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 calm to moderately vegetated areas where you can run the buzzbait just under the surface. Retrieve steadily to trigger surface “explosions,” but wait until you feel weight before setting the hook.

Pros

  • Creates loud surface disturbance (“heart attack” style explosions)
  • Closed eyelet helps prevent line sliding on the arm during topwater retrieve
  • Effective for fast reaction strikes near the boat

Cons

  • Hook-setting too early after the splash can reduce hookups
  • Best results require steady surface-speed control
