SKU: BBEB38-STRIKE KING
Overview
Built for topwater presentations, this buzzbait is designed to draw attention with a blade that produces a gurgle-type sound and leaves a bubble trail across the surface. The exclusive grass cone is intended to help keep the blade clear of obstructions, making it a practical choice around cover and vegetation. A long shank hook provides extra space between the point and the blade for improved hook-up potential, while the smaller-profile design and bleeding accent skirt give it a distinct presentation. It suits anglers looking for a surface bait that combines noise, visibility, and cover-friendly features in one package.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The blade holes are designed to create a gurgle-style sound and bubble trail, which may be more specialized than a quieter topwater presentation.
- The Grass Cone is intended to help keep the blade clear of obstructions, but it does not eliminate the need to manage grass and surface cover.
- The long shank hook leaves extra space between the point and the blade for better hook-ups, but that layout can also make the bait feel more open and less compact than some anglers prefer.
- The smaller profile version uses a true running wire and a different blade for a different sound, so the exact feel and presentation will vary from the standard Elite Buzzbait.
