Cavitron dosnnt come in a 1/2oz. I believe you meant 3/8 oz. But you were correct on the black on black and that Cavitron are the best


fishing user avatarhookingem reply : 

3/8 oz. yes sir thank you.


fishing user avatarIma Bass Ninja reply : 

I bought a Cavitron buzzbait last year at the SC sportsman show. When i asked which one i should get the guy said"can't go wrong with chartreuse". The first time i threw it i caught a 3lber.  So I'm gonna x3 the Cavitron but go with the chartreuse.


fishing user avatarEastTexasBassin reply : 

I've done best with the white cavitron w/ gold blade.


fishing user avatartritz18 reply : 

3/8 Cavitron Black skirt and red blade


fishing user avatarThe one that got away reply : 

Cavitron 3/8 oz, black with red blades, but all the colors work.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

3/8 oz. Cavitron, black on black

8-)


fishing user avatarCRANKSTER reply : 

3/8 Cavitron, red/black, black/black.


fishing user avatarbilgerat reply : 

I picked up 1/8 oz versions by Strike King and Booyah. I've read that that the smaller ones can actually outfish the larger ones at times. I stuck with solid black and solid white. We'll see which brand sticks more fish.

Topwater crush on ultra light....can't wait :)


fishing user avatarokiefisher8 reply : 

I'm gonna have to say the cavitron as well.  Many of the colors have produced for me.


fishing user avatarBassThumb reply : 

Another vote for Cavitron. The 3/8 oz black blade on black skirt is my go-to, but I've had a lot of fun with red on black, gold on white, and gold on Secret Weapon Lures gold shiner skirt.

I also use the subtle 1/8 oz Strike King Mini Buzz, usually with the blades bent forward so I can slow the retrieve down. It works well after a small cold front slows down a hot bite. It's also a good option as a follow up bait after you've fished a stretch with a big buzzer. Plus, it's a fantastic river smallie lure.


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

Haven't tried a cavitron, looks like I need too. I've done really well with a black War Eagle 1/4 oz and a homemade 3/8 white head, white painted blade, and a clear skirt with silver sparkle, they tear it up in clear water.

I've caught a few cats on cranks and spoons, but NEVER a buzzbait...wow. :)


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

Advice on Cavitron maintenance:

Your lure is going to get beat up, twisted and

bent. Bend it back into shape and keep fishing.

The worse it looks, the better it fishes!

fishing user avatarMSPbass reply : 

3/8 Vision Lures Honeybuzz with black skirt, silver blade, & rusted rivet.  :)


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply : 

Like I tell everyone-"Use what you have confidence with" thats better than any brand on the market


fishing user avatarMidnight Splash reply : 

I always night fish in the summer with black buzz baits. I mainly used Strike Kings Bleeding Buzz Bait but I will buy me some Cavitrons after reading this. I catch a lot of Catfish while bass fishing at night. It really ticks me off. I can't really see much and all I hear is a huge splash. My heart gets pumpin on the strike and then I get disappointed once I find out its another cat. I usually catch them in the 5-10lb range and they do fight. I got to where if I get a huge strike at night I will tell myself "probably another catfish" just to ease the disappointment. They also like them some black jitterbugs at night.


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply : 

I have never ever caught a cat on a buzzbait-


fishing user avatarBassAssassin85 reply : 

I just got cavitrons on a ebay bid at the end of last years fishing season i changed the skirts one to a bluegill and caught a few but this was when the buzz bait bite was dead on our lake late in the season. I also made a sexy shad chartruese color as well looks sweet but havent tried it yet. Ive had my best buzzbait fish last year on a bleeding chartreuse and white clacker 3.8lb smally.


fishing user avatarSam reply : 

Water temp 55* and up.

Thats all, folks.  :)


fishing user avatarBobby Uhrig reply :

They used to, I have two that I bought in '09.

Oh, and Ghost Minnow with Red Blade and Gold Blade with White/Chart skirt.


fishing user avatarpaangler3117 reply : 

I use home made ones that I make, I might have to get some cavitron's though! white, black, and chartruse.

fishing user avatarJigMe reply : 

another vote for Cavitron, most of my buzzbait bass was caught on 3/8 Ghost minnow with gold blade.
