BassdozerStore.com: Bassdozer's Mini Rapper Buzzbaits Produce Big Results

I'm proud to say...there's nothing else quite like these deadly little buzzbaits on the market. Please enjoy!

Type: Mini Rapper Buzzbait
Size: 1/4 oz 4/0 .040" wire dia.
Hook: Mustad Ultra Point Black Nickel Long Shank
Blade: Bright Aluminum Delta or Painted Gold Delta w/chip and scratch resistant finish

The Rapper buzzbait has a broad, keeled planing head shaped like a boat hull. Best of all, the blade raps against the top of the head creating a loud clacking sound that infuriates bass. The wire arm can be fine-tuned to adjust the noise level ranging from not hitting the head at all (like a standard buzzbait) to lightly hitting the head or hitting it hard.

Bassdozer says: "Never underestimate the fish-calling attraction of the clacking sound. Think of it like chumming with noise to call fish over to your bait from a longer distance - from as far away as they can hear the loud clack. I think many anglers shy away from using the loud clacking buzzbaits because we are constantly told to be subtle, stealthy, natural in our approaches with lures. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to these Rapper buzzbaits. Most of the time under a variety of water, wind and light conditions, I tend to attract and catch more fish under all conditions with the Rapper buzzbait tuned to emit a loud clack."

One other neat thing about the clacking is the loudness almost self-adjusts depending on whether the surface conditions are smooth or choppy. When the surface is slick, the clack will be more subdued but when the surface is rippled or rough, the clack seems louder. I liken this to an off-road vehicle when driving down a smooth, paved highway, the vehicle is quiet, but get off-road on rough terrain and all the bouncing causes the vehicle to rattle and clang, making more noise. I think a rough surface does the same thing with this buzzbait by bouncing it around more and causing it to produce a louder clack in rippled or choppy water.

Handy size comparison.

These are SkirtsPlus Hole-In-One half-skirts and the strands are sandwiched and glued in between an inner hub and outer band. This means the strands can never move or wiggle out from under or fall out of the skirt. Each strand is locked and glued in place fairly permanently. Note that it would be impossible to use a full-size skirt on these because the full skirt strands would get wrapped up and tangle in the revolving blade. The half-skirt however is the perfect size. It's just not possible for the short strands to wrap in the blade.

Best of all, the short hairs bend all the way back and fold over on the retrieve. With the short strands bent all the way back when the lure is moving forward, it causes an effect where the short strands resemble the head and gill flaps of a baitfish, and the short hairs pulse forward-and-backward like fish gills gasping for breath whenever the bait falters.

Bassdozer says: "This is a compact buzzbait with a short wire arm plus a half-skirt, making it almost jig-sized - but the real beauty is that the blade and the hook aren't tiny - it's a relatively large blade that produces a lot of bubbling commotion and clacking, and even though it's a big blade, the overall balance of the buzzbait is perfect. It does not torque to the side when tuned to run straight."

Don't forget the trailer hooks. Simply, you will catch more fish! 2/0 Mustad KVD hook shown. Trailer hooks sold separately in Bassdozer's store.
