Black buzzbaits

Use black buzzbaits when fishing for largemouth bass at night
When fishing for largemouth bass at night, no lures are better than those that make some commotion. As visibility is severely limited for the fish, a black bait, that silhouettes against the sky as it rides noisily across the surface is perfect. Buzzbaits are similar to spinnerbaits, except their blades are more like propellers, which make more noise. Noise is a good thing in a lure at night.

Use black buzzbaits for largemouth bass at night. These baits are noisy and slow, and the black color is most visible when fish look up, as the sky is lighter, and the bait will be spotted more easily if it is dark. Try to keep the baits near the surface.

Cast to structure, and fish in medium depth water, if possible. Retrieve buzzbaits slowly, and keep them on a steady reel. Keep casting to the same promising looking places over and over, as it may take bass a little while to get into attack mode, and to locate the bait at night.

There are a number of great buzzbaits available from many different bait companies. Just make sure to use black, or very dark buzzbaits when fishing for bass at night.
