I've did a good amount of research and still was wondering if anyone had a remedy for replacing the fins on the BBZ. I got the replacement, but don't want to order the two mixtures bill recommends UNLESS i have too. I'd like to go into my local store and find something. Any and all help is appreciated

 

Tight lines BassResource

With such a cheap swimbait that catches quality fish i would think they'd be more input to this question... any input for that matter??

 

 

LIKE I SAID ANY AND ALL HELP IS REALLY APPRECIATED!

REALLY? NO ONE HAS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM??!?

 

ANYBODY??????? LOL

 

My last desperate calling before i try the gorilla glue

I wish I could help, but do not even own a bbz

 

Jeff

Thanks anyways Jeff

 

 

Im just surprised that i haven't gotten anything on such an active forum. I'll give it sometime...  i know somebody knows on the forum. Im assuming there just not looking here. It was a big problem at the start of the BBZ being mass-produced. The fins would fall off before even catching a fish. Years later I'd figure the problem was fixed, but i guess not.

I heard about this problem. Just use some crazy glue. The BBz is one of my favorite swimbaits next to the MattLures Hardbass. I have not had any problems what so ever with the fins. I have one that has caught around 20-30 bass and went through my leg, caught me two 5+ bass in 2 minutes in between each other. It also caught my friends first swimbait fish. It was over 5lbs too. It's really beat to hell and is still running strong.

I have a few of the Jr's, and it hasn't been an issue.

Same here.

Dang lol well my fins only fell of cause of some jumbo pickerel in some of my local waters... Toothy critters swallow half the bbz

 

 

Thanks anyways everyone.

 

Luckily i might of found a solution, hopefully it works.

I just ordered one in wicked perch color. I'll let you know if I have any problems. Probably will be a couple weeks before I even get to fish it though.

There great lures for the $$$ Besides the fins i don't have any complaints except for not making a 10 or 12 inch. When it comes to the hooks though I'd recommend swapping the them out for some better quality. I've lost more fish than landed and most of the ones i lose are the bigger fish. I've only been fishing the bbz for maybe 2 months and already caught a good number of 4s and 3s, but lost 4-6 LMB over 4lb and 1 of them being 6+

 

Everytime i've lost a big one it's been cause of a headshake.

 

 

 

I probably just got a fluke... Yours will probably be fine especially if you dont have any toothy critters locking onto your baits. Good luck any defiantly post up something here if your fins are a problem

I fish in water wolf (pike) infested waters.  I will report on my "fins" when I get a chance to use it. I also have a few other brands I purchased and will be trying out.

Never had a problem. I've go the BBZ, Shad, and Jrs. I originally bought the BBZ as a Muskie bait, and even then, had zero issue.
