Out of all the videos on fishing you tell stuff the other guys seem to not want to share .A lot of us really appreciate this stuff .just want to catch .we pulling for you.
Great tips as always Matt. As a semi retired custom lure manufacturer. I like to drill out the holes in the blade just a bit to increase the squeak. Also make sure the tabs on each end of the blade for the holes are completely at a 90° angle. When replacing the rivet and you bend the wire at the very back end of rivet, I crimp that so that it stays fixed and will not move. This will help the sound. Before you crimp the rivet, make sure the blade has enough space to move freely up and down the shaft. Otherwise it will bind and not move freely.
@@MattStefanFishing drilling out the holes a bit in the blade slightly larger than what they are now is the equivalent of what the old school guys used to do by tying them onto the antenna of their car and letting them drive down the highway. You're basically wearing in the blade which will increase the squeal.
@@MattStefanFishing and have you ever tried using a ZCraw Jr or full size Z-Craw, instead of a skirt or a horny toad or other soft plastic baits. I've seen some other pros using the Z-Craw jr. Wondering if the full size Z-Craw would be too big and cause maybe some short strikes unless you were running a cheeter hook, but I feel a cheetah hook might interfere with the flappers on the Z-Craw
@@MattStefanFishing Thanks again. Just gave your buddy, Randy B props also...I catch more fish when I listen to yinz. Keep up the good work. I appreciate how hard it is to give up secrets that may cause "masses" to pollute a water with the technique YOU may need to win a tournament. Thanks again!
Dude I watched your Tannic water video earlier today and I was lucky enough to receive my jabberjaw square bills yesterday a few of them where the old Gregg color darker square bill so my creek water is that tannic color you where talking about so I used old Gregg and caught 2 of the largest fish I’ve ever caught out of that creek a 4.4 lb and a 3.7 lb casting alongside the weed line I only had an hour too fish so I didn’t get to try out the other colors I got so I’m not sure if it’s the color choice or the actions of the jabberjaw can’t wait till next weekend to be able to fish again and try out the other ones have you used a 13 fishes Jabberjaw hybrid square bill I think it has a place in my toolbox after today thanks for giving me that color tip in tannic water it definitely worked out for me today. If u haven’t tried a jabberjaw I highly recommend it worked out great for me I’m waiting on 6th sense Axis too come put them head to head check into those baits if you haven’t
Great info Matt, and there was a significant audible difference. Would you be willing to do a follow up video on how you tune a buzzbait to move left or right or how to fix one that already excessively moves at one of those angles?! Thanks!!!
I assemble my own . Before assemblage I take a pair of pliers and squeeze the lips of the rivet and the blade as hard as I can , creating little ridges .
I’ve got a great idea for a buzzbait design that’s never been done and it’ll create a noise like no other. I wish I could sell the design to a manufacturer and get a little cash of each bait sold. I have a spinnerbait also that’s unlike any other that I’ve never shown anyone. It’s deadly and very different than any spinnerbait. It has more movement than any I’ve seen.
I got mine to squeak by putting them in front of a fan. 🎣. But the way you showed us seems like a good idea too. If you use the fan idea.. don't let it run too long because I used a blower motor from a furnace and it wore through the metal blades 😳
I would argue that they do hear squeaking, which creates acoustical energy or vibration, and then picked up with their lateral line and other sound perception organs.
Ever try putting the blades in a vice and putting different imprits on em? Ive experimented with that and found those different vibes help so much.
I have by accident and have had success as well
Great Video, Thank You!!
Glad you liked it!

I remember years ago when Rick Clunn won tournaments with buzz baits. Especially in colder weather. Thanks for sharing

You can definitely tell the difference. Thanks for the tip!
You bet!
Thanks! Gave me new insight to try a lure I have never been successful with.

Love the buzz bait Matt. Became a confidence lure lately, as I caught a nice 3+ pounder on it. 🎣✌🏻
Awesome!
We used to tape them to the side view mirrors of our trucks during long trips. After they get really broken in they are real squeaky.
ive taped them to my deck for a few weeks and let the wind get them squeaky
Excellent tips Matt, thank you. Going to get my buzzbait box and tools right now!
Thanks!

Good suggestions. thanks! Ill put it on my list of ideas
Could you do a video on how to put plastics on a buzzbait
ill put it on my list!

Awesome!
Excellent tips
Thanks!
thanks for all the great buzzbait tips they are one of my favorite baits to throw .what tackle do you throw them on?
MHX MB843 rod. Its a MH fast action great for casting accuracy and strong enough to drive hook home and pull them out of cover.

holy smokes
Way cool!!
Thanks!
whats your bait do you used the most on a buzz bait
A Berkley The Deal Pearl White
need a video on how you rig it up without tearing up the frog
I spray the lead with my gulp scent and it lubricates it letting the frog slide right up
@@MattStefanFishing Thanks will give it a try. The 👍🏿
Man, that was probably just surface rust. Soak them in oil for a while then scuff off the rust. Might even make them squeak better lol
the rust makes them squeak
Bass don’t hear squeaking they feel vibration through the lateral line!
I would argue that they do hear squeaking, which creates acoustical energy or vibration, and then picked up with their lateral line and other sound perception organs.
When my buzz bait squeaks I get more bites. That's all the science I need..
