Twice The Noise. One Violent Surface Strike. The G-Ratt Baits Proper Buzz is an innovative hybrid topwater lure that combines the proven fish-calling power of a traditional buzzbait with the aggressive sound signature of a plopper-style tail. Built around a rugged through-wire frame and designed without traditional skirts, the Proper Buzz creates intense surface commotion while maximizing hook-up opportunities. Whether covering expansive flats, grass edges, points, or isolated cover, this unique topwater bait is engineered to trigger explosive reaction strikes from aggressive predators. Key Features Dual Propeller Sound System — Combines a large front buzz blade with a rear plopper-style prop to generate multiple sound frequencies during the retrieve. Heavy-Duty Through-Wire Build — Reinforced wire-through construction increases durability when battling large bass, pike, and other aggressive game fish. Secure Line-Tie Design — Twisted enclosed wire connection helps prevent knots and braided line from slipping during repeated long-distance casts. Skirtless Hookup Optimization — Dual exposed treble hooks eliminate the need for traditional skirts and help improve hook penetration on short strikes. Open-Water Efficiency — Streamlined body profile is designed to cover water quickly while maintaining consistent topwater action. Aggressive Surface Disturbance — Creates splash, vibration, plopping sounds, and visual commotion designed to attract attention from a distance.
