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 shallow, near-surface water and retrieve so the blade creates surface commotion and water “explodes.” When you get a strike, don’t swing on the initial splash—wait until you feel weight, then set the hook.

Pros

  • Topwater buzz action that can trigger explosive strikes
  • Closed eyelet helps prevent line from sliding on the arm
  • Half-ounce size for noticeable surface disturbance

Cons

  • Requires correct hook-setting timing (wait for weight after the splash)
