Ron Colby, Gary Yamamoto Custom Baits here, and another surface bait we’re using today
is a buzz bait. This is a counter rotating pepper jigs buzz bait with a drop down head.
A little drop down head to keep the beta down under the water, but the panned out head will
help keep it hydroplane a little bit and help push the blades back up onto the surface so
it’ll rotate and stuff. What you’ll want to do with this one is just make a good long
casts. You want to get it tightly covered as you can right along the edges and breaks,
bounce it over rocks, go right through the middle of the brush. It’ll stay fairly weaveless
as long as you’ll keep it moving, and be aggressive with it. Fish it where you don’t
think you can get anything else. I’m going to show you how this thing sounds. There’s
a couple of actions you can use to make these baits work pretty good. With the buzz bait,
it’s all about the noise. Keep your rod tip fairly high. You hear that chugging. As
you hear that blade popping and gurgling across the surface, it’ll sound like a little school
of a shad breaking the surface. Just twitch him a couple of times. There you have it.
