Description

Sometimes referred to as the ‘heart attack lure’, due to the shock of having the water explode on one of these top water lures, sometimes only a few feet from the boat. A common mistake made with these Buzz Baits is trying to set the hook when the water explodes. Wait until you feel weight on the line, then set the hook. Our 1/2oz buzz baits are one of few that have a closed eyelet, so your line doesn’t slide up and down the arm, which is important for the top water retrieve.

Field Notes

Use in warm, low-to-mid light conditions when bass are willing to chase surface commotion. Retrieve steadily so the blade/buzz creates splash and vibration; wait for weight before setting the hook after the water explodes.

Pros

  • Creates strong surface disturbance that can trigger explosive strikes
  • Closed eyelet helps prevent line sliding for more consistent topwater action
  • Effective very close to the boat when fish are near the surface

Cons

  • Common mistake is setting the hook too early—requires waiting for weight
  • Surface lure can be harder to control in heavy wind or chop
