So on to my absolute favorite top water lure, buzzbaits!
I personally feel like buzz baits are the all around perfect top water lure for agressive anglers. I myself fish very aggressively, I like moving baits, I like to get my bait in the water, hook up, land the fish, release it and get back to it, and the buzzbait is exactly that.
>where? EVERYWHERE. Literally everywhere, from ponds, to creeks, to lakes, to rivers. The buzzbait is perfect for it all, 1. It covers a lot of water, FAST. 2. It will find you fish a lot faster than a crankbait or a Texas rig, etc.
>How? I only use buzzbaits on baitcasters, for one simple reason. You have to be able to retrieve it fast, not lightning fast, but still a pretty good speed. And the reason you need to, is because the longer that lure is on top of the water and churning that water up and clacking, the better a chance you will get a strike, and it's easier to do that on a bait caster than say a spinning real. So like I said you want it on top of the water, so therefore as soon as you cast and it's getting ready to touch the water, be getting ready to reel. You don't want this lure sinking because it does you no good, with it being IN the water. all you have to do with this lure is reel, that's it, depending on the day, experiment with speeds and how you retrieve, sometimes I'll reel and then stop for like a second and then reel again. You just basically mess with your retrieve depending on the day.
>Also! Do NOT buy cheap buzzbaits, they don't work well, they don't stay on the water good, they sink too fast, they are cheap and poorly manufactured, trust me it's worth it to shell out $5 to buy a war eagle or a strike king.
