itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuzzbaits are not all created equal.  Let's get back to our core philosophies: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.  GET BIT.   Attention to details, the cosmetic features of the lure, and most importantly the swimming motions fool wary fish into striking.   Fish with the confidence that your Defiant Jighead WILL get bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.  Hook Fish.  The 2nd and equally as important criteria that we demand of our lures.  The Defiant Jighead features a custom Decoy 11 Black Nickel jig hook.  Incredibly sharp and strong.  Penetrate easily deep into the throat of the custom hook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.  High Landing Percentage.  The Final and critically important feature is a higher than average landing percentage due to the above industry standard jig hook.  The unique twist lock bait keeper will also keep your plastic trailers from being pulled down away from the jighead by short biting fish.  This keeps your lure fishing as intended and allows those fish to commit until they bite our super sharp custom hook.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*To rig the lure properly, begin by threading the lure on as normal.  DO NOT SHOVE THE PLASTIC up into the twist lock.  Begin to twist the entire body of the bait around the hook shank and point to complete a revolution.  Repeat until the plastic sits flush against the jighead.  No more super glue needed!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis unique buzzbait is built on a custom 5\/0 flipping hook that minimizes those fish shaking your bait free, especially on the jumps.  Keep tension and that rod tip buried in the water and wind hard when they sky on you.  We've tested this buzzbait on big acrobatic 5-7lb smallmouth and largemouth throughout the country and find this custom hook to be a real difference maker in our landing ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeighing in 3\/4 ounces, this lure allows you to overcome the aerodynamic challenges faced by other buzzbaits.  Our unique planing head allows the buzz bait to start quicker and stay on top easier for slow crawling retrieves to fast, water covering burns.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Naked version of our buzzbait is built with toad and swimbait buzzers in mind.  If you want an option without the skirt and flashy blade, this ones for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5\/0 Custom Hook\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3\/4oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1
