Fishbelly

 

This is a great lure. Very high quality, and different from anything that I have ever fished. The best buzzbait I have ever thrown! The Helix Buzz was ready to fish, straight out of the package. I didn't have to tune the bait at all, even after the 14th bass! I would absolutely recommend Fishbelly products to my fisher-friends. Price is no match for quality, and the Helix Buzz is hands-down the best buzzbait I have ever fished.

When I first opened the Helix Buzz's package, I was a little skeptical of how much lift the unconventional blade design would provide. I tied the lure on and gave it a cast across the water, completely over-casting my original target by a good 20 feet! I have never seen a buzzbait that casts as far and as accurately as the Helix (after, of course, I got used to how much farther the lure casts in comparison to my conventional buzzbaits). Once the lure hit the water, I started reeling like a madman (thinking the lure would never be able to be fished slowly because of the blade design). The Helix Buzz tracked straight and true even at my fastest retrieve, and to my surprise, I was able to fish the bait incredibly slowly. After I slowed it down and was accustomed to the greater casting distance, I caught 14 largemouth bass, with the largest being 5 1/2 pounds. Not bad for pre-spawn bass at all! I never had to tune the Helix, not once! Excellent product! Aaron H. Buffalo, NY

I works really well.And a great fish catcher. I am a true believer that this lure is a true investment to any fisherman. Duane H. Port Arthur, TX

The Helix Buzz bait is fantastic. Always caught a bass no matter what the weather/ environmental conditions. I have never caught so many bass on this type of bait. The surface action is phenomenal. Michael O. Poughkeepsie, NY

Great action, the unique blades create a ripple unlike conventional buzz baits. Fish really tune in to subtle differences in presentation such as the wake created with the Helix Buzz. Creative and smart design. I believe in offering a different presentation for the heavy traffic lakes here in Arizona. Love the design of the blades. It makes great sense to have the fan concept used on buzz baits vs. the previous flat pinwheel look of the past. Paul S. Chandler, AZ

It was easy casting into the wind and it out fished my buddy's buzz bait almost 2 to 1.
Ease of casting into the wind and it's ability to call fish. Best buzz bait I have ever used. It is a breed all of its own. Dave C. Napoleon, OH

Great buzz bait used on the Ca. Delta with good success. Fished thick tullies with no problems. Great buzz bait rides across the water well. No adjustments right out of the package. Great bait. I also used the Hawg Shad and I think it is an outstanding Drop Shot bait. Glen S. Waterford, CA

The product is the correct size and has the live fish detail to make a fine drop shot lure. Hawgshad has the large eye and detail which makes the lure especially good as a drop shot lure. I also like it as a finesse type lure because of the action of the lure. I would recommend this product particularly because of the prominent eye and the detail around the head. Larry W. Florissant, MO

The plastic bait is super pliable, giving a very life-like appearance in use. When twitched, it looked like a dying minnow – to me and to bass. I really like the action of the Hawg Shad. The proof is in the catching, making this an effective, efficient and economical product. Bill E. Northbrook, IL
