Probably can't go wrong either way...but I'd vote for the classic no clacker model.

Watch flukemasters YouTube video on modifying them, works great.

The non-clacker model makes an awful, hair-raising squeal right out of the package... it's fantastic!

Yep, works great right out of the package.  No fussy mods necessary.

I am surprised. I though more people would have voted yes for the metal clacker tab making even more noise and all!

Another vote for the non clacker model, these baits are awesome right out of the package...

Another vote for Black Cavitron, it works!

I dont use a  clacker . I make the baits squeal . If it wont squeal , I leave  it at the lake for someone else to find and use .

Squeal?

The blade rests on a rivet and it squeaks as the blade turns. You can take pliers and smash the rivet down so it doesn’t rotate with the blade and it’ll squeak more. 

I have 3 bizzbaits, 2 are cavitrons. One is black with a red blade, other is white with a silver blade. The other buzz I think is a strikeking but not positive. Its white/chartreuse with a silver blade. The strikeking has the best squeal to it, but the cavitrons can go a little slower. I feel like I need slower ones to be effective though. 2/3 bites ive had this year on a plopper have been on a pause. I can't pause a buzzbait cause it sinks. So next best thing would be something slower. So far the buzzers haven't done anything for me but I throw them nearly every session so maybe one day they will.

I dislike the calitron thats why im here. Last 3 ive bought are crap. One runs on a 45 degree angle and all of the skirts fell off in one day of use... Reading the archives looking for better option 

 Not a fan of cavitrons either. They don't run truer or slower than other brands I've used.  Too much hype for a mediocre bait imo.

HART TACKLE HART THROB...GOOD FISHING...

  I think they are all pretty much the same . Except the cheap Wal-Mart ones . They are junk ..  Look at how the blades turn and get two lures . One that turns each direction  , that way you will have baits that run left and right . The original Lunker Lure turns opposite of most other baits . On a good buzzbait bite I will have both rigged up . Colors  , my favorite is the old 40 count rubber in yellow or chartreuse. Now comes the  onslaught of black Cavitron suggestions . . 

 

COMES OUT SQUEALING LIKE a MOUSE...NO RIDES DOWN THE INTERSTATE NEEDED...

 

GOOD FISHING...

We’ve always had good luck with Cavitrons. And I’ve tried a lot of buzzbaits. 

 

My friend had a skirt fall off of a brand new one, got old in the package I guess, and the Cavitron guy, can’t remember his name sent my friend a brand new package of skirts and a brand new Cavitron for free. 

 

Best CS around. 

That cavitron guys a pain in the bass

Hmm when it rides on the 45 ,it means you're reeling it too fast

This is the fella. Bobby. Great guy and great CS!!!!

 

 

I'll only buy Cavitrons from now on. Tried many, none worked as well as Cavitrons. They straight catch fish and the guy stands behind his product. Thanks Bobby!!!

Don't tell anyone you'll ruin my reputation as a bad guy. Lol

If you reel any slower it sinks hmmmmm

Tactical Bassin did a video about buzzbaits. I had one that would lay over on its side. After watching the video I found out the wires were not in line. One was bent off to the side instead of being straight in line with the other one.

Nah I can take one look at what you're doing and figure it out in 5 sec  . Gotta be something ,it won't sink at proper retrieve speed

It may be a local brand but super G lures makes my favorite buzzbait. I’ve never seen a cavitron
