Wired2fish Editors
Jul 03, 2020

What better to wet your topwater bass fishing thirst than a solid buzzbait fishing tip from Gerald “GMAN” Swindle from his home lake of Lake Guntersville, Alabama. Swindle forgoes skirts, trailer hooks, and fancy mass-market buzzbaits for a simple homemade bait sweetened with some modifications and his favorite soft bait trailer. He details the full bait setup and shares his go-to rod, reel, and line combo to catch buzzbait bass throughout the country. If you like laughing and learning, check out GMAN’s YouTube channel.
