@@tacticalbassin when you gonna go fish South America for peacocks? And I've fished up around you guys, there are so many amazing lakes up there plus the delta, most wouldn't want to go anywhere else with the diversity of what you have to fish up there.
Never ever let it sink nor popinig it has ever worked 4 me but run it in to stuff is the trick .and dont let them get a good look at it just move on cover water.
Many many thanks for the tip on how to thumb the spool and not engage the reel when you’re throwing a buzz bait so you don’t tear up your reel Tim! Much appreciated brother!! You guys are awesome as usual!
Excellent presentation on the buzz bait. The last segment where Tim demonstates how to cast and begin retrieving the lure before it can sink will be so helpful to me. I struggle to get the lure going before it collects grass beneath it. I'll certainly cast on braid going forward. Thank you.
Thank you mat for the info about the buzz bait I was running it the wrong wrong way. I just wanted to let ya know you and your family got me back into fishing again with the right information about different lures and crank bait and how to use them. Thank you so much 👍🏽
I have em, but I've never had any confidence to throw them whatsoever. I think my problem is I bought them back when I didn't have a clue, so the few times I used them I was wasting my time. Thanks for getting the wheels turning again, Tim. I might be able to make these work now.
Bro I hit like on every video before I’m even 10 seconds into it. I love these informative videos. Appreciate what y’all do...much love from Alabama fellas.
Cavitron is my personal favorite. It far out performs all other buzzbaits I have. Black is my favorite and I always throw some sort of trailer on there. Usually a double tail grub.
I’m only an amateur bass fisherman but really want to try some buzz baits I think I’ll invest in one since bass pro shops is 10 minutes away here in Tampa haha great video thanks
Caught my PB largemouth on a buzzbait just the other day! It was 3 lbs. I'm from Montana where the state record is only 8.8 lbs lol so a 3 pounder is pretty decent I guess! I'm excited to break my goal of a 5 pounder. I'm hoping I can get that done this year, so I can start travelling more and pull a 10 pounder out from somewhere some day! But for now I'm focusing on a 5. I hear there is a good population of largemouth in a lake a couple hours away from me. I can't wait to get there and do some bassin!
Funny story...the first buzzbait I ever saw, I found hanging in a tree. I didn't realize it was a topwater. I fished it for a couple months like a spinnerbait.....and caught several fish like that!!! lol till my uncle saw me slow rolling it and told me how I was supposed to fish it. That's my best buzzbait story. wow the good ole days...lol
You guys should an everything you need to know about Carolina Rigs again. It's a technique I'm looking to get into but I don't know when and where to throw. I'm hoping it would help me with my high-school tournaments
Great video guys. I was hoping for a section about tuning them especially after a bass destroys one. I can't seem to get it to run exactly the way I want to afterwards. Hope to see a future video about it. Thanks.
Great vid, I've been throwing the buzz all summer and it's getting the job done! I def. need to check out the plastic finesse buzz as that reg. buzz bait dies off quick in the day and the more finesse approach may help me extend it a bit.
What’s up Matt and Tim! Unrelated to this video but wondering your guys’ opinion on switching out bearings on a bait caster, specifically a Shimano Citica 200HG. I know it’s not the top of the line by any means, but as a 23 year old I’m working with what I have. I see a lot of people trying out these ceramic bearing from companies like Spool Speed and Boca and I cannot find an honest review. What would you guys suggest? Keep what I have or do a slight upgrade and switch out the bearings? Thanks you guys!
How do you keep a buzzbait from laying over on its side during the retrieve? I’ve noticed every time I fish a frog or swimbait on it they want to lay over.
Another great video as always. I know you guys love to throw frogs when you can. My question is when would the buzzbait be the preference instead of a frog...Cause that grass you are sitting on looks like perfect popping frog or teckle frog spot to me👀
Great video Tim! I have a question though, how do you store your buzzbaits? I'm a bank fisherman and usually carry a backpack, but I'm going to be getting a kayak soon (Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 13) and storage is at a premium. Thanks again!
Great video Tim. Wish I would have thought about a buzz bait when I was on the water yesterday. Conditions exactly like you described. My Whopper Plopper kept collecting the grass so I went to a Teckel Sprinker frog. Got at least 15 bites but did not boat a single fish. You think you or Matt could do a video on fishing one of those. I would love to know what I was doing wrong.
Glad y'all put this out. I have been struggling a bit with the buzzbait. When you can. Can you show how a trailer hook goes on? I don't know if I am doing it the right way.
There is a video on TH-cam with KVD talking about spinnerbaits , he had a camera on the shore, he cast towards the camera, and you can see what Tim is talking about doing, the bait enters the water with just a very small splash. Also in TacticalBassin frog fishing videos you sometimes see the same thing,
Really started to pick up the buzz bait this year. I never had confidence in them until I forced myself to fish em until I started catching. Now they are a strong go to in my box. My favorite thing to do with them is to tick the cover, just enough to mess the action up for a second, seems like the most aggressive strikes come from doing that!
Jake kroger Give the rod a little tap once in a while if they won’t commit, like when fishing a spinnerbait or a swimbait. Works well over submerged grass if you have nothing to deflect off of. Some days it can make a big difference
I'm a lefty but my first baitcaster was right handed, so I've never known any other way, I don't switch hands. Left handed for spinning, right handed for baitcaster. It's only weird when I stop to think about it haha
"On Foot" Bassin' they said if the dangling treble hooks are catching the grass below then the buzz will go over the top better. If the grass isn't a problem then you can try both
Love the videos, best content on the internet. Have you guys ever tried SixGill rods? They have a BOGO sale and I'm really interested in it, but I've also heard good things about Enigma rods as well. I'm a big fan of supporting and buying brands that arent the big names, and supporting those companies, but with that comes hesitation. I'm looking for a combo that I can throw pretty much anything with becuase I only have about $200 to spend. Any input on either of those brands? Or advice on the best baitcast/rod for around $200? I saw the video on the Shimano SLX and St. Croix Bass X, and am heavily debating those as well.
Okay so I gotta figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’ve ALWAYS JUST DECIDED TO NOT to even touch the buzzbait because every time I bring it in, it run on its side so I’ve just never taken the time to learn to tune but I need this in the tool bag. What am I doing wrong?
Just picked up a jackall firecracker 3/8! I had a zoom toed on because I thought it made the bait roll on its side. So took it off and it’s still laying down in the water?
I have a question, I just started using buzzbaits I bought three different manufacturers, no matter how I tie in on during the retrieve all three lay on there side with the blade and the trailer on top of the water.
Wish you would show this technique on a spinning rod. As a beginner angler, I don't own a bait caster and you were talking about making sure you don't do something with the gears?
@Cerus98 it might just be that he's new to fishing and so far has only bought spinning set-ups. Sometimes going out and buying a bunch of different rods and reels just isnt in the budget. However, you are right that even beginners CAN use a baitcaster- just requires a little bit of practice
@Cerus98 Yea I was in a rush and late for work so I was trying to word it different but ran out of time. As a beginner the main thing that I'm trying to do is to keep cost low. Right now I don't need 8 different rod and reels. One day I hope to have a rod and reel for my crank baits, one for my frogs ( just brought my first three and cant wait to try. Been insanely how here) etc. Right now I just own a spinning reel combo that I got from Academy Sports.
Stupid question. Do bass sit in that grass that you showed in the video? I’m a boatless angler and I fish in a place that looks just like that and never seem to catch a fish in that stuff.
If anyone here can help: Is there a preferred line to tie to the buzzbait? I am almost always using braid as my main line and it seems like the line is getting tangled up in the prop or the wire of the lure. Do you guys use a leader like mono or fluro? I'd hazard a guess and say mono since fluro sinks and you don't want that on a topwater lure. Thanks!
I'm having trouble preventing a buzzbait from running on its side(not veering to the right or left, but actually laying on the side while running). It's infuriating. I try fast reels, slow reels, large blades, small blades, counter-rotating blades, with a skirt, without a skirt, frog trailer, swimbait trailer, creature trailer, no trailer, bending the wire in all kinds of different ways. NOTHING works other than running it SO SLOW that it almost sinks. There has GOT to be some kind of secret to tuning these things. Please help!!!
I need some help with Braided line I just put some in my baitcaster for the first time and it breaks off super easy even just casting it will make the line break and idk why can anyone tell me why it would be doing this I’m tieing the line right to the hook or frog and lures. Please help
Don't buy cheap braid like Power Pro! It Fraze really easy and loses it color very quickly. I switched to Suffix 832 green moss 30 pound braid. It is strong holds color really well. Then make sure if your lines bury in to the reel. Using needle nose pliers bends the braid and Fraze it also which causes breakages. Not setting your reel properly or your line wrapping around the in of your rod. Will snap the braid too. Use a Palmor knot. Hope this helps you out! Shawn.
He mentioned that in the video but basically it boils down to buzzbaits being better over grass that is right under the surface ( vs. a whopper plopper, etc with belly trebles) and certain buzzbaits are able to be skipped which a whopper plopper or other surface bait cannot.
Is it me or do they only fish on Clear Lake?
Definitely you... since April we have fished Canada's Far North Arctic, Mexico, Alaska, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Florida... assuming I didn't forget any... not kidding.

I absolutely love me some buzz bait fishing! Caught some giants on those lures!
I love fishing a buzz bait
Sometimes I fish it just for the sound and to bring in the fish. Love the sound of a buzz bait
Another great video Tim ! I will be making a Basic Tuning Tutorial Video for our Double Buzzbaits here very soon ! Thanks for the love and support !
Could you do a video of how you know when you got a bite? I've heard that you can "feel" it. If I'm not looking at a bobber, idk how to tell
Many many thanks for the tip on how to thumb the spool and not engage the reel when you’re throwing a buzz bait so you don’t tear up your reel Tim! Much appreciated brother!! You guys are awesome as usual!

Love buzzbaits! Caught my PB on a black one down in Georgia.
A buzzbait is one of my go to's for topwater! That trailer hook helps with the hookup ratio
I honestly don’t know how y’all don’t have more subs. Extremely informative videos
Jerry Thomas wtf is y’all and snowflakes? It’s a southern term and I’m way older than a snowflake but good job keyboard warrior
That casting tip is $$! Killer for a Buzzbait!
Thank you mat for the info about the buzz bait I was running it the wrong wrong way. I just wanted to let ya know you and your family got me back into fishing again with the right information about different lures and crank bait and how to use them. Thank you so much 👍🏽
Thank you on the tip when casting a buzz bait keep up the good work
Favorite buzzbait is the Strike king banshee series(black and blue). Super cheap at $5 and squeals like hell and they love it.
I have em, but I've never had any confidence to throw them whatsoever. I think my problem is I bought them back when I didn't have a clue, so the few times I used them I was wasting my time. Thanks for getting the wheels turning again, Tim. I might be able to make these work now.
Scott T Pea they’re awesome man, they kill fish in Ohio it’s a blast.
Great info mate. Buzzbaits aren’t really used here in Australia but they might work awesome. I need to try it. Tight Lines mate
If buzzbaits are not used in Australia then the first anglers to employ them should clean up
d rouse yeah I probably would
Buzz baits are defiantly used here in Australia, they kill on the Murray cod and bass
beetle p ok cool mate. I know they aren’t used here in Queensland where I am but they could be around other places
Fishing with Elyon yeah no they are I’m from qld hahah tt lures have one and so do many other brands
WOW just like all of Tackle videos, that is truly everything you need to know,Great job Tim 👊👊👍👍

Awesome thanks for the tips Lee them coming. Have learned a lot off of this channel. Tight lines
right on time! plan to throw some buzzbaits this weekend!
Love the vids learn so much from y’all, like how there’s WATER just a few inches under the surface
Cavitron is my personal favorite. It far out performs all other buzzbaits I have. Black is my favorite and I always throw some sort of trailer on there. Usually a double tail grub.
Underrated buzzbaits imo are- Lunker lure, Terminator, Megastrike.
I’m only an amateur bass fisherman but really want to try some buzz baits I think I’ll invest in one since bass pro shops is 10 minutes away here in Tampa haha great video thanks

When I fish buzzbaits I fish a double buzz almost exclusively because I caught a lot more bass and bigger bass on them versus single bladed ones.
most underrated bait for bass

Awesome video I haven't been using buzzbait this summer been to worried about frog fishing
That's why I like having a left hand reel and so I don't have to transfer hands
I’m the same way I hate changing hands
Same
Good Morning fishing community!! These guys have an amazing TH-cam channel! They have put out some great content over the years.

i use buzzbait for giant snakehead here in malaysia. great tips
good job, thank you for the info Tim
I’m a simple man, when I see a Tactical Bassin video I stop what I’m doing and watch it on full volume no matter where I am. Lol
1:52 “Finesse” dayum Tim. 😂😂 you can’t be serious. 😂😂

How do you keep a buzzbait from laying over on its side during the retrieve? I’ve noticed every time I fish a frog or swimbait on it they want to lay over.
I feel like that may have to do with either how the rod is held or the knot placement
good video!! can you guys do a scrounger bait video??
Thanks I was thinking of using a buzz bait when should I use it
Great VLOG Tim. You guys are awesome. Keep up the good work. And this bait i really dont throw this. I guess i need to.
Cavitron is good as well i need to try the plastic and dual buzz. Thanks.
1 st bass on it just destroyed the cavitron ... it was a 2 pounds bass .... :/
Awesome! Matt's bass at 11:50 tho!!!🤘
Another great video as always. I know you guys love to throw frogs when you can. My question is when would the buzzbait be the preference instead of a frog...Cause that grass you are sitting on looks like perfect popping frog or teckle frog spot to me👀
jim corbett I don’t even use frogs anymore unless the cover is so damn thick I can’t even get a buzz to run thru it
Great video Tim! I have a question though, how do you store your buzzbaits? I'm a bank fisherman and usually carry a backpack, but I'm going to be getting a kayak soon (Native Watercraft Slayer Propel 13) and storage is at a premium. Thanks again!
Plaino makes a spinnerbait/buzzbait box that is awesome.
Honestly you can never go wrong with just putting them in a Walmart bag with something covering the hook like foam that’s what I do
Tim - How did you remove the clacker on the D&M Buzzbait? Great video!
great video I know what I am doing after work
Great video !! Big fan..

Been meaning to invest in some buzzbaits!

Put the trailer hook on first then the stopper that way the trailer hook can swing freely.

Buzzbait vs Whopper Plopper? Besides one being virtually weedless, I'm not sure whether one is better than the other?
Another tip to engage the handle faster: learn to use left handed reels :D
Switched all my reels over to left handed retrieve, made a huge difference! Especially with pitching/flipping.
@@cagideon For us lefties....
we been doing that for ages. haha
@@ballzybaits4414 lol, fair enough! I'm just stubborn and stuck in my ways 😉
Always used left hand until I ordered a righty on accident with no refund... now I am forced to be ambidextrous

Hey Tim and Matt, thanks for the video! Anyway, when exactly would you choose a whopper plopper vs a buzz bait and vice versa? Thanks in advance.
"On Foot" Bassin' they said if the dangling treble hooks are catching the grass below then the buzz will go over the top better. If the grass isn't a problem then you can try both
When their matabalizim is high wind blown banks 3 days before and after full moon or good deeper cover dead stickin 2 bring them up.
Hey what’s best for bank fishing in terms of clackers? Should it be silent?
Whopper Plopper or a Double bladed buzz bait or a Devil's Horse use at least 30 pound braid on your spinning reel or baitcaster reel.
Great info! Ty!
Tim you need to tell people how to set the hook with a buzzbait.
Do you ever fish it without a trailer?
I like the Teckel Maxqueaker and the Jamaica Boa
Love the videos, best content on the internet. Have you guys ever tried SixGill rods? They have a BOGO sale and I'm really interested in it, but I've also heard good things about Enigma rods as well.

Good news! D&M came out with that buzz bait without the clacker, on tackle warehouse
Do a casting different types of bait slinging for bait casters please
On a double buzz I like to squeeze the blades together so they touch and make a lot of noise.
Where are you buying or r you making your own double buzz ? I've been having a hard time finding them !
