The buzzbait has long been a heavy hitter for South Carolinian Andy Montgomery, who is hands down the best skip-caster in professional bass fishing. He worked with Strike King for a year to develop a buzzbait that excels for skipping
Appropriately named the Skip’N Buzzbait, it comes dressed with a toad bait.
“I wanted to make a buzzbait that’s perfect for skipping and all-around buzzbait fishing,” Montgomery said. “The Skip’N Buzzbait is easier to skip because it’s more compact.”
The Skip’N Buzzbait is built on a heavy-duty wire form that doesn’t readily bend out of shape. This is a common problem with most other buzzbaits when you skip them.
“The Skip’N Buzzbait is built to stay true to form,” Montgomery stressed.
Removing a buzzbait’s skirt and dressing the hook with a toad or some other soft plastic bait has proven to be deadly on big bass. Montgomery’s favorite buzzbait trailers are Strike King’s Gurgle Toad and Magnum Rage Bug.
