Caught a few more on the WP yesterday, mostly school bass, 1-1.5 lbs or so, but the Boyd Duckett 5" BD Shad was the star producer, adding a 3.5 and a 2 to the cooler.

Yeah, it is...they smash that thing!

I had an Academy gift card, and I always try to use gift cards to buy things I wouldn't ordinarily spend money on. This time I bought the 130 (BIG thumbs up) and 90 (not a single strike on it) WP, plus a WP buzz bait looking thing (never threw it), and the BD Shad (super expensive, at $25, but produced almost as well as the WP 130).

LOL, I don't see that thang lasting long! I remember when buzzbaits first came out. I heard so much I bought one. When I threw it the first time, I felt such a ripped off fool. Didn't take many casts back then to get eaten up. I had to stop throwing a 1/4 oz on Conroe because I couldn't keep bream off the thing.

I used to be able to find a tiny, maybe 3/16 oz, inline buzzbait that was great for smaller ponds. It'd tear up the bass, big bream, even caught a catfish on one, once! Never had a bream hit a full sized buzzbait, and I've caught some real nice fish on them, now and again. I've always had them produce better early, rather than late in the day. Early in the morning, a buzzbait is a great way to cover a lot of area and pin down where the fish are. Once the sun's up and the buzzbait stops catching fish, switch to a spinnerbait and keep catching fish for a while longer!

I looked at that WP buzz thing and opted against it. If I throw a double blade it'll be some of the old Booyah double-buzz models I still have.

For fun fish I usually throw a 3/8-oz Boogerman buzzbait with no skirt and a 3-inch curlytail grub on it. When they bend it so badly that it won't run right I tie on another. Have caught some nice ones on it. Will throw the 1/2-ounce now and then.


I think the WP 90 has its place but I haven't found that place yet. LOL

You better not tear up all those Boogerman's. They are getting hard to find lol. I like that war eagle buzz bait that you put a horny road on. Buzz toad or something like that. I think that's what Old School was throwing when he won Beaver a few weeks ago

He was, and I like that buzzbait-frog combo. You can sling it a mile and it's a big wad of disruption similar to the Plopper but with only one hook instead of two trebles.

I have to talk sweetly to my Boogerman cache and protect 'em. They're definitely not hanging on every peg anymore. Like a few other things, when I find any of them I usually buy all that I see.
