Buzzbaits are topwater lures with flat propeller-like blades that churn the water as the bait is retrieved, producing the noisy buzzing sound that gives these baits their name. Buzzbaits are typically made of hard plastic or lightweight aluminum.
The baits come in two basic shapes, inline and U-shaped, with between one and four blades per lure [source: Ratley]. Experienced anglers often bend the blades to modify the angle of the propellers, which affects their movement, or action, in the water [source: Staples]. Of course, the next lure has been considered one of the go-to lures for amateur and pro fishermen since it was first invented in the late '60s.
