What makes a good buzz bait rod and reel

[Hawgfinder]

Also what buzz baits do you like? Seems like most buzz baits without skirts have huge keepers for a guy’s choice of a trailer?

I use a MH/MF 7'6" baitcaster paired with a 7.1 ratio reel.  I use 40lb. Suffix braid and that bit of extra give in the tip section helps with hookups.  MegaStrike Cavitron Black/Black (1/2oz.) and a War Eagle, same weight Chart/White are my best producers, but I also like an in-line like D&M offers.

Yup, got a video on that too!

The best buzzbait rod is the one that you can cast the buzzbait that works on your water as accurately as possible and has enough backbone to set the hook. For me, that’s a MF/MH normally for throwing 3/8 oz baits into medium cover. I fish a swinging sugar buzz exclusively.

Me too.  I have a zillion 10 that makes it easy to keep my buzzbait up and movin'.

Thanks for the input

I'm currently using a 6'10" MHMF Lews Hack Attack spinnerbait/buzzbait rod with a Daiwa CT Type R 7.3:1 reel loaded with 15lb Big Game mono.

 

I use a variety of buzzbaits, but lately it has been SK Sugarbuzz or Skipn Buzz

iRod Genesis III Swim and Vibrating jig rod 7'2" MH MF is my favorite for buzzbaits. It's the first iRod I bought and since then I have to say it seems to fish a little clumsier than other rods for some reason. 

But I like it very much for buzzbaits and used it for spinnerbaits for a long time because of its excellent hookup ratio. The blank seems to be perfect for buzzbaits and spinnerbaits. I throw it on a slower reel than most Abu REVO Winch 5:4:1. Use Nichols, Cavitron, and Lunker Lure buzzbaits
