Buzzbait Fishing Lures

Buzzbait fishing lures is similar to spinnerbait except that it has propeller type device on the upper arm instead of a spinner blade which rotates very quickly when retrieved. Buzz Baits tend to create more attention then most spinners and spoons. Work best when anglers retrieved it fast enough for the propeller to actually break the surface of the water. They tend to create enough "Buzz" that simply makes the lure irresistible for many fish. Their main purpose is to create attention and then tease enough that fish cannot help, but to take the bait. These preferred top water lures allow the angler to cover water faster than most top water lures.

Spinnerbait Fishing Lures

Booyah Spinnerbait

Spinnerbait is a wire with a loop in its middle and the arms bent into V-shaped. At the end of top arm is a spinner blade same as what we found on spinners. At the end of the bottom arm is a hook, usually with a lead head for weight and adorned with a skirt for fish attracting device. The hook point rides up which resist snagging in weeds better than any other lures. The popular technique is to retrieve the spinnerbait so that it rides just under the surface, creating a bulge in the surface tension. The combination of noise and flash created by spinner blade and the color and motion of the skirt on the bottom arm resembles the large baitfish which provokes predator fish into striking.

Spinners and Spoons Lures

Classic Spinners and Red/White Spoon

Spinners and Spoon can also be categorized under top water lures. They both imitate baitfish (for the most part) and quite effective as other fishing lures.

Spinners Lures

When spinners is retrieved, the blade spins around the body of the spinner at a very fast rate emitting a great amount of vibration and flash mush like a baitfish in distress. Different shapes and thickness of the blades determine the rate of speed of the blade and how far away from the shaft it spins. Basically there are two types preferable for moving water and still water use. Spinners are best to use and excel in a stream. Spinners start spinning as soon as they hit the water because of the current. Angler can stand in one spot and fish the spinner throughout the water column downstream or upstream; pausing the retrieve in the area that may hold a fish may ensure a good strike. Reel just quickly enough to spin the blade while steering the spinner with your rod tip.

Spoon Lures

Are thin, rounded piece of metal. Spoons are also called wobblers for their side to side movement in the water when retrieved. The spoon design reflects a lot of light and flashes brightly in the water when retrieved imitating a fleeing or distressed baitfish. Spoons cast easily and accurately because of their density. They cut right through any wind present and can travel a good distance through the air. This weight allows spoon to sink to the bottom quickly although they can be fished at any depth.
