Buzzbait Aficionados

[Jigger]

I've never been too much of a buzzbait fan, using instead a Pop R or Spook when I think the bass are looking up but buzzbaits took a lot of the checks home in the tourneys I fished this year. I carry a bag of buzzbaits that I'll reach in and randomly select one from time to time but I've always pretty much considered them to be pretty much the same in that a bass will either hit one or they won't and the size shape and color doesn't make much difference which I'm probably wrong about. Like I said, I'm not much of a buzzbait devotee. However, after seeing the tournament results this year, I've made my mind up to fish a buzzbait more next year along with my go to bait, the jig and pig.

So, my questions to all you buzzbait guys are these:

1.Do sizes and colors really make a difference? If yes, what colors and sizes do you carry and when do you use them?

2.What brands do you recommend and why.

3.Any tips, tricks or advice you can give me on fishing a buzzbait?? Such as, trailer hooks----or, not, multiple blades, line size and type, retrieves etc.
