Super User Gone_Phishin Posted March 28, 2008 Super User Posted March 28, 2008 My all-time producer is the old Leverage buzzbait by McGuinness. My PR also came on this bait. Over the years I have lost only one fish on this bait, and that's without a trailer hook. Quote
Bass n Bows Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Strike King Premiere double buzz. x2 I wonder why everyone doesn't throw these. Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 28, 2008 Super User Posted March 28, 2008 Persuader double buzz for me. It is a derivative of the old Blue Fox double buzzer of which I still have one or two also. I prefer the double buzz for two main and opposing reasons. First, they stay on top at very slow speeds and still make quite a ruckus. Second, in river current, where I do 95% of my fishing, I can burn them in and not have them wash out due the side force of the current. In the summer, Smallies are in the fastest water a lot of times and you really have to be moving the buzzer to attract any bites. I no longer use double-bladed buzzers, because in my experience they tend to pick-up more weeds than single bladed buzzers. Roger Quote
Super User RoLo Posted March 28, 2008 Super User Posted March 28, 2008 1/8oz Strike King Tri-Wing Buzz King That's a good one too, especially on calm days. I usually use the bigger models, but the little 1/8 ouncer can get you into buzzbait action when they show no interest in the bigger, louder ones. For that reason, I usually won't use a buzzbait over a flat slick surface, but opt for a quiet topwater instead. To me it seems that bass are intimidated by lure commotion that's much greater than the natural surface ripple. But the noise and turbulence from that same lure would work fine in choppy water. If you're more patient than me though, working a loud, splashy buzzer over a flat surface is a good way to nail a big slob that's not easily intimidated. Old lunker lure was my first love but there have been many improvements since those days and now if I'm throw'in metal, I like SK and Cavitron. I have gone more to the soft plastics because they can be fished thru the slop easier and make just as much racket with a more realistic look and body movement. www.ragetail.com I've followed nearly the exact same path as you 8-) Roger Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 28, 2008 Super User Posted March 28, 2008 My favorite is the Booyah Buzz. I'm looking forward to trying my Rage Tail Shads, after seeing them on Hook n Look, I think they may be more versatile. Falcon Quote
Big-O Posted March 30, 2008 Posted March 30, 2008 Hope you like'em Maltese, let me know what you think about them after you have had a chance to fish them. Quote

Big-O Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Thanks Rolo, Have that same clip on my website product page. These little baits are tearin' it up. I'm happy you guys are happy. "Stretch a line" Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Just take a look at the cavitron. We try to explain why Cavitron is the choice of both novice and professional anglers. it is also the best quality buzzbait you will find remember www.cavitronlures.com Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 31, 2008 Super User Posted March 31, 2008 Just take a look at the cavitron. We try to explain why Cavitron is the choice of both novice and professional anglers. it is also the best quality buzzbait you will find remember www.cavitronlures.com Thank you Bobby for sending a few to Guntersville for our guys to try out. I fished the Cavitron last summer and had one of my best days EVER! with the 3/8 oz version, black on black. In addition to immediatly getting up on plane, the Cavitron Buzzbait produces a unique "chirping" sound. When it's time to throw a buzzbait, this will be the only brand I use! 8-) Quote
Shabalala Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 3/8 oz. Black Booyah Buzz. Small metal piece that slaps the blade on every rotation. They can't stand it, kills 'em every time. *Clank, clank, clank, clank* Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 I've been using Strike King buzzz\baits for several years and have caught lots of bass on them. Quote
hjerk24 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Strike King- Chartruse with a bleeder hook right from Walmart. I had caught more bass on that top water bait than any other. Usually pick up one or two a trip to Walmart. Can't beat the price. Quote
bassmaster911 Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 I use a black buzzbait at dark. Black is supposedly a good color for night and buzzbaits are also good for night because it is hard for bass to see at night and the vibration helps them find it. IT has turned up good results for me. As far a brand goes I dont think it matters a whole lot if they look and function the same. I usally do not buy the name brand ones because the other ones perform just as well. I buy $1 spinner and buzzbaits that work perfectly and name brand ones from strike king and etc. cost $3-$5. Quote

I usually use nothing bigger than a 1/4 ounce though on such days. When it's more choppy, I will go to the bigger buzzers and the double bladers. Quote
