4 Buzzbait Tweaks That Catch More Bass | Tournament-Proven

Now here are some excellent buzzbait modifications sure to increase your success with this exciting topwater bass bait. Buzzbaits are Brandon Cobb's favorite lure for catching big bass around the country. He's been an avid buzzbait connoisseur and tinkerer from a young age and shares his time-tested tweaks to improve skipping, sound, and hookup percentages. In short, you'll get more bites and boat more bass.

1. Remove the skirt and rig with a soft plastic toad. Cobb fishes buzzbaits with toads exclusively -- the addition of profile and flash makes for a better trigger. Perhaps most importantly, skipping performance is vastly improved, so you can easily slide the buzzbait deep underneath docks and overhanging cover.
2. Thread toads over the buzzbait head. If equipped, Cobb advises pinching down the keeper and pushing the toad up and over the buzzbait head. Doing so makes the bait more compact for skipping while reducing length for better hookups (less short strikes). He stresses the importance of threading the toad perfectly straight and shares a tip to do so perfectly every time.
3. Modify the buzzbait blade. Cobb shows how to remove the blade, straighten the connection points to a 90-degree angle, and drill out the shaft holes. The larger gap between the buzzbait blade and arm shaft creates a louder clanking and squealing sound, a known trigger for bass.
4. Lock the buzzbait arm clevis in place. Fixing the clevis in place creates a permanent flat surface by which the buzzbait blade rotates and further enhances the squealing sound that bass find irresistible.

Why not make a 2.0 version with all those tips included in the build?

[@ogjmcnutt9756]

Totally agree with you here

[@funkymojo111]

Yup, just made a few mods on my new buzzbait and noticing the difference immediately. Excited to hit the water tomorrow to test it out.

[@earlmartin3076]

Now I'm gonna put a buzz bait as my hood ornament after hearing that.

[@tomjohnson8479]

Been enlarging the holes since the '70s

[@trolltracker]

[@tylerdurden5147]

Good man, Tom Johnson! Ive been known to destroy a few holes just to prove a point.

[@taylormoore4991]

[@Wired2Fish]

You're welcome!

[@OhMyLarryFishing]

We all fish it but man my favorite thing about it is the hookset baby!!

[@dguerra1969]

Awesome

[@clewis382]

I get the same squeak by leaving the buzzbait in bleach for a few days. They drill a couple of holes in the blades to create a bubble trail

[@Ben-rj7xs]

I've just gotten into buzz baits, and I am having a blast so far is there any tips you can give me as to any mods I can do to catch more fish. Thank You.

[@jsphirwin]

If he designed it why all the modifications

[@z0ob0y]

Exactly.

[@trolltracker]

Because things we buy are mass produced. Also he has his own specific needs and uses for the lure. Thanks.

[@trolltracker]

@@z0ob0y you make "blooper" videos about ... children being beaten. Weirdo

[@MrGogogordo]

@@trolltracker WTF?

[@jsphirwin]

@@trolltracker thanks for the info you are obviously a very intelligent person

[@Pw_pathsala]

❤️❤️

[@CarolinaBassHunter]

I just threw a buzzbait this morning for the first time in a long time.

[@ulisesgarcia534]

Does this float ?

[@Richard-mj5dp]

Would love to see the skip. I find the 3/8oz hit and miss.

[@19jake23]

That is an aluminum pop rivet head Bro not a clevis. Good buzz bait tips, Thanks.

[@paulwildum802]

You designed this bait yet it needs all these modifications??

[@ShafikKassam]

Too much work to fish a buzzbait.

[@ShafikKassam]

@Elena Mae I like to be versatile also, but I don’t want to spend 10-15 minutes rigging up a bait.

[@codyc5000]

I thought it was a parody as soon as he mentioned the drill I pull out my drill Then I whip out the hot glue Then I pull out my Glock and shoot it

[@Brunnen_Gee]

Nah, it takes longer to put line on a reel than it does to do these mods.

[@JSantel]

Buzzbait fishing is so much fun! All you need to do for a good squeaking sound out of it is crimp the rivet (or as the professional buzzbait man calls it, a "clevis") tight to the wire so it doesn't move around. Another thing some people do is tie them to the car's antenna for a bit to break it in while you're driving lol. And there are some good ones that come with holes in the blades, which isn't a necessity if you ask me. Many of them catch fish just the way they come. We just get picky about what we think means more strikes. Some people get a bit obsessive 😂

[@kenneth9874]

Lazy?

[@FoxXi3]

LMFAO how bout get a better buzzbait

[@NothinFancyFishing]

Don't believe it. These guys don't give away their real tricks

[@Wired2Fish]

These are some solid mod tips, 100%.
