Buzz Baits
Buzz Baits are another great top water action bait. Enjoy the tups and tricks for Buzz Baits.
- Buzz Baits are great for morning fishing.
- Have a new Buzz Bait? If you're driving to your fishing location hold the Buzz Bait out the window to
"wear" it in. (A Non-Driver)
- Experiment with bending the blades to give the bait a different sound.
- Add a trailer hook to increase your catch percentage rate.
- Buzz Baits work best in calm waters.
- Run Buzz Baits over shallow weedy flats when other baits have a hard time getting through.
- Although Buzz Baits work in clear water, they work even better in murky due to the sound of being able to
attract bass better.
- Add a trailer for extra action!
- Overcast and calm? Throw on a Buzz Bait.
Spinner Baits
Spinnerbaits are a great year-round bait. Just make sure you fish it extra slow in the winter. Here are some pointers the next time you add one to your line.
- Add a low profile trailer.
- If your sitting on the boat or on the dock you can use it as a vertical jig too.
- Use a spinnerbait as a search bait. They cover a lot of water fast.
- To fish a spinnerbait more rapidly, use or add a willow leaf blade.
- Short strikes? Add a trailer hook.
- Often you may feel a slight nudge or bump when retrieving. Set the hook! You may have a shy bass.
- To trick a hungry bass, slap on a spinnerbait with 3-4 blades. This will add an effect of more schooling bait
fish.
- Rounded blades produce greater vibration. Use these types of blades in murkier waters.
- Once you catch that bass, remember your retrieve speed and the position of your rod (as this affects the
depth of your spinnerbait) so you can get his friends too!
