Buzz Bait

[Andre Laas]

Hi Monster

Some of them are on this thread: http://www.sealine.co.za/view_topic.php?id=28369&forum_id=32&jump_to=384656#p384656

If I remember, I'll post some of the original lure that inspired me on Monday or so.

Fishing Buzz baits can easily save a fishless day. I am a huge fan of them. One thing that I have noticed about them, is that you must fish it just fast enough so that is doesn't sink. Do not fish it fast. And at night, they are DEADLY.

Rainy, overcast days, early morning, late afternoon and night times.

Please excuse the Bass on the ground, it was taken before I knew better...

Hi Koos

I somehow missed your question. I stripped the buzz blades off old cheap buzzbaits that I did not use much more. But I have seen loose Buzz blades at some shops. I have also made a couple of my own out of Coke cans, but they tend to be a little flimsy and needs a lot of "re-forming" to keep them working properly.

I really think SA is far behind in terms of having luremaking materials available for diy lure enthusiasts. Most lure components are unavailable locally, and those that you get are generally over-priced. But being South-African, we just need to be creative with what we've got!

I went through a stage of really wanting to catch fish on buzzbait so I threw them quite often. I've only ever had one small boil. Now I throw a chrome Zara Spook almost exclusively when fishing on the surface.

I'm sure they work, just not for me. I've lost all confidence in them.
