Anyone ever try this out? Picked one up because it looked interesting. Sorta is like a buzz bait with a popper IMO. Tired it out for a bit just to see how it is in the water and I actually kinda like it but I didn't get any bites. Let me know what you guys think if you have tried it.

Oh yeah there is a blade like a buzz bait in the front of it but its not in the picture for some reason.

They need better hooks.

I have these in every size and color too. I would try it in the early mornings and late evenings as the sun goes down and the topwater bite increases. Stay trying it sooner or later you will figure it out and it will work. You need to figure out what presentation to use too at that time. Stay with that one lure and practice presentations with it and you maybe surprised what happens when you get it right. There's no trick just fish it and practice with it.  We know the fish are there its figuring out the presentation.

 

I have spent a lot of $$ buying up all different kinds of lures to test out and see if they work or not since i have the time to fish everyday being retired. I'm slowly finding out they all work sooner or later.

Do you like the weed guards?  From my short experience they seem to work ok but I wouldn't throw it into anything too weedy.

They work better in the box!! I tried them, I switched out those cheap hooks, the one Arbogast that I didn't like in the long run :-[

Mine are older versions without weedguards, I did remove the stock hooks and put new ones. Can 't complaint about them I 've caught a lot of fish with them ( the three are preatty chewed ) but not by reeling in them steadily ( like a buzzbait ), I fish them more like a Torpedo ( jerk-jerk-stop ).

Yeah thats pretty much how I was fishing it too. Love torpedoes!

when i fished this i couldn't even get the blade to spin like a buzzbait. i love the idea of it, a buzzbait u can stop. it just seems like it has to b fished like a slushbait or torpedo. has potential tho.

They are good lures but have more of a propbait action than a buzzbait.
