Quick take
A 1/2 oz buzzbait with hand-tied skirt and custom blade for explosive topwater strikes.
The War Eagle buzzbait in Hot White Chartreuse is a half-ounce topwater lure for bass, built with a flat keel head that helps it rise to the surface quickly. Its slip-on skirt and spinning blade push a bubble trail across the water that calls fish up from below. Anglers reach for it over shallow cover on summer mornings, when bass are feeding near the top.

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.
