Description

Big Blades. Big Thump. Big Bites. The Buzz Rat is not your average buzzbait—it’s a beast built for big fish and explosive topwater action. Designed with large offset blades, and a big flat bottom resin poured head this lure planes out fast and stays on the surface, even at a slow crawl. The large offset unbalanced blades creates a deep, rhythmic thump that transfers through the double wires to the entire body and the tail, making it mimic a fleeing rat on the surface, driving strikes. A reinforced blade design ensures long-lasting performance, while the wire keeper holds the tail firmly in place cast after cast. Outfitted with a heavy-duty 6/0 Mustad hook, this bait is ready to handle the nastiest fights. Finished with a full 100% silicone skirt and life like black 3D eyes, the Buzz Rat combines toughness, realism, and pure fishing power. Each Buzz Rat is handmade in the U.S.A Buzz Rat Specs: Weight: 1.38 oz Body Length: 2.25" Overall Length From Head To Tail: 6.5" Recommended Rod: 7' Heavy Recommended Line: 65 Braid

Field Notes

Use in warm-to-cool months over shallow, weedy, or open-water flats where you want a slow, surface presentation. Burn or crawl it just fast enough to keep the lure planing and producing a deep, rhythmic thump, then let the heavy hook set on the strike.

Pros

  • Planes out fast and stays on the surface even at slow retrieves
  • Deep, rhythmic thump from large offset blades
  • Reinforced blade design for durability
  • Heavy-duty 6/0 Mustad hook
  • 100% silicone skirt and lifelike black 3D eyes

Cons

  • Best suited to surface/slow-crawl conditions rather than deep water
  • Large profile may be less effective for very small fish
