A type of topwater lure

A buzzbait is a type of topwater lure that has a rubber jig and a propeller attached to each end of a bifurcated wire. The propeller hits the surface of the water and emits sound and splashes to lure the bass. It is similar to a spinnerbait, but you can distinguish it by using a propeller while a spinnerbait has a blade. A lure mainly used for bass fishing.It is effective when the bus is conscious of the water surface, such as during the rainy season and rainy weather.

It is hard to take root and is easy to use even for beginners

Since it basically swims on the surface of the water, there is almost no risk of rooting. In addition, one of the features is that the body is small and has a single hook, so it has a high performance to pass through debris floating on the surface of the water. It does not require any difficult operation, making it an easy-to-handle lure for beginners.

The best season for buzzbaits is from the rainy season to autumn when bass are aware of the surface of the water. Buzzbaits are also effective because they can slowly swim on the surface of the water when targeting weak bass after spawning in late spring (after spawning). Buzzbaits are said to be less effective in winter, when the water temperature is low, as bass tend to sink deeper into the water. Buses are more active during certain times of the dayFirst thing in the morning, first thing in the evening is the most efficientHowever, you can of course fish during the day.

In general, when it's cloudy or rainy, fish tend to be more active and float to the surface. There are various theories about the cause, but it is said that low light and rain make fish less cautious, and low air pressure makes fish's swim bladders more likely to expand. Therefore, a buzzbait that swims on the surface of the water isA lure that plays an active part in cloudy weather and rainYou can say that. Also, even on a sunny day, if you search for shaded areas around the cover, your chances of catching bass will increase.

Do you need a trailer for your buzzbait?

Buzzbaits have only one hook facing upward, so the hooking rate is a little difficult. Therefore, by installing a trailer hook, you can increase the hooking efficiency and reduce the disassembly. In addition, by attaching a worm to the hook of the buzzbait, you can expect the effect of increasing the lure's silhouette and increasing its appeal, or increasing the lure's own weight and increasing the flight distance.

How to use a buzzbait

source:Pixabay

I've explained about recommended products and trailers for buzzbaits, but how should I use them for actual fishing?

Don't let the basics sink!

A buzzbait attracts fish by hitting the surface of the water with a propeller and making splashes and sounds. Therefore, the basic usage is to make the buzzbait swim on the surface of the water without submerging it. However, this does not mean that you can't catch any fish if it is submerged, and if there is no reaction on the surface, you can get an unexpected reaction by submerging the buzzbait.

Start winding immediately after landing

As mentioned above, the buzzbait is basically made to swim on the surface of the water. However, since the buzzbait is a lure made of metal, it will sink rapidly if it is not wound. Therefore, you can efficiently lure it by starting to wind it immediately after landing. Also, if you start winding from a submerged state, the appeal efficiency will decrease by the distance until it floats to the surface of the water.

Buzzbaits aren't just for bass!
