Double buzz

[ikeslayer]

I have a question as to what the advantage is to a double buzzer buzz bait as apposed to a single buzz. i have never used a double just single and i was wondering if i was missing out. thanks

Ike-

I double buzz will put off more vibration and more bubbles and more sound. You can also usually retrieve a double buzz slower than a single and still keep it at a speed that keeps it above the waters surface. Lastly, a double buzz will run straight. A single buzz do to the turning of the blade will often run back to the boat in a curve. This however, is not always bad. A bait that runs back the boat at an agle is often easier to run into cover, and can trigger bites.

Should you have a few double buzz in your tackle box?.. Sure.. why not? I have deffinatly had days when a double buzz out produced a single buzz... I have also had the vice versa happen as well!

Ive only had luck with double buzzes. But I only started throwing buzz baits just last year. First time using them was on the St Croix in the spring around flooded timber. Caugt several little smallies, had a nice walleye follow it out of some brush to the boat and missed two big unidentifiable fish.

What situations/locations are good for buzzbaits? I only caught one little bass on a buzz after that day on the river.

Like Deitz said, doubles can be retrieved slower than singles. If you are going to try doubles, look for a brand called Accent, they have foam floats on each wire, behind the blades. I can retrieve these buzzers slower than anything I have ever tossed. Remember though, on buzzers slow is not always a good thing...

Hay Deitz... just got back from Kearney Neb. doing the Cabela's spring show. They have been fishing soft water for over one month, the sand pits are at 46 degrees and they are sticking bass... do you think Tony would call and tell me to bring some rods... no!!!!

Agape-the jerk!!!! I think I guided Tony on Mille Lacs last year.. nice guy!.. We tied into some serious smallies!.. wish I would have known you were going I would have sent my "hello" to him!

I'm working cabelas this comming weekend! In owatonna!

you can use a double buzzbait pretty much anywhere you would throw a single buzz. I've had good luck with them in the pads and along reedbanks where there is a little drop to about 5 or more ft of the edge of them. Buzzbaits are very fun to use, and have a history of catching some very nice fish. I'd definaltey give the double buzz a try this upcoming season, you can never have to many things in you arsenal!

Guys--

also try drilling some small holes into the blades...it adds to the noise and the bubble trail that iscreated can drive the bass crazy....i first tried the buzz-b-2down in texas on lake fork...man did it drive the bass crazy, and the bass of minnesota love it as well. I like using the black colors very early in the morning, and then i throw white or white/chartruese later in the day.

Deitz- That was Tony, I think. He was on Mille Lacs last year and said they had some nice fish. I think it was two days and rough weather one day? Your right nice guy... I think Cabela's is about to loose him, he's number one on the list for Keanary P.D. hope he gets it...
