First buzz bait I saw was at Collinsville trade day mid 70’s. Guy had a cardboard box full for .50 each. I brought home 2 & caught the pizz out of some beaver pond bass. You guys realize how fast you have to turn the handle of a Zebco 33 to keep that thing on top??

Yes. Dad's good friend was a tournament angler and we only threw worms in our oxbow lake. He brought the friend and showed me buzzbaits and spinnerbaits. After a summer of speed feeling, I bought a 5500.
