The new buck eye buzz bait looks exactly like the buzz baits I have been making for years. Some people probably don’t know but that style buzz bait comes from a spinner bait wire form. Get you some hidden weight 1/2 or 3/8 oz spinner bait heads and buzz bait components, add a couple of bends and BAM the perfect buzz bait for 1.50. I use 1/2oz and med. size blades. They are absolutely beautiful. The hidden weight is perfect for holding a strike king frog (jr). Ok now my secret is out.

Swindle’s buzzbait frame-I’d argue that where the bend is placed upon “stress” (i.e. hookset, fish fighting.) the hook point orients at a slight angle down, buring further into the fishes mouth and/or/preventing the likelihood the hook will backout or get thrown. JMHO

Hellgrammites bro. Say it like hell-gram-mite. Those baits work extremely well for smallies up north, I used use them when I lived in Ohio kayak fishing rivers & large creeks. They just need to be small 1.5-2.5 inches. Black or dark brown only color you need. Fish on small texas rig or ned. I moved down here to southern SC about 2 years ago now. I haven't tried them down here now you guys bring them up! Not sure why? I'll have dog them out give them a try around here

So the bend in the wire is his purposed to keep your plastic under the water a little bit so it runs a little truer if you're plastic is too close to the top of the surface of the water like a toad this design I believe would be best use with some kind of paddle tail or a craw guys have been bending their wires to tweak their buzzbaits for a long time is something that has been brought over like JDM style I guess

It’s not that Flag or other smaller Japanese lure makers don’t want to market to the US, it’s too expensive for them. Not cool that companies flat out copy their products with no credit or compensation to the smaller companies. I understand there is only so much you can do design wise, but some baits are straight up knock offs.

It looks pretty good on the retrieve kind like a snake or rodent wobbling back and forth and the blade really thumps a lot. You can snap your rod and it darts around on the surface like a shad skittering but I still have the most confidence in the popping sound the Choppo has.

I have 3 of 9" nessy's on preorder . Interested to see how they fish. Seen multiple videos on them. If they truly fish how they looked in the vids. They should be really good! My 4 biggest largmouth on glide baits this year have been 9lb 3oz, 8.6 - 8.05 - 7.4. Thats just from mid June to a few weeks ago. Had an even bigger girl jump off a few weeks ago which still hurts!!! She had to be 10-11 lb range from what I could tell my seeing her jump just 12-15 feet away from the Kayak. I hope I can trick her into biting again! I've gave that spot a little break sense & will try with different glide next go around. Bass fishing has been awesome for me down here so far. Surprisingly see less kayaks than in Cincinnati area? Good for me I have most my places to myself!!!

People can bash Berkley all they want. They should ALSO research through bass lure history, and see just how many lures were based on other lures. Lunker Lure made the offset buzzbait blade, now almost everyone does it (even though Lunker Lure has the patent). Bomber had so many companies copy and modify their Model A, they didn’t care any more. Heddon INVENTED the origional topwater walking bait, the Zara Spook (look at the virtually identical copies of THAT one!). Heddon invented the hollow plastic lipless crankbait, the Sonic. There are countless attempts to repeat it. Tom Mann added scent to a curly tail worm that HE invented, the Jelly Worm. In short, if it does anything different, has any difference whatsoever, then it’s just continuation of the business history.

Ok, I am 36 minutes in. I disagree with the no new jig invasions . Look at all the jig tiers who pour, paint, and tie jig heads. Also, the hook can make a big difference in choosing the style of jig head. One newer jig head that comes to mind is a grass jig heads. Heavey wire, heavy weight, heavy wire hook.

Nessie is actually ok. The hook mechanism is great, and the 7-9” are 💣..the 5” would be good for schooling fish and just let it fall -for a while- then burn it in, should get bit on the fall (which is very slow so be patient, the bait does have its place..but for the money- I’d buy a pack of flukes for school fish. The 7”-9” are real nice, they swim great, the just kinda wrinkle and fold even when you keep them straight. The Flag is overrated. Out of the raid Osakana slide,the flag 170, and the nessie… the flag is the hardest to fish. The Osakana is 🔥 I wish there were more sizes both bigger and smaller. The ultimate swimbait in the little creeper trash fish..which is IDENTICAL to the Berkley sick fish. When they stopped making the big sick fish 5-6 years ago out came the Trash Fish. So go w berkley if you need a smaller swimbait( the sick fish) and when you want to upsize.. throw the little creeeper trash fish. That bait is super duper underrated
