Chart/blue/white skirt on a spinnerbaitDetails:
I bought this a few weeks ago and I'm having trouble retrieving it properly. If I try to burn it on the top of the water it is very inconsistent as far as if the blade spins or makes noise. If I slow/moderate roll it just beneath the surface or 2 feet under it runs just like a normal spinnerbait. My point of buying it was to get the noise of a buzzbait on the surface though and I can't seem to get it to run true on service. Any tips?Answers
A:
Tie on the bait in a different location, follow tips on package and go with a 6-1 ration reel or 6-3A:
If the tip of your rod is vibrating, you can be sure you have it rigged correctly. I've not had any trouble and both Bass & Pike go crazy. I've not used it as a top water bait.A:
You can run this bait just under the surface and get a pretty good chatter out of it. I love this bait and have one tied on year round. I bring it back just under the surface where the blade starts making a nice wake and if you slowly bring your rod tip up it will raise the bait just a touch more and you should get a the chatter noise. Its not as loud as a buzz bait, but it definitley puts out a unique noise. Also ever now and then when i am bring it back, i will give it a jerk to give a little splash at the top. Great bait just give it a chance. I catch a lot of bass with it when i am on the lakes and a lot of pike when i am on the river. Its just a great all around bait.A:
Try holding your rod tip up. I found it easy to get it to act buzzbait while while doing this. There is a sweet spot tho. Experiment with retrieval speed and rod tip height. I hope this helps. It works for me.A:
Been using this for as long as I can remember. You have to practice some with it as it is very touchy when running topwater. DON'T give up!!! Use a reel with a higher line gear ratio and a braided line so it does not stretch helps too. Good Luck. (bending the lower arm so it runs up faster helps too.)A:
I had the same problem until I switched to a reel with a ratio higher than 6:1 and hold the rod tip at 1 o'clock position.

While it is a unique spinbait with a lot of thump, I don't think it will win many awards as a buzzbait look-alike, or sound-alike.It is hard to get it to stay at the right depth for buzzin'. Best I have been able to do, is hold my rod tip at 11 o'clock until the lure surfaces and crank at a moderate speed. If you want real buzzin' live action, go back to the real thing.

Yeah......BPS probably shouldn't promote this as a buzzbait, tho it can be fished that way. It's pretty tough to get them chop across the top unless you're pulling it at mach 1. They're much better served as a spinnerbait, which they work awesome as.1 of 1
