The only one I can get to work is a Lunker lure one in white that I found about 3 years ago. I have a SK, Glamour shad and a couple others but the only one that seems to work is a white Lunker lure one that squeaks so bad it hurts my ears!

I've tried quite a few. War Eagle, Cavitron, Booyah, and some others. 

 

I do like the Booyah clacker. 

 

 

However, the Cavitrons are hands down the best. Amazing.

Bravo. 10 year old thread, back to life like Lazarus. FWIW, cavitron or bust.

My cavitron swims at a 45. Any tips on how to tune it? 

my advise is to buy another brand.  my cavitrons all run severly off course and i dont find them to come up on plane or run slower than the competitive brands.

 

they are way overhyped on this site like some of the other sponsored products.

There is a sad update to my post from a decade ago. My favorite Lunker Lure buzzbait fell victim to a savage Tiger Musky attack and was destroyed.

Tuning buzzbaits is a skill I've yet acquired . I just straighten the wires  out the best I can and take advantage of the direction  they run . Cavitrons have thin  wire and have to constantly be bent back into shape . Bump them into everything . On a good buzzbait bite I like to have a left and right runner  tied on .

Out of the Buzz baits i use. i like the 3 bladed Booyah. the wire is strong for the tuff stuff that you get into. also i like the three blade due to the fact you can really slow it down. if you are a burner then i would go with the 1/2 oz double blade white on sunny days and black on dark days. i will do more burning on sunny days that on cloudy days. i have wanted to use the strike king swivel head series but i just cant seem to just pull the trigger and get one. i look at it and tell my self do it but i just cant. 

 

i hope this helps and gives you insight.

I don't know about best, but the Strike King catches more fish for me than any other I've tried, and I've tried a bunch, including all the ones mentioned above.

I've used a lot of buzz baits budda snooze alarm, booyah buzz bait, strike king swinging sugar buzz,revenge baits buzz bait, Picasso Dinner bell buzz bait,  war eagle, single blade, double blade, clacker, non clacker.

 

The only one that's still in the tackle box and not hanging on the wall in the man/fishing cave as decoration is the Cavitron. I've  black, white, white/Chartreuse all in the different blade color combos (black,red,gold)

I really like the bps brand buzzbaits, its design keeps the line from tangling around the buzzbait, they have really sharp good hooks and they seem to catch me bass  :)  so thats my vote

The bps later eye 1/4 oz has a different sound and has accounted for a many a bass in my weigh in bag.... they're not too noisy and not too subtle... they're just right... and reasonably priced

I use some that a local guy here on Table rock makes . If I have use a store bought it's war eagle or crock o gator.

Do you get them to swim upright?

Prefer to use SK. Just catch more fish with this book zzz bait than others ans very durable as well

Ha! I didn't even notice the dates. Haven't been here in about a week, and as I was looking through the first page I kept thinking, Hmmm... lots of new posters and people I don't recognize, did they all pop up this week?

 

Anyway... one more vote for the Cavitron. It's really the only buzzbait I fish anymore.

So I just started using buzzbait and still wondering which one is better? Sooo many to choose from and when would you wanna use a clacker or one with holes or no holes etc? And best weight for use?
