Freshwater Spinners/BuzBait Questions

[fyremanjef]

While going through my freshwater box, I thought of a question. How do you tie on those spinners or buz baits that are famous for catching bass. Since mine do not appear to have an eye, but more of a bend where the line goes...Is it tied on directly, or with a snap swivel, etc.

Thanks

Buzz and Spinnerbaits should be tied directly to the line with a Uni or Trilene knot... Some buzzers and spinners do not have a line loop, but just a notched bend as you mentioned. That's where the knot goes. :cool:

Thanks railroader, I have never used a spinner or buzz bait, guess Im a bit intimidated as these lures are bigger than most freshwater fish that I have caught.

Well I guess the saying goes big bait big fish :)

There are few things that will give you a charge like a big ol' bucketmouth blowin' up on a buzzbait.....

Sometimes it looks like someone threw a brick in the water where your lure was.....

Very exiting, and one of my favorites for bass.:cool:

try those same buzzbaits and spinners in the salt, reds and trout like to knock the pi$$ out of them too (and sometimes even flounder).

You've certainly proven that, Ryan.
