Share some secrets


Like hang it from your tow vehicle's antenna, or just off the side when you're running... the more they spin, the noisier they get.Fishing Joe wrote:There are other tweeks that you can do to your buzz, but these are some of your more popular. I hope this helps you. Good Luck and tight lines
What's the reason you have to bend any part of the bait YOUR way? and if you don't mind what is YOUR way?Kelly Ripa wrote: ...But I do bend up everyone to get it to plane MY way. The Cavitron is really a good bait staight outta the package but because of the wire vs cable I cannot get MY bend. :

Sorry for so many questions![]()
GREAT tip... I figured that out myself (quite by accident) when I first started using them, and just adopted it as SOP.Kelly Ripa wrote:To those who are new at this I can't stress enough to stop the cast BEFORE it hits the water. You Lay it out...stop it and are on the retrieve when the bait hits the water.....Lots and Lots of hits in the first very few feet this way.
Kevin, I bend the blades out or in for clicking or no clicking. If I have found that some like the clicking some don't. After reading Kelly's post here I a mgonna work on the plane factor also. Thanks.. Kelly! I hope this stuff helps you, Kevin.. It is definnitely giving me some valuable pointers for buzz baits. I have caught more fish on top water lures like sammy's ghosta, etc. I still haven't gotten the results I am trying for with the buzz baits. .. So Kevin.. Thanks for asking all the questions..Kevin Shin wrote:
What's that you try to achieve by this experiment of yours? Do you just change the angle btwn blade and hook arms or anything else?SoCalBassAssassin wrote: but have a dificult time with setting the position of the props at different angles to experiment.
I have 3 of the 1/2oz baits, and not a single one runs straight. they had pretty much everyhing i was looking for (holes in blade, good head design, angled wire, etc) but I cant get em to run right. Its not that they track left or right, but they lay on the side when I retrieve them.Scott wrote:I'm going to second or third Revenge Buzzbaits
I'll wait for the pics if it's not asking too muchKelly Ripa wrote:Hart thats another sweet bait too> The ones I can't stand are the dbl buzz that are two seperate wires that are not connected at the line tie.
I'll Have Younce ( Nunyo Bizness ) Take a few pictures this Sunday for ya. I bend the arms of the blades out flat almost and do a bend on the hook portion that starts about 1/2 inch from the line tie at around 30 degrees and then taper it out to a parrallel of the blades. it is down in the water a bit but allows it to plane quick on the take up. I also use a split ring on the nose as I like the idea of a "wrist" or something that can keep the Green masters from getting an angle on me. To those who are new at this I can't stress enough to stop the cast BEFORE it hits the water. You Lay it out...stop it and are on the retrieve when the bait hits the water.....Lots and Lots of hits in the first very few feet this way. I thought I'd hung a tree the other night as I never heard the bait make a sound...Course I'm gett'n pretty deaf...![]()
I use 1/4 0z single bladed buzzbait (Black) in the spawn. I just have found the fish get more aggressive as the summer goes on and 1/2 0z makes a big meal.

My single blade buzz baits run the same way, bpm. i have several of the Cavitron single blade buzz baits, and it seems that no matter how I rig them they run with the blade on the side. I just thought that was the nature of the beast. What say you, Kelly?bpm2000 wrote:I have 3 of the 1/2oz baits, and not a single one runs straight. they had pretty much everyhing i was looking for (holes in blade, good head design, angled wire, etc) but I cant get em to run right.

I like the strike king titanium pros (discontinued) or the R2S crystal buzz myself. Persuader double buzz is good too for the slow roll.

I use a spade tail pro worm the spade tail puts out a good amount of thump and still allows me to use a stinger hook and gives me added color and bouancy. Along with Buddy Browns details at times I will cup the blade more getting it to run slower without sinking.buddy brown wrote:People tend to reel their buzzbaits in too fast which can cause it to run on its side. A single tailed grub can help stabilize the bait so it can be run at a faster tempo, but the grub tail can catch air during the cast and shorten the distance of it, which can result in the bait spinning in the air or the wicked backlash. I put a yammy single tail on there and clip the tail so there is about 60% of it left, which forms a little flag end. This little flag end will not catch the air as much as the full curled tail, and the salted grub body will still add weight and stability to the bait. I clip a "v" into the flag which gives it a little action.
J & T still had a few the last I looked. Call Dead Eye at; 951/679.8598 and ask who has them in stock.Dan P wrote:Those don't worklittlebailey wrote:Two words. Dead Eye.

J &T gets a decent size order of them right before summer. Not sure if they have anymore. These baits are very well made. I had a 5+ just crush the bait and didn’t even phase it.
