War Eagle BuzzToad 3/8oz Black/Gold

The War Eagle BuzzToad 3/8oz is a hybrid topwater lure that merges the proven action of a buzzbait with the erratic movement of a soft plastic toad body. If you're targeting aggressive bass in shallow cover or open water, this black and gold combination delivers the noise and commotion that trigger explosive strikes. The dual-action design—propeller buzz on top, toad legs churning below—creates a profile that imitates both baitfish and crawdads, making it effective across seasons and water conditions. The lure stays rigged thanks to a cone-shaped keeper that holds the toad body in place without adhesive, so you get consistent action cast after cast.

War Eagle's BuzzToad works best in situations where you need to cover water quickly and draw fish up from deeper structure. Early morning and late evening topwater sessions are prime, but don't overlook overcast days or cloudy water—the audible buzz and vibration cut through low-light conditions and help fish locate your lure. The 3/8oz weight balances castability with a solid thump, ideal for most fresh water scenarios where medium-power gear is the standard.

This is a lure built for anglers who understand that bass respond to commotion and contrast. The black and gold finish provides visibility and silhouette, while the combination of buzzbait and toad action creates a profile that's genuinely different from single-action topwater offerings. If you fish structure-heavy lakes, river channels, or shallow grass, keep a few of these in your box.
