Quick take
A high-action buzzbait with a hard-kicking frog body designed by Kevin VanDam for freshwater topwater.
The Lew's KVD Toad Buzz pairs a skirtless wire buzzbait with a pre-rigged toad trailer, a surface bait built for bass anglers. Its large blade churns a bubbling trail across the top, and the flat trailer suits skipping it under docks and through trees. A spare toad comes with the bait, so a second trailer is ready for the day.

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
