Overview
Built for topwater presentations, this buzzbait is designed to get moving quickly and stay working near the surface. Its flat keel head, durable blade, and light wire are intended to create vibration, a bubble trail, and a loud squeaking sound that can help draw attention in active water. The custom slip-on skirt and Mustad Ultra Power Point hook complete a straightforward setup for anglers targeting bass and other fish. At 3/8 oz., it offers a compact option for situations where a surface bait is the right choice.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 3/8 oz weight is a specific presentation choice, so it may not be the right fit if you prefer a different buzzbait size for your setup or conditions.
- Its loud squeaking sound and bubble trail are part of the design, which may be more aggressive than anglers want in quieter or more subtle topwater situations.
- The light wire construction is intended to enhance vibration, but that also means the bait is built around a particular feel and action rather than a heavier-duty profile.
- This is a specialized topwater bait, so it is best suited to buzzbait presentations rather than all-around lure use.
