Well i have heard there was only one buzzbait maker that has the clacker that swings around adn the buzz blade hits it to make more noise. Well i wanted a clacker for my $1.00 wal-mart buzzbait so i came up with this.

materials needed

scissors, pliers, drill bit or nail thats a little bit bigger diameter than the buzzbait wire shaft diameter, super glue, aluminum can, a brain to figure your own design

the pics that i will post should be pretty much self explanitory all i did was cut a rectangle out of the aluminum can wrap it around the drill bit and use the pliers to get that heyhole look to go around the buzzbait wire shaft then cut the folded rectangle into a shape i wanted stuck it on the shaft and glued the folds together making sure no glue gets onto the shaft adn there you go!

-just know that some modifications needs to be done, in the first pic the white buzzbait is the modified wal-mart buzzbait and the yellow ones the original wal-mart buzzbait note how i made bends in the buzzbait to were i had the arm that holds the buzzblade bend at a 90 degree angle so i can put a clacker on the other bends were made so it sits deeper in the water

-second pic is were i folded a piece of rectangle cut aluminum can over a drill bit thats a bit bigger that the buzzbait wire shaft and tooke some plires to really get it crimped down to make a keyhole wich will be shown in the third pic

-fourth pic is were i cut the clacker shape i wanted (note that after making the cuts it may need to be re crimped with the pliers and drill bit)

-last pic is were you would just put the clacker you just made onto the buzzbait and just add a bit of super glue squeeze the folds together and there you go! you just modified your buzzbait to make more noize!

Nice mod! I dont have any buzzbaits with a clacker, but then again i only got 2. not walmart ones. I see you do the bead trick to lol.

I have never used a buzzbait, but I found your pictures and instructions to be easy to understand
