Both of these aspects can be customized by the angler. As we all know, buzzbaits relate to both a profile it mimics or the sound it makes on the water. A quieter presentation with a slow retrieve can often bring those fish up where they would normally ignore a loud invasive metal blade.īuzzbaits are not always thrown traditionally – by that, I mean standard out of the packaging with one hook and a skirt. If I am fishing a pressured fishery, I will very often use the quieter, hard plastic blades. The bigger blade helps create more resistance on the water, thus slowing the bait down and gives the fish a little more for it to strike when they are lethargic. With blade sizes, I use a bigger blade for cooler water and a slightly smaller blade for warmer water. If I am working weeds or grass I will fish it to straight 30/40lb J-braid. ![]() The reason mono is ideal is because it stays up in the water column better than fluorocarbon. I normally fish buzzbaits on a 7 – 7’2" medium-heavy or heavy action baitcasting rod, 15 – 20 lb monofilament line or 30/40 braid spooled on a high-speed baitcasting reel. ![]() ![]() Skirtless Buzzbait, with a Horny Toad trailer Rod and Reel Setup
