4260, Anyone useing the BBZ by Spro.....
Posted by jmkiernan, Wed Oct-04-06 10:19 AM
Just wondering if anyone is useing these baits and what the general feeling is about them. I threw the floater last night without a blowup (maybe it was just a bad night) but I did like the fact that it makes so much noise and throws a big wake. Thanks,
Jared

I know for a fact the stripers won't eat it.;)

I've been trying the slow sink at Castaic and I've had a few hits but nothing stuck. I like the way it swims but still no fish on it.

The BBZ works well on stripers and largemouths. Timing and conditions are most important for success. Be persistent and you'll be rewarded. I've had good luck with the lure.

I got the fast sink a couple weeks ago. Hit all fins with glue and have had no fin problems yet. I havent had a chance to throw it a whole lot but both trips that I have I have hooked fish on it. Nothing big yet. Cant wait to try it night fishing.

I recently caught a 9 lb striper on a BBZ slow sinker at DVL. The tail separated a little after the fight,but I glued it back on. The fins held up well. Earlier in the day I caught another 8 lb striper on a Hudd and the striper ripped it up pretty badly. I think the BBZ is best for striper fishing since it is mostly hard body. I haven't caught a bass on the BBZ yet, but I just got it and have only used it for one day of fishing. I like the way it swims and I like that it has 2 treble hooks on the bottom. It may become my favorite swimbait.
