Quick take
Buzzbait with attached toad trailer that creates noise and commotion on the surface.
The 3/8 oz White War Eagle Buzz Toad is a buzzbait with a keeled hook and a white finish, built to pair a buzz blade with a soft toad trailer. Its keeled hook setup gives a different profile from the treble and J hook versions in the same line. It fits bass and general buzzbait anglers who want a light-colored option.

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.
