Now you know the fun of the buzzbait.

I love to buzz early in the AM and then again during the day.

Nothing like a big hit; even the "swallow" hits without the splash are exciting.

Use a trailer hook to increase your hook-up ratio.  Make sure the trailer hook is the same size or one size smaller than the buzzbait hook.

And "change" the bait, too.  Use a pliers and "tweak" the blade's end towards the rearof the bait along the shaft's end so that it makes a different squeek. Experiment with this as it will mean your buzzbaits will have a different sound than other buzzbaits.

Also, if the bass strikes at your buzzbait and misses it, have a Senko ready to throw to the same spot immediately.  Sometimes they will hit the Senko after missing the buzzbait.

In rivers and ponds, you can use a smaller size bait; in lakes a larger size bait.  But I have caught large and small bass on both the large and small sizes so it may not make any difference.

Don't forget the "dual bladed" buzzbait or the inline buzzbaits, too.

Have fun.

Nice fish! Buzzbaits are a blast to use.

Why kind where you using? My faverite is Booyah 1/4oz black w/ clacker. (clacker is a must have) Also check into buzzbaits with 3 bladed proppelers.
