The Guide To Spinnerbaits & Buzzbaits

SPINNERBAITS & BUZZBAITS

Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits are different types of fishing lures, but they are grouped together because of their unique design style. Both buzzbaits and spinnerbaits have spinning metal blades built around a hard wireframe.

SPINNERBAITS

Spinnerbaits are fishing lures with an attached metal blade that rotates and spins during the retrieval. In fishing, there are Inline Spinner Baits and Wired or Close Pin Spinner Baits. Each bait style helps anglers catch different species of fish using different techniques.

BUZZBAITS

Buzzbaits are a sinking lure that works on the surface of the water. Once the buzzbait hits the water, you want to immediately begin your retrieve to help keep the sinking bait on the surface. As you reel in, the spinning propeller blade will continually spin; this creates a loud buzzing sound and distinctive water disturbance.

Fish buzzbaits near sparse vegetation, shaded areas, or places where you see fish feeding near the surface.
