VersatileFuturian Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is there a bead out there that actually helps to prevent grass from getting wound up in front of your buzzbait blade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo Al Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I remember having buzzbaits years ago that had a plastic cone ahead of the blade. I think they were like what the lure parts suppliers call tee beads. If I remember they were pretty good with keeping weeds from tangling in the blade. I forgot about them until you posted this. I think I'll get some and try them out. Worth a try I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember those as well, and I also remember that they helped some, but many of the blades still got weeds wrapped around in the front of the bead and on the shaft. i don't use many buzzbaits these days though.

smalljaw Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Strike King blaeeding bait buzzbaits have a rubber cone in front for the same purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBull Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 I and a few others in this area take a piece of brass inline spinner part and mill and drill it to look like the lead part of a rifle bullet. Its a lot of work but does help a lot. Is it perfect, no, but the percent of weedless wraps goes up enough to worrent doing it. Good luck.

JBarlow Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is a good idea. Next time I build a few buzz baits I am going to try this. I hate the weeds that get all twisted up on the front of the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VersatileFuturian Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Here is another question for you guys. On a double buzz. Do you guys like the clockwise blade on the right and the counter clockwise on the left or vise versa if you are looking at the buzzbait coming toward you?

Tony Maxwell Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I set mine up so that the water gets thrown up and out. Seems to be able to be retrieved slower. IMHO> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dink Master Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Here is another question for you guys. On a double buzz. Do you guys like the clockwise blade on the right and the counter clockwise on the left or vise versa if you are looking at the buzzbait coming toward you? YES - This way helps throw weeds away from your bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
