I've had some success with buzzbaits in the past but they would get all twisted up after a catch so I decided to try and make some heavy duty ones. I carved a head, created a mold and poured some lead. I used some .062 wire and powder coated them. Also I added more skirt material and a trailer to beef them up a bit. Had some fun making a few different styles.

Glad you like them! They are about 8 inches from loop to trailer hook and they range in weight from 1.6 oz to 1.9 oz.

Do they run true (stay totally upright without tipping to one side)?
And do you sell them?

I haven't been able to give them a test yet. I wouldn't be apposed to selling them but I would like to make sure they run true first and tune them if I have to.

When you test them I would be curious to see how far they can be thrown. Nice baits!

good looking baits. I wonder how the action will be with the extra spinner blade on 3 & 5. neat idea.
I like the way the trailer hook is positioned. nice job.
