BUZZBAITS TIP

I like to fish buzzbaits when the surface temperatures range from 60 to 90 degrees. The perfect buzzbait weather conditions are cloudy or misting rain with calm winds. In spring and fall, they account for bass all day long on many lakes and rivers, but in summer when the water is hot, they are usually most effective early and late in the day; however, if you are fishing lots of grass you can fish a buzzbait on the edges all day long.

One trick that I use is to cast out my buzzbait and start reeling it in before it hits the water. I make about 20 turns and stop reeling to let it sink, then start cranking it in and do it again. As the bait sinks the bass will grab it on the fall or just as I start reeling.
