Nothing screams Southern quite like the long, drawn-out drawl of "Buzz Bait," stretched with enough "z’s" to buzz in your ear like a swarm of mosquitoes you can’t help but swat. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve been trapped at a boat ramp, cornered by some unwashed country angler spinning wild tales of his fishing glory with a "Buzzzzzzzzzzzz Baaate." Sure, buzz baits are a go-to for the masses, but they’ve also earned a spot in the slightly more refined world of musky fishing.
That’s where my obsession with crafting the ultimate musky buzz bait began. After teaming up with Figure 8 Lure Company, we spent a long summer and fall prototyping and perfecting. The result? Musky gold. Say hello to my latest creation: Steve’s Buzz Saw—a lure built to dominate the toughest conditions and hook the meanest muskies.
Steve’s Buzz Saw: The Ultimate Musky Buzz Bait
Here’s the official rundown:
Steve’s Buzz Saw is a tactical predator-slayer designed to tackle muskies hiding in the thickest weeds and sloppiest slop. With dual interlocked buzz blades pumping out maximum thump and vibration, plus a willow leaf trailer blade for extra flash and underwater chaos, this lure is a game-changer. It shines in dense cover but doesn’t stop there—open water is fair game too. Dropping deeper in the water column, it triggers more strikes and owns figure-eight maneuvers like a champ. Loud, aggressive, and ready for battle, Steve’s Buzz Saw dares toothy giants to take a swing, no matter where they lurk.
Looking for the best buzz bait for musky fishing? Steve’s Buzz Saw is it. Handmade with custom aluminum blades, it squeaks and creaks to draw muskies in like a dinner bell. But that magic takes a little tuning—here’s how to get it screaming:
Pre-Cast Prep: Before your first cast (or after landing a musky), square up the blades and align them with the lure’s arm.
Wear It In: Rotate the blades to break them in—the more wear on the blades and stainless-steel shaft, the louder and better it performs.
Amplify the Noise: Slide the blades vertically along the shaft to increase wear and crank up the squeak.
Work It: Spin the blades until they move freely. For peak performance, let honest use do the heavy lifting.
Built for slinging into the nastiest musky slop, Steve’s Buzz Saw doubles as a killer open-water lure—think of it as a souped-up spinner bait. Transition effortlessly from shallow, sloppy cover to deep water and back. Whether you’re chasing giants or just itching for a fight in the weeds, tie on a Steve’s Buzz Saw and burn it in.
