Strike King Promo Buzz Bait 1/4oz Chartreuse/White
The Strike King Promo Buzz Bait in 1/4oz Chartreuse/White is a single-prop buzzbait built for anglers who want a reliable, straightforward topwater option that creates commotion and attracts aggressive strikes. Buzz baits work by churning the water surface as they're retrieved, mimicking wounded baitfish or other prey that trigger predatory instincts in bass, pike, and other game fish. This chartreuse and white color combo is a time-tested combination that performs across varying water clarity and light conditions, making it a practical choice whether you're fishing shallow flats, grass edges, or around cover.
At 1/4 ounce, this buzzbait is light enough for accurate casting and worked at steady or variable retrieve speeds to control noise output and depth. The single-prop design keeps things simple—less hardware means fewer moving parts to jam or fail, and a cleaner retrieve profile that won't spook fish in clear water or low-light situations. Whether you're sight-fishing in clear shallows or covering water early and late in the day, a buzzbait lets you fish fast, cover ground efficiently, and keep an eye on exactly what's happening at the surface.
Strike King has spent decades refining topwater lures, and the Promo Buzz Bait reflects that experience. If you tie on a buzzbait and work it with confidence, you'll get explosive topwater action and the hooksets that make fishing fun.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fish species will a buzz bait catch?
Buzz baits are effective for bass, pike, and other predatory fish that respond to topwater commotion. Largemouth and smallmouth bass are primary targets, but the Promo Buzz Bait will also draw strikes from pike, musky, and other species that hunt near the surface.
When is the best time to fish a buzzbait?
Buzz baits excel during low-light periods—early morning, late evening, and overcast days—when fish move shallow to feed. They also work well around heavy cover like grass, timber, and structure where predators ambush prey.
What retrieve speed should I use?
Buzz baits are typically retrieved at a steady, moderate pace that keeps the prop working and the bait riding at the surface. You can experiment with faster or slower retrieves to adjust the noise output and entice different fish behaviors.
What color chartreuse and white pattern is this?
This buzzbait features a chartreuse body with white accents—a high-visibility combination that performs in both clear and stained water, making it versatile across different fishing conditions.
