Thanks everyone for your replies. I'll probably throw one if it seems right. My real concern was that it's tournament day. Everyone is focused, concentrating, envisioning how they're going to catch their limit, and then I go throwing a buzzbait out there, ruining everyone's mojo.

I'm throwing that sucker like I stole it. After I have a good limit and he asks if I have an extra one  I tell em I might rabbit I might 

It doesn't take very long to see if a buzzbait bite is on. By the time your boater gets upset you will either be catching fish or tieing on a new bait. If its dark or at dawn and the water is warming, somebody ought to be throwing it.

As I have seen over the years ,the soft plastic market had taken over the industry and tournament scene. That buzzbait is an amazing and most underutilized bait on the tournament scene. It produces not only numbers but quality .everything needed to win tournaments. If you're in the back of the boat you can smoke the guy in front.
