It absolutely picks up way less grass than a treble hook. You can work a buzzbait around pads, dock posts, shallow timber, and flats of grass, and knock the bait up against them without hardly ever getting snagged. You cannot say that with a bait like a Plopper

My hands-down favorite lure to catch bass, 1/2 oz. Lunker Lure Buzzbait, been using them since the late 70's on late 70's rods and reels ( Lew's BB-1 and Ambassadeur reels and 5 1/2' pistol grip rods). I'm never happier, and feel like I'm 21 yrs. old again. Run 'em slow and make 'em squeak and hang on.

Rick Clunn recently talked about how in the early years of fishing buzz baits, he experimented trying to find the best sounds for blade designs and to his surprise, when they actually dove underwater to hear the sound, the stock new buzz baits honestly are very quiet...like almost silent. (He provided footage and underwater audio) It was after learning that where the thought of getting the blade to squeak and later adding clackers to the bait became the norm. So I don't know if I would say the buzz bait is louder than the whopper plopped necessarily, but a good video nonetheless.

I rarely throw a Plopper and I don't have one rigged on a rod at any given time, but I have a rod rigged with a BuzzBait 98% of the time. The time I caught a bass on a Plopper, it was 11" long (hardly a Whopper) but a BuzzBait(capital letters intentional) seems to consistently catch bigger bass. I practice the Bill Dance method of running a BuzzBait just fast enough to keep it on the surface and it seems to work out very well. When Bill Dance talks, I listen.

Great video Tyler. Plopper catches more fish for me. But I catch bigger fish with the buzz bait. Nothing better than a top water bite.

TIP: Learn to use a left handed reel for top water if you cast with your right hand. Will help to get less missed strikes and often you can catch the fish that just bump and run. I am right handed and learn to reel left when I was younger. If you cast left handed then reel with your right and if you prefer to cast with your right then reel with your left. Also don't point the rod at the bait you want it down and about 30 to 40 degrees to the left or right. Get some!

Does it matter if the buzz bait has 2 or 3 bends in the spinner? I bought 2 and didnt realize they were a tri blade.

A BuzzBait requires a bit of finesse in casting/retrieve, at the end of the cast, your rod tip should be close or below horizontal, then, switching hands (baitcaster only) engaging the reel, while pulling the rod tip to 10 o'clock while reeling to get the bait on plane. It's one motion, ideally, you switch hands and thumb the reel before the bait hits the water so your ready to retrieve. Whew, when I think about it, it's no wonder I'm exhausted after 6+ hours of fishing a BuzzBait. The same is be applied when "waking" a spinnerbait. Who ever said Bass fishing is RELAXING?

I have to comment on switching hands after the cast, i see it a lot, but why? It is way easier to cast one sided, like your right hand on the reel and left on the but of the rod and after the cast left hand starts to turn the reel handle or other way a round not some odd mix where one changes the rod from one hand to other hand.

@TylersReelFishing

2 жыл бұрын

You are correct, if you can learn how to cast where you do not have to switch, that is ideal. Most of the time though, people are strongest on their right arm, which makes a right sided cast best. This also coincides with the fact that most baitcasting reels are right-handed retrieve. So you have to switch hands at some point during the cast or just after the lure hits the water. I have learned to cast multiple different ways, but for long bomb casts, I have no problem switching mid air

I currently have a sub 1 sec draw to a 7 yard target that would be impossible without eliminating unnecessary movement. Let me ask you a question … when you use a spinning reel do you use a RH retrieve reel? No, you use a LH retrieve. This should go double for baitcasting. It simply makes no sense. Go look at a video JT Kenny did a while back about this. I’ve been using LH reels for 40 years but JT said he also doesn’t understand why people do this. He certainly uses LH reels. Also we do a LOT of punching down here in Florida and I cant tell you the number of times Ive watched people in my boat miss a fish because the were busy switching hands & got bit on the fall.
