Quick take
A 3/8 oz buzzbait with twin counter-rotating blades and pre-rigged trailer hook, for slow retrieves and straight tracking.
This black 3/8-ounce buzzbait is built for anglers working bass along visible cover on a slow surface retrieve. Twin counter-rotating blades create lift, and the Magic Tail trailer adds motion to the skirt. A sabre point trailer hook comes rigged on the bait, and a trailer keeper is worth adding to hold it in place.

Strengths
