Buzzbaits are very popular topwater baits.  Buzzbaits
have a unique blade called a buzzblade.  This blade is
made to go half in the water and half out of the water.  The
blade causes a huge disturbance in the water driving bass
crazy.  Since buzzbaits are made to stay on the surface,
they are meant for fishing in the shallows for active,
feeding fish.

How To Use Buzzbaits
The buzzbait is easy to use.  To use a buzzbait correctly,
you need a steady retrieve, fast enough to keep the lure
on the surface.  When you cast the lure, stop it just before
the lure hits the water.  This will help you get the buzzbait
on the surface so you can start reeling immediately.  Any
slack line will allow the lure to sink.  You need to hold your
rod tip high when retrieving so the lure stays on the
surface.  

Where To Use Buzzbaits
It is best to use buzzbaits in the shallows and around cover
such as lily pads, docks, weeds, etc.  The lure stays on the
surface so it is most effective in shallow water.  

Types of Fish Caught on Buzzbaits
These lures are one of the best shallow-water lures for
largemouth bass, but they are also very effective for pike,
muskies and pickerel.

Problems With Using Buzzbaits
The biggest problem fishermen have with the buzzbait is
getting on top of the surface right away.  Don't let the lure
sink.  Just start winding before the lure hits the surface and
keep your rod tip high.  Make sure your retrieve is fast
enough to keep it on the surface.
