Overview
Built with a highly individualized shape, the Arbogast Buzz Plug offers a lethal presentation and a unique advantage over traditional buzzbaits - the ability to come to a complete stop without sinking. While other buzzbaits require constant motion to stay afloat, you can pause the Arbogast Buzz Plug around stumps, slop, and docks, then give it a slight twitch or shake to persuade hungry bass into biting. Fish it with a slow, stop-and-go, or steady retrieve, and the single prop blade creates an incredible surface disturbance. The Arbogast Buzz Plug is also armed with a razor-sharp double upturned hook that fishes virtually weedless. When paused, the nose lifts slightly out of the water and positions the hook at precisely the right angle for a higher hookup ratio. Truly one-of-a-kind, the Arbogast Buzz Plug offers bass a taste of something that they’ve never seen before - a buoyant buzzbait with the ability to stop, and deliver that little bit of extra action that gets the job done.

Comments: This is a strange looking bait but works for some reason. My grandson used the mouse color and man did the bass went crazy over this bait! Even a submerged snapping turtle near shore had a go at it. It's a simple bait to use. Just cast it out and reel back in how easy can that get. perfect for kids! Just watch out for mats of floating weeds. It will get hung up.

Comments: Make the Arbogast Buzz Plug even better by removing the double hook, attaching two split rings, then adding a Mustad UltraPoint Grip-Pin Max, Mustad UltraPoint Grip-Pin Edge, or any swimbait hook to create some monster possibilities. Catch a bucketmouth today!

Comments: I keep this lure in a little wooden box imprinted with the name Secret lure on it and with a little padlock on the box. When ever I go fishing with someone new, and the conditions are correct, I pull it out. It is worth the measly five bucks to see the look on my companions faces and hear their comments. Once you start fishing it everything changes. This is just another in a great line of innovation from Arbogast. I don't know why I questioned it for over two years before buying it. A buzz bait that floats! It also looks like something the grandkids left on the lawn. Thank you for over fifty years of quality products Arbogast and thank you to the other reviewers and tackle warehouse for the reasons to finally buy one.

Comments: I fished the Rat, You can cast long but you should use braid for the long hook sets. At the end of the cast you have to drag on the reel with your thumb so the line straightens out - If you don't, I found that the line can get caught around the shaft at the buzz blade. I caught some on the lure for the short time fishing it. A heavy plug that makes bubbles due to the Air holes in the buzz blade and it does float.

Comments: I got mine yesterday - this thing is pretty cool. I am not generally a fan of Arbogast lures as them seem so "1970's", however this thing looks cool, and I can't wait to tie it on and see the action.

Comments: I sometimes like to use so-called "oldschool baits" just to remember good old days. So, when I found that Arbogast made a new product, I jumped onto it. This bait is pretty big - almost a size of pingpong ball - funny looking. If you are sick of throwing a frog, this might be your choice. It has a frog hook to avoid getting grass, btw.
