Exposing ALL of my Buzz Bait Secrets - Jacob Wheeler

Exposing ALL of my Buzz Bait Secrets finally on video! I've been asked a lot for this one so I hope you enjoy and maybe learn a thing or two. I dive into some of the things I do EVERY time I use a buzz bait and some things that can help you catch more fish on one of the best Topwater's in the world. How to customize your buzz bait for different situations and how to hack my own Custom Accent spinnerbait to use a frog instead of a skirt.

Just caught my first buzzbait fish in geist reservoir. I'm addicted now lol

[@rlsoutdoors997]

Ain’t nothing like it is there!!!

[@matthewmorris6687]

I really like the small lessons on how to properly use different baits and different ways to rig em. Thanks Wheeler!

[@vinnylivoti9567]

Solid tips Jacob. Tow things I would add is one crimp the rivet behind the blade so it does not move and changes the sound. Second add a trailer hook.

[@cartyjames7753]

Thanks so much for demo on rigging that frog!!!! Very informative

[@addamoliver]

outstanding tip. can’t wait to go next time and try it out

[@mikebailey2119]

Jacob, thanks for the video. I especially like the tip about making the the head of the spinnerbait thinner so the hook can be farther back.🐟🎣

[@shawndaniels1454]

Dude I enjoyed the heck out of that,, thank you so much for those tips,, I have fished a toad on my buzzbait for years but never thought once bout doing that and I have had so many misses cuz,, well legs were to far back,, I truly appreciate it when the pro's are willing to take the time to give advise and tips cuz I know you all are super busy but it shows it's more about the sport and keeping it going than it is about the money,, don't get me wrong money is important but not as important as this great sport of fishing is,, so again thanks

[@larrymoss9954]

I enjoy hearing the subtle adjustments various Pros make specifically on buzzers. I’m always ready to make slight adjustments in my lure when the bass tells me what mood the bass are in. But then isn’t that with any bait.

[@slayerstacker2074]

I hit thumbs up before I even watch The video. Your videos are just that good Jacob. You are the GREATEST BASS FISHERMAN OF ALL TIME.

[@jimmywallhanger8402]

Slow down.

[@slayerstacker2074]

@jimmywallhanger8402 Well, can I at least say he is the greatest MLF fisherman of all time ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@BWOUTDOORS]

great video J.W.THANKS .

[@brucecrosby8552]

Jacob, another great video! Thanks!

[@prestonmire5509]

Awesome 😎 video I caught a 3 pounder today on a buzz bait frog

[@E.C.Everett]

Great video Jacob I loved the content, learned alot, thanks

[@360Fishing]

Do the same thing with the ol cheap-po buzzbaits at academy. Buy a hand full and rip all the skirts off and put creatures on them to match the colors.

[@tomgorsulowsky5572]

Fishing with your buzz bait yesterday had a huge one suck it down, missed it and came back to get it. Squeaks great. Thank you for great information

[@johncloud2851]

I have been absolutely killin 'em for the past month with the old school white buzzbait w/skirt no trailer.

[@edpelkey7798]

Buzzbait tips from the master thank you! I love your accent buzzbaits, I also like to take the pliers and alter the shape of the flat side of the rivet.

[@clintwilliams3096]

Great content to go back and reflect on. Thanks JW

[@mikenolan6562]

Your wisdom sharing is greatly appreciated!

[@southernoutdoors501]

Love watching your videos. Ive learned so much from watching them. Keep them coming!

[@Bankfishindude]

Just got my first Duckett rob and reel and it’s a game changer man! Tight lines

[@ni.gel_the_rookie_angler4645]

I look forward to everything you vlog. THANK YOU💪🏽🎣😎

[@bradleyrussell1973]

My go-to secret during the bluegill spawn is a green pumpkin buzz on sunny days, black any other time. Bass will maul it in 6” of water in the June sun, or over 30’ in crystal-clear water in December. One of the all-time greatest inventions in fishing lures, second probably only to the crankbait (plug, in the day).

[@rogerglasco5941]

Great video as always. JW, your the best.

[@stevenharpenau162]

Great video I learned a lot .Thank you

[@RealMitchRapp]

See now… this is exactly the kind of crap that gets me out in the garage at 10:30 at night! Love it J-Wheels! I just so happen to be going out tomorrow morning and here in Maine… that topwater is about to pop off. Thanks

[@Byoung85]

Great video, thanks for sharing

[@raystickel-tackleid891]

Great tips Jacob, keep 'em coming!

[@timroberts896]

Love buzzbait fishing!! Great tips!! Thanks and best of luck to you!!

[@burdettehoeppner1062]

Awesome idea im going to set up some of my buzzbaIts with bandito bug and toad.keep making these videos they will help us catch more bass.

[@jimk4267]

That rod is awesome for night-time smallies. Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. I switched to 15 lb. Advance Fluoro for a little more stretch...way fewer lost fish. It is a great rod

[@thomasjohnston7896]

Thank you so much for making this video, the buzz bait is by far my favorite lure, have caught many biggins on it

[@BillQuick-qo6lp]

Bad ass content Jacob, as always!

[@normanham8566]

Love buzzbaits! First time I threw one, I caught a bass on first cast. Got a 7.26 lb largemouth just three weeks ago on a Strike King Bleeding Buzzbait in black & red, no skirt, a Zoom 8” Lizard in a Junebug/red flake as a trailer. Rolling it over lay downs w/steady retrieve and the toilet flushed! I’ve never tried the toad trailer yet, but I will. Try a lizard trailer. It seems to work well.

[@erniesanders3724]

Great tips JW. Can't wait to try these. Thanks again from Western Kentucky.

[@laramybohn1730]

My favorite bait….. hands down👍🏻

[@unpluggedfishing7751]

Love your videos man!!!!

[@Budget_bassin]

Awesome information! Thank you.

[@WheelerFishing]

Of course!

[@John-jc1ig]

Love your channel. Even though i’m a Clanton, Al boy, You just broke the tie between you and DC! I love that you take the time for a few simple technique lessons. ( Don’t tell DC, I’d hate to hurt his feelings, you know how sensitive he is!)

[@mpd0273]

Great information. Im working on improving my skills with buzz baits.

[@DatGuy960]

Great content! Moved to Florida and this helps a lot. Got any crankbait videos? Need a new set up.

[@marlondeere3039R]

Have not seen that Accent buzz at Academy yet come on Jacob getter done.

[@nathangutierrez7750]

Same about topwater feeding my Bass addiction 😁

[@lstaples007]

I have a couple of your accent buzzers still in the pkg... I haven't took them out yet cuz I just didn't have confidence in the buzz bait but the tips help for sure... I just need to tie it on and give it a go. Thx man

[@bkbaitsal4389]

I use my oscillating saw with sanding attachment and round off the head. Works great. 80 grit

[@manofthehour1983]

Thats a very good case for why you should always have a soft plastic trailer however i did catch a 5.5 the other night on the buzzbait that wouldve missed it if i didnt have a trailer hook

[@kennethdennis9335]

AWESOME TIPS!! This is why you are the best out there!! :-)

[@taylormoore4991]

Learned a lot. Thankyou

[@joeyengle7286]

You should do one of these on crank baits be super helpful

[@calebriemer8763]

Awesome tips and tricks!

[@davidcloyd1296]

Cool deal , thanks

[@frozencardz403]

Love your channel homie

[@dougpittman5714]

Amen, Tennessee Native.

[@dudeonthebass]

Put on that big game son

[@ziggyblue782]

Great video! Thanks for the tips.

[@stevenharpenau162]

Great video!!

[@rlsoutdoors997]

I’ve used just the krackin craw itself as a Buzzbait burning it across topwater real fast… caught my best bass of the summer doing it like that to be honest!!! Got the proof too!!!

[@tristanbramblett2973]

Great video! Lots of good information there

[@fiveobob]

lots of value, Thanks

[@connermerritt4469]

awesome jacob i fish your rods religiously, congrats on your last durby man!

[@andrewdilling2491]

Good stuff bro!! Do a flipping video! What knot you use depending on which line.. What type of line for different water clarity.. Weigh size.. bait style.. Would really like to know when you think it is or isn’t good to use braid when flipping. Personally, I’m in Oklahoma flipping buck brush and lay downs mostly. What would be your ideal setup for that situation? Thanks dude keep killin it!

[@davidcloyd1296]

Thanks buddy

[@paulb351]

Love the tips & how to videos Thank you

[@tennesseenative2043]

Dude I guess you don't know so I'll tell ya. Any piece of information that a fisherman of your caliber gives out to help us is greatly appreciated.

[@taysonhathorn3273]

This is a great buzzbait rod, but if you night fish this is a great for for a big black spinnerbait.🎣

[@benbrownlow5007]

Good stuff as always JDub

[@Cody27Boyd]

Good info thank you!

[@billycarson3408]

Love the content, keep it up sir!

[@firstcallout5836]

Jacob, I'm a huge fan of yours and wish you continued success. One question - any reason for a trailer hook on buzz baits?

[@briggs13a]

Thanks ,you remind everyone of some guy they once knew but can’t put their finger on it.LOL

[@jamierice3189]

Fish ponds and my number 1 go to bait is your accent buzzbait right out of the package.. caught my biggest so far this year a 4 2.. what an explosion.... unreal...

[@hunterm7327]

I caught my first bass on a buzz bait yesterday morning, it was about a pound and this morning I caught a freaking3-1/2 pounder out of an old pond that no one likes fishing anymore because you have to walk through the woods to get there!

[@jett70710]

You always have good content, sonny jim! If we are talking algorithms, you should find out what deadbeat clicked the one thumbs down and give them a talking to! 😂

[@tonyparsley641]

Great quality

[@prideNwinning12]

Buzz KING

[@jacksonhowell7395]

i just caught my pb on a black buzz bait. 4lb from a small pond

[@kirkreusch8415]

Jacob, couldn’t you just take a course file and reshape/remove some of the lead head? Lead should shape really easily and quickly. Love the content.

[@Pecanhead]

Pure genius. Heres the issue if u wanna call it one. Jacob you cost me another hundo at academy. But on the plus side I kill them here in south Houston. Keep them coming.

[@FishingWithMikeJr]

thanks for the vid 💪🏽

[@jasonstanley5818]

Great video sir! Thanks for the insight. Hey when you cut down that head (assuming it’s lead) please don’t put it in your mouth!

[@251reeling9]

Been waiting on this one.

[@retflo2583]

Dig it!

[@nickcavazos5718]

I like a thicker wire anyway just bc more surface area for the blade to squeal

[@leonwhitley5506]

Jacob, do you, or anyone else that reads this, ever have an issue with braid slipping down to the head of the buzz bait. Had it happen to me not long ago on a big bass. Never had it happen on fluorocarbon.

[@matt.denney]

Use a knot that doubles through the "eye" like a palomar and it should help fix this. I actually prefer a San Diego jam knot, but for spinnerbaits and buzz baits I just double the line around the "eye" first before tying the rest of the knot. Braid is slippery enough that it doesn't affect how well it cinches down and it gives the knot a little extra grip on the wire.

[@stevenyang7054]

Is it just be or does Jacob wheeler have gigantor hands??!! Lol big hands, big bass??

[@chadtindell4388]

Love it!!

[@konnerholt6838]

Hey Jacob, I love throwing buzzbait too but I use your signature series 7’ 3” heavy action for it. I actually caught a four pound large mouth on it !

[@PunchFishing]

good stuff!

[@davidrhea7619]

Hey Jacob, what do you use to store your buzz baits?

[@timkirby4318]

Hey Jacob what kind of frog do you like to put on your buzz bait

[@jasongolightly200]

I thought it had to be up top Splash in the water but you were pulling it slow underwater is that correct

[@Tracyspellenberg]

Jacob you never did answer me what is your favorite flip flop? LOL

[@briannichols9680]

my favorite buzzbait just catches them.

[@petecook1611]

How bout designing a buzzbait instead of lead head just a double barb keeper just for toads?? The road will give u the weight and it would eleminate shaving that head. Just a thought JDUBB! I already fish my buzzbait like this have for yrs but good video for those that don't know. Idea for new video...go to new lake u never been to and describe how u would start that day, tell why u make every decision u make, if u graph any show your graph if your fishing docks tell why u chose docks over offshore or blowdowns etc..might be a longer video but I promise u I'll watch every min and everyone else will also.just an idea because it's all about decisions and I think guys want to see this. No editing raw footage of every cast, every decision, every fish etc

[@yakin_n_bassin8203]

My buzzbaits keeps turning on its side... I always thought there wasn't enuff weight to help right itself... wouldn't trimming some of the head off exacerbate this prob?

[@jimcorson9377]

Hey Jacob, when throwing the buzzbait/BuzzToad, do you throw it in open water or do you throw it right up into the slop? I live in florida, so lots of emergent grass/slop in shallow.

[@trextrextrex]

Throw it everywhere Caught em on buzzbait on bare banks

[@WesleyKennedy]

Any alternative rigging techniques aside from licking freshly cut lead?

[@chidrummer1]

Thank you foe the amazing help. Best video on buzzbaits I have seen. Very informative especially with the horny toad process

[@Josh-ni9xk]

Thanks for the great video! I wouldn't recommend putting fresh cut lead in your mouth though. We wanna still be getting your fishin tips when you're 80. Lol

[@allstaralex0776]

How do you decide which one to throw?
