oh I smoke that much that's so far it'd come off I think they smoked that thing I think he come off
no he's still living there maybe he just had a lot of a lot of dog in him when he bit it
because that was a hard bite it ain't no bad one
get your big butt up in here you talking about a Buzz bait bite it's not much funner than that.
That's one of the deals so with the Strike King skipping Buzz bait
you see I drugged that dude through all that plastic. It's ready to go back fishing because
of the wire keeper we have. That's a pretty big fish, and he did not straighten my Buzz
bait out. Most Buzz baits would be a mess. You'd be trying to get them back together
so they'd run straight with the little unique wire keeper we have. That's not an issue at all
So when we think about Buzz bait fishing it's just uh other than winter time it's a year-round
technique and you know one of my favorite things about it is you can just cover so much water you
know if you're walking the dog with a stick bait or or a pop or it's slow it's slow but anytime you
can catch them on something you can cover water you're going to make more cash throughout the day
it's going to increase your percentage of putting it in front of fish again you're going to catch
more so the number one thing for me about a Buzz bait is I can cover so much water and
it's a big fish technique so you catch big ones you cover a lot of water you catch a lot of fish
when conditions are right and conditions are perfect today with a Cloudy and you can catch
them in the Sun as long as you got a lot of wind but today front coming in Cloudy a little bit of
Breeze that is ideal conditions to put a buzzbait in your hand cover a ton of water and have a lot
of fun and it's pretty easy to fish you know you just throw it out wind it in and here's the deal
you throw get the buzzbait on top you wind here's the trick when your heart hits your butthole jerk
you know we've kind of evolved in our Buzz bait fishing where we mostly use Plastics instead
of skirts it originally because I could skip it so well this is Buzz bait the Striking skipping
Buzz bait is designed to skip but another deal is you can change your Plastics you can change
your colors I use a raised bug scound bug this is the rage swimmer or frog there's so much you can
do with it so fast and that plastic gives the fish something to key on it it just seems like
they eat it better you just catch them better with plastic than you would a skirted bait
so here's the trick with this this is the Striking skipping Buzz bait it's the best plastic toting
Buzz bait there is in my opinion uh one reason is because of that keeper but when you're rigging it
here's the deal so come all the way to your plastic touches the lead
like that and then you know it's time to come out with the hook point
get it good and wet and remember them barbs on there slide it up now here's a big key most of
the buzz baits we always use was just round heads and and the plastic would turn if you
got a frog right now I got a raid swimmer but if you get that one perfectly straight and you
remember them barbs just take your fingers sink them barbs into the size of the plastic now the
plastic won't turn on the hook and they'll run perfectly straight every time that's the
key to rigging it and then barbs will hold that plastic on there straight and from sliding down
Mighty that might be a big one. Jump big boy, big girl, the girls are bigger than this sport
he's got a face full of skipping Buzz bait
see that's it ah get up in here that's that plastic he ate the plastic and then you get
them really good but here's the deal about this Buzz day this particular buzzbait with that wire
that's the second big one I've caught drug them through all that Lily pass there's no readjusting
there's no doing anything you just go straight back to fishing and your Buzz bait's gonna run
just like it came out of the pack so buzzbait's a pretty weedless bait you can bring it through just
about anything so it's going to deflect and the Hook's gonna kick away from just about everything
as you see I can wind it through these pads no problem but one of the keys is point your rods
straight at it don't know why it just really helps and you can just steady wine through the
past don't jerk just keep winding and and man it'll walk right through there we'll have one
just a minute ago the buzzbait was actually on top of a pad and the fish tried to get it
it's almost like a frog you know we would think if you see this situation a lot of times you wouldn't
think of buzzbait you would think frog but man that Buzz bait would just it'll just walk right
through there and even a lot of times when it's coming over the pads and stuff that's when you
trigger the bites you know it's kind of jumping out of the water much like a frog and that's
when the bikes will be triggered but it's a very I don't want to call it weedless snagless you know
it ain't gonna come across a hydrilla mat like a frog but if you've got lily pads or or any type of
brush or Shoreline grass you know Buzz bait will walk right through there especially one where you
put plastic on there it seems to make it even that much more weedless yeah on a Buzz bait there's a
there's kind of two schools of thought one is braid and then you know one is monofilament or
fluorocarbon for me I'm a fluorocarbon guy that's kind of a personal preference deal I don't like
braid I feel like I jerk it away from too many fish I tear a hole in their mouth and I lose a
lot more fish on Brave just because it puts such a big hole in their mouth I'm fishing lily pads
today I've had no problem with the fluorocarbon but again that's kind of kind of a personal
preference thing I know guys it's really good they swear by braid I know guys it's really good they
swear by floor carbon fluorocarbon to me is the best of both worlds monofilaments got a lot of
stretch braid has zero stretch fluorocarbon has low stretch and for me that's the best of both
worlds so that's the big debate as far as rod goes I like a longer Rod this is actually a 7-3 team
Loop Signature Series Thunder Cricket raw that's my thunder Cricket Rod it's got a lot of the same
properties when you talk about a rod so that's what I throw my buzzbait on is pretty stiff so
I got a lot of backbone to drive that hook through drive that fluorocarbon through um but then I got
tips so it'll load up and I can really launch it or if I'm Target fishing I can be really really
accurate also high speed reel I use that I use the loose Pro SP skipping pitching reels got plenty of
line throw Buzz bait on um and it's high speed I actually used eight three to one just get that
Buzz bait back up on top of the water fast and and uh this really lowers the fatigue on you there's
not a lot of drag so a lot of a lot of spinner baits and thunder crickets you know I wouldn't
throw on a high-speed reel because there's so much drag and so much torque on you it's pretty hard
there's not a lot with a Buzz bait so you can wind it with a high speed reel so I use the high speed
eight three to one lose Pro SP my thunder Cricket Rod so it's the signature series Thunder Cricket
bladed jig Rod but it could be called a Buzz bait Rod 20-pound striking Contra fluorocarbon that's
my setup I've got a lot of fish on buzzbait I have a lot of confidence that this is the right setup
oh
I did that one purpose. I perfectly he smoked it, and then I hesitate if you wanna
uh oh whenever they smoke it come here buddy
whenever they smoke it you just hesitate just for a second before you jerk and it really allows them
to eat that bait and you'll just catch them so much better ah so much fun but look again
it's the third good one we've caught do nothing the Buzz bait still perfectly in shape, and you
go right back to fishing you may tear your plastic up, but they're not going to tear the Buzz bait up
