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 on topwater retrieves where you want a loud surface disturbance and a fast reaction bite. Let it run and wait for the line to load before setting the hook, since the lure can trigger strikes during the surface “explosion.”

Pros

  • Creates strong surface disturbance (“water explode” effect)
  • Closed eyelet helps prevent line sliding on the arm during the topwater retrieve
  • Good for reaction strikes near the boat

Cons

  • Requires delayed hook set to avoid missing fish after the surface splash
