buzz bait with trailer

AJ · October 12, 2007, 10:37:30 PM

At the garage sale I cleaned house on several weeks ago there was a box of spinner and buzz baits. Several of the buzzbaits had crankbaits on them as a trailer.... Anyone else used this setup?? He swore by them but a couple buddies of mine say BS on them. I do know that they do look pretty wicked. I did get good at just barely pulling it in like a spinnerbait just under water then bring is on plane and let fall to just under again....

what about a rattle trap instead would it work as a trailer?

have never used trailers so i dont know what cooth and not cooth

so on the hook of the buzz bait there is a crank bait? i have never heard of or seen such a thing. can you post a picture of it? this almost sounds as if it could be effective in a sense. you would need to use a shallow running crank bait for it to work right maybe 8-10" behind it. otherwise the bait would pull the buzz bait down and it would be hard to keep it on top. would like to see a picture of what you got. doug

Interesting. I can see it with some sort of leader, but attached right to the hook? Who knows, but you know what they say, whatever works.

come to think of if its been awhile since i took one out it might be a rattle trap.....when i get home tonite will look and take some pics. I worked 8 hrs yesterday tring to get a lift station running and then got called back to wastewater plant last nite with storm cell and no generators!!!! got 12 hours overtime yesterday and got home 230am and tired

I cannot advise to you one best technique but you can use my link to learn some secrets!

AJ · October 15, 2007, 07:48:58 PM

NOT THE BEST PICS BUT HERE THEY ARE AND IT WAS A RATTLE TRAP, GUESS HAD A BRAIN FART WHEN I SAID CRANK. NOTICE ONE IS MISSING FRONT HOOK, HAVE LOST 2 LIKE THAT. IF YOU SLOW YOUR RETREIVE DOWN YOU CAN KEEP JUST UNDER SURFACE AND LOOKS LIKE A SPINNERBAIT. WHAT YOU THINK???

never seen anything like that done before in my life. only way to find out is try it out. you may have let the cat out of the bag on a whole new technique. doug

AJ · October 15, 2007, 07:54:39 PM

the guy i bought them from like that said that is his goto bait by far

docav · October 15, 2007, 08:01:39 PM

the concept makes sense. it would look as if something was chasing it but it is just something unheard of till now except the guy who sold them. doug

haha u missed this part

BassHunter69 · October 15, 2007, 10:37:51 PM

i've never even seen anything like that and i've no idea how that may work but i think the concept is facinating ho shi, however i have tried something simular with soft plastic swimbaits which i'm still testing at this time but with a rat l trap i dunno all i can say is try it out let me know how it goes i'd be interested in hearing what you report on weither it worked or not and if so how it preformed might work with a floating rat l trap or other type floating bait is my honest guess.

well for bank fishing i use a hummnbird rf25 it clips right on the rod i use it pretty much not to find the fish but to look at the structure and cover since its not that grteatly detailed as a sonor finder in lets say a boat but it has helped in walking the bank.

hmmmm might have to look in to it

BassHunter69 · October 16, 2007, 12:57:48 PM

the rf 25 i bought was like 59.95 or so its worked rather well for me they have it at bass pro shops and cabelas as well as dicks sporting goods those would be the places to check out and see if its worth your time.

Has anyone ever fished them. I would think the way the trap is on there is would ruin the action

AJ · October 16, 2007, 06:03:30 PM

i have thrown one out several times and seen some nice action, have dontated one to a tree but i getting it back shortly (always carry a pole saw with me!!! haha ((not kiddin you either)) for just such a occurance.
