About the Buzzbait
A wire-frame lure with a rotating blade that churns the surface, creating noise and commotion that draws explosive strikes. Buzzbait fishing is pure adrenaline — you hear the blade gurgling across the surface, and then the water erupts. Retrieve at a steady pace just fast enough to keep it on top, and don't set the hook until you feel the weight.
