Buzzbait question

keithdog · 07-03-11, 09:28 PM

The thought came to me today about altering the blade of a buzz bait and thought I would throw it by you guys. I've never had the luck some guys have with buzz baits. However I have had decent success using a buzz spoon I own. One big difference is that the blade on the buzz spoon is smaller than any buzz bait I've ever seen and thus it causes the same water commotion as a traditional buzzbait, but only more subdued. That got me to thinking, why not use plyers and bend the blade on the buzz bait so they have a bit of a flatter shape, and in doing so, I could create a quieter, less obnoxious sounding buzz bait. Has anyone thought of doing this and if so, how well did it work out?
