MuskyBug85 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I was just checking out the Fishing Minnesota tackle store and notice that they have a product call the Wave Buster, it looks just like the Ice Buster but it has a weighted base, looks like it could be amazing in the wind. Has any one used any of these guys? they look like they could be really nice for slippin' eyes in the wind. Jonah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Johnson Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Today's Tackle makes the Wave Buster Bobber. The beauty of the Wave Buster is that it's weighted for long-casting. The design is narrow and the way it's weighted really allows you to cast this baby a good distance. And it has all the same great features of the Ice Buster, where you can cut it down to match any situation/presentation. And, it also literally "busts" (cuts) through the waves. This happens because your line stays under the water and it's perfectly balanced, so the wind can't grab your line and pull it across the surface of the water. I use the Wave Buster for just about every species when targeting them with a slip-bobber. Ice Buster's in the winter, and Wave Buster's in the summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 They work great at night as well. Just poke a hole in the end and shove a small cylume stick in there. Walla!!! Your set for the evening bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Wagenbach Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 The Wave Buster Bobbers work great! They also cast well and do not break easily! Cliff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnUpTheFishing Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 In the past several years the only time I have used a regular bobber was when I didnt have a wave/ice buster with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 They work great. I like the fact they can be taken off easily when I want to jig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Duckslayer Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Just tried to order a couple packs and the web site said that my card number was invalid. Humph... guess I will have to get them elsewhere and I know my card is good. Do any stores carry them? Thanks././Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slyster Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I imagine that wave busters would even out the lure so it doesn't bob up and down with the waves? Is this a good thing? I figured that wave action is doing the jigging for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Mosher Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I like to have alittle action from the Waves. If it's really windy I use a 1/8th oz jig (it really casts great with a 1/16oz or 1/8thoz jig) and if it's not so windy I use a 1/16oz jig with a leech or minnow. If you're targeting Panfish in the shallows this spring I set up 2 stop knots about 1/2" apart and up from the little tube jig or feather jig about 2'. Then I snap on the Wave Buster Bobber and I'm ready to go! The reason for the 2 stop knots is that the bobber is then "pegged" at the specific depth you choose. If I'm using a 1/64 oz jig and the bobber is a couple feet above it I can reel in a few feet and then let the small jig slowly drift back into place, reel a few more feet etc. One more thing, you can still trim it down to make it more sensitive to the bite! Any more questions please let me know! Thanks, Bruce Mosher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
