A buzzbait is designed to run on top of the water with a fixed 2 or 3 blade "propeller" a spinner bait can be fished at pretty much any depth and has a single blade attached to a swivel that will allow it to spin 360 degrees so it will create a metallic flash under the water imitating the silver scales of a fleeing baitfish. A buzzbait relies more on sound thus the name "Buzz" bait.
