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. Cast near cover or along the shoreline, then retrieve steadily; if a blow-up happens, wait until you feel weight before setting the hook.

Pros

  • Creates a strong surface splash/commotion that can trigger strikes quickly
  • Closed eyelet helps reduce line sliding for more consistent topwater action
  • Good for short-range, explosive topwater strikes

Cons

  • Hook-setting too early after the splash can miss fish
  • Can be less effective in very calm, clear conditions where fish are spooky
