Buzz Bomb Lure Fishing Tips – Jig and Cast them for huge fish

BuzzBomb, ZZinger, Spinnow, Zelda Jig

How To Use Our Lures

Lower rod tips toward water.
Lift gently on rod upwards about 18″ – 24″ and immediately drop rod tip again, creating slack line.
Your lure sinks spinning horizontally. This rotation sends out vibrations that attract or annoy ALL fish, large or tiny, into striking.
Repeat. If you feel the least tick – hit hard!
Fish just beneath surface feed or just above “haystacks” of feed on the bottom.

Buzz Action

Most lures on the market attract fish only if the fish happens to see them! The Buzz Bomb fishing lure, Zzinger lure and Spinnow lure all attract by sight and sound! Therefore it would be reasonable to assume that the fishing lures will attract so many more fish than conventional tackle because of these extra sensory traits!

The above sketch is to illustrate how the Buzz Bomb Lure acts when given slack line and let fall freely through the water. When given slack line and let fall through the water, the Buzz Bomb lure, Zzinger lure, and Spinnow Lure spin on a horizontal axis, giving off SONIC vibrations that attract feeding fish, and annoy non feeding fish into biting the lure. Territorial species like walleye, pike and ling cod or cod absolutely SMASH the lures over and over again. If you throw a cedar shingle in the air, you will get the same results! Ie. A hydro-sonic “BUZZ”! This is the ICONIC SONIC Fishing LURE at work!
⦁ Look for the small arrow and word “Hook” on the Buzz Bomb to make sure you put it on the line the right way! The Buzz Bomb lure and Zzinger fishing lure have a top and a bottom! (The goes up towards rod tip for the Zzinger fishing lure)
One big advantage Buzz Bomb lures have over conventional fishing methods is that you can fish the exact depth and spot that you want. If you know where the fish hide out, you can literally “buzz bomb” them – jig the Buzz Bomb lures right in front of their nose! This is particularly productive when fishing a “drop off” or your “secret fishing spot”. Why troll past it over and over again?! For feeding Spring salmon (also called King salmon, Chinook salmon, Tyee Salmon) and Coho salmon, they are quite often located directly below a mass of bait fish or a “bait ball”, or when no bait is showing, we can often find the Spring salmon right on the bottom at depths from 30 to 100 feet. After some practice, you will not only become a very good Buzz Bomb lure expert, but also a fishing expert for your area as you have fully grasp the terrain and habits of the target species of Spring salmon, Coho salmon, and Pink Salmon (or Humpies as they are called in Washington state fishing circles), and if you are in fresh water large prized species like lake trout, muskie, walleye and pike.

Tying One On

For all fish, throughout the world, we stress that you put the Buzz Bomb lure, Zzinger lure, or Spinnow Lure where the fish are. If they jump or are hitting the surface water then “Buzz bomb” them with a cast!

This has become an iconic way to shore cast and beach cast for Pink salmon (Humpies) and trout throughout North America and revolutionised the fishery for salmon fishing up and down the Pacific Northwest. Even more, the Buzz Bomb, Zzinger and Spinnow lures are finding great success in warmer climates like Mexico, Costa Rica, and Hawaii for Tuna fishing and Mahi Mahi fishing, and Wahoo and also as a casting lure for Rooster fish, Sierra’s (Spanish Mackerel) and Jacks!

No matter what you fish for, or where you fish, there is a Buzz Bomb lure, Zzinger Lure, or Spinnow Lure of the right size and color that will out produce “conventional” means of fishing.

Which brand to choose?
Each brand actions different in the water when jigged. Spinnow is the most controlled, the Buzz Bomb is somewhat erratic, and Zzinger is a fast action jigging lure. Control your jigging to be smooth and not too long (2-3 ft pulls on the rod tip). For casting – reel in – 2 to 3 turns – and “pull” rod tip back and forth in between but at a slow consistent pace. This allows the lure to descend and rotate downward creating its iconic sonic vibrations and flash even when casting. The same is for trolling – pull the rod tip 3 feet towards the bow of the boat and then push it to the back of the boat quickly! This gives the Iconic Sonic Fishing lures slack line to rotate downward and tempt fish to strike!

In the end the key is to allow the lure to rotate downward so that it spins horizontally and flat. This is the lure mimicking a stunned bait fish and attracting strikes! For casting and retrieve – the longer the Buzz Bomb the more “wobble” it can have on the retrieve (reel in). Sometimes fish like the wobble other time not so much so you will have to play with your reel speeds to find what looks natural in your area – what looks like a nature bait fish!

Use a depth sounder to find bait balls and reefs and shoals and drop the lure just below the bait or just at the “drop off”. Salmon in particular will strike bait fish from below so if the lure is below the bait, a salmon or other predatory fish will think the lure is a stunned bait fish and strike it for sure! A popular technique also is to drop to bottom and jig 5-6 times and then reel up 10 feet rather quickly, and repeat jigging until you reach the boat. As the lure (bait fish) “starts to move away” a predator will strike it. Remember not to over jig the lure and control your rod tip.

People can over jig a Buzz Bomb lure and then a fish will strike the Buzz Bomb and release it before the angler knows what happened Just make 2-3ft pulls on the rod tip. That is enough.

As you get more comfortable you can also try the “double jig” – The Buzz Bomber jigs the rod up 2 feet, and then quickly pulls the rod 1 or 2 more feet. It is like a “pull-pull” action, and it can really get the bite going!
