color)?

[scaleface]

I think the original Lunker Lure is as good as any . Now days I  pour my own . I almost always use a trailer hook and I have pretty much quit using skirts and go  with a soft plastic swim bait  . The swimbait cast better and retrieves slower.

1. Local Made company & MegaStrike Cavitron/ Colors: White, Chartruese, Black

2. Trailer Hook usually, but if I have a bait missing a skirt I'll put a frog/toad on it.

The ones I use are made by Ohio Pro Lure, and usually a black for color

[YoTone]

3/8th or 1/4 Calvitrons  in black/black and always a trailer hook

[DitchPanda]

I know a lot of guys will say cavitron and for good reason..they are a great bait

For me my confidence lies in a 3/8ths war eagle...white with silver blade 10% of the time...the rest of the time black on black

One knock I've heard on them is they aren't very durable...kind of like there spinnerbaits...but wearing a bait out catching fish is a fair trade to me...especially at $4.59 a buzzer

Cavitron. @Siebert Outdoors has best price on the internet

I've been looking at the Strike King Sugar Buzz, has anybody here thrown one?

[browne762]

I like the Brabec Double Buzz in white with a white Hog Farmer Spunk Shad for a trailer. TW doesn't carry the double buzz anymore so I don't know if he stopped making baits or what, but you might be able to get them direct from Facebook.

Cavitron

I didn't know there were any other choices.

 

[Alex from GA]

Lunker lure or Booyah, 3/8 or 1/2, what ever walmart has.  White and I change the blade to the largest gold one.  Trailer hook when I have one handy.

[Quarry Man]

anybody use the Googan one? I feel as if the company targets groupie teens, but they do have some nice looking buzbaits.

do you like Cavitron with or without the clacker?

[Big Swimbait]

#1 - Cavitron for sure. In highly pressured lakes where everybody is throwing a buzz bait, I downsize to the 1/4 oz in black.  #2 is the D&M Buzz Saw in-line buzz bait, especially if I am on Fork, Rayburn or T-Bend where I know there is a chance for a giant. It a big profile bait with a free-swinging  4/0 Owner Beast hook so you can rig it weedless. I use a Magnum Fluke for a trailer.

[Hammer 4]

Cavitron, white skirt, red blades..3/8 oz.

[r3825]

Cavitron,  black

[keagbassr]

For single buzzbaits I make (not pour) my own  with components from. l.p.o. 3/8oz. Black or chart/ white.

 For double buzzbaits i use 1/2oz. Buckeye lures double buzz same colors plus white. Also not a fan of the painted blades on these so I swap them out for plain aluminum. And no trailers for no just trailer hooks.

Somewhat related question. When you are fishing a buzzbait not from a boat (bank, kayak) where you can’t cover water as quickly, what is your method to fish the buzzbait? Do you throw it over and over? Or do you throw it a few times, throw something else for a bit, then go back to the buzzbait?

I bought a Cavitron last year after reading all the good reviews and quickly put it to good use.  I think I had one hour on a windy day with over 10 fish.  Mine is black with a red blade.

I bought one of these and didn't get a lot of chances to throw it last year.  Do you have any other suggestions for trailers?

Anything that's not a boot tail. I also like the Zako and the Hog Farmer Spunk Shad works well (great colors).

[Bluebasser86]

1/2oz Cavitron, black on black or red and black.

 

3/4oz Croc-o-gator black on black

 

Trailer hook, maybe, any other kind of trailer, no.

[Revival]

Black/Black Cavitron modified so the blade doesn’t have room to move on the wire.  No trailer or trailer hook.

I like it with and without. Depends on conditions. The clacker makes it much “louder.” I think it makes more strikes. The key to any buzzbait is to fish it as slow as possible on top of water. Like many have said adding a trailer will improve the “slowness.”

I wouldn’t worry about that stuff too much. Try them. I picked up a few Googan Bait pop-r types over the winter. They caught my eye, like what I bought, feel great about my future results with them. 
 

I have no idea what all the pro/con hype is about them. Don’t care that much to know. Decent looking product. 
 

Try it. Enjoy it. Good fishing. 

[NittyGrittyBoy]

@BigBassBo I like that bait, especially the idea of snag free and weedless, thanks for that. I'll be ordering a couple.

 

I'm typically a Cavitron patreon, any color blade with a smallish swimbait. I've used the toads but makes the bait heavy and sometimes run funny
