buzzbait

Noisy fishing lure

A buzzbait is a topwater fishing lure with a blade that churns the surface, creating noise and splashing to attract predatory fish like bass.

The blade spins as the lure is retrieved, producing a distinctive buzzing sound.

Buzzbaits work best in murky water or low light conditions where fish hunt by sound and vibration rather than sight.
