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 this buzzbait on topwater retrieves where you want a sudden surface disturbance. Let it run and wait for a solid weight on the line before setting the hook—many strikes occur on the first splash.

Pros

  • Topwater “water explosion” action that draws aggressive strikes
  • Closed eyelet helps prevent line sliding on the arm
  • Designed for proper hook-setting timing after the splash

Cons

  • Requires waiting for weight before setting the hook
  • Best results depend on correct topwater retrieve speed and timing
