    BuzzBaits

    Has anyone tried this before?

    I've noticed if you put split shot on the line with buzzbaits you can get em down and roll em slow at any speed and have the blades spinning.

    With Spinner baits I cant keep the blades spinning rollin em slow.

    Try using some with a quality swivel like Sampo

    I use swivels

    It might have just been luck but I've thrown spinnerbaits and thrown em and thrown em and just cant catch any fish. Then today I throw a buzzbait and catch fish?

    Thanks I will try some of those swivels

    They're are plenty of quality ball bearing swivels out there. If your unable to get your baits to slow roll than most likely you have either bound up swivels, barrel swivels, or a bait that does not have a proportionately sized rear blade to make the bait good for slow rolling.

    Sounds like a swivel issue.

    Good swivels should take care of it.
