War Eagle BuzzToad 3/8oz Black/Gold
The War Eagle BuzzToad 3/8oz Black/Gold is a hybrid topwater buzz bait that combines the proven action of a classic buzzbait with a soft-plastic trailer for a one-two punch on active bass. If you're hunting big fish in shallow water and want a lure that generates serious surface commotion, this single-prop buzzer delivers the noise and attraction that brings strikes from aggressive bass willing to chase down prey.
What sets the BuzzToad apart is its approach: the buzzbait's blade churns the water to grab attention, while the included soft-plastic trailer adds a lifelike profile and wiggling action that bass can't ignore. The cone-shaped keeper holds the trailer securely without requiring adhesive, so you can swap out plastics or adjust your setup on the water without wrestling with glue or broken trailers. At 3/8 ounce, this is a versatile weight for shallow cover, open water, and transition zones where topwater hunting works best.
The black and gold finish is a proven pattern for low-light conditions, stained water, and dawn or dusk presentations—ideal for early-morning or late-evening bass sessions when predators hunt the shallows. Throw it over weed beds, around timber, or along grass lines, and let the blade and trailer do the work. This is a lure that rewards confidence and aggressive presentation; the more you work it, the more bass notice it.
