| 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. |
