Rob Olling Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 I am just wondering what your favorite bizzbaits are based on??? I used to fish buzzbaits ALOT, and the Stanley was the bait that caught. I bought 2 of the terminator buzzers and they sucked so bad that I will not use them, I even bought a $6 buzzer with kind of wide wings on the head but it did not have the feel and PLOP (YES POLP!) that the stanley had. They are not avail here where I live and have though about making a mold after finding this site. The difference I am guessing was wire size and jig head design, but after using the terminators, I will never buy a offset blede ever. The stanleys were 3/8 oz, before I found them I used odds and ends of 1/2 buzzers but had to reel them to fast and resulted in quite a few fun misses. Just thinking out loud.

jigmaster Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Good morning I do not fish buzzers much, butI do pour the lead forms for some tackle makers, and the trend is to smaller buzzers, it would seem. I pour alot of 1/8 and 1/4 buzzers, which seem to sell quite well at tackle shows, etc. I also use premium hooks on the buzzers.........Mustad Ultra-points in 3/0 and 4/0 sizes for 1/8 and 1/4 buzzers.

Hi Rob, One of the best buzz bait that is still available is the Strike King Buzz King. It makes the soft "plop, plop" that you are looking for. It's not expensive and readily available. It has a triple wing, doesn't look like much but catches fish. I use 5/16 oz. RL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
