Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw – Maximum Surface Disruption. Maximum Results.
The Buccaneer Bait Co. Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw is a topwater bass buzzbait designed to create aggressive surface disturbance and attract explosive strikes from largemouth bass.
Featuring two distinctive blade configurations, a heavy-duty wire frame, and a hand-tied silicone skirt, the Buzzsaw gives anglers the ability to customize their surface presentation when fishing shallow cover, grass edges, and open-water pockets.
Two Blade Configurations. Two Distinct Surface Presentations.
Unlike conventional buzzbaits with a single blade configuration, the Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw offers anglers two options for creating surface commotion.
4-Blade Prop Configuration
The four-blade prop creates surface commotion and vibration while maintaining a traditional buzzbait presentation.
It’s an excellent choice when you want noticeable surface action without the additional disturbance of the counter-rotating design.
Counter-Rotating Blade-in-Blade Configuration
For anglers looking to create even more commotion, the counter-rotating blade-in-blade system produces greater surface disturbance than the four-blade configuration.
Its aggressive action makes it an appealing option when you want a more pronounced surface presentation to attract the attention of feeding bass.
Which Buzzsaw Blade Should You Choose?
Both configurations perform similarly at slower retrieve speeds, allowing anglers to work the lure deliberately through promising areas.
Choose the 4-blade prop for a more conventional surface presentation, or select the counter-rotating blade-in-blade system when maximum surface disturbance is your goal.
Built for Serious Bass Fishing
Every Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw combines durable construction with features designed for effective topwater presentations.
Heavy-Duty Wire Frame
The Buzzsaw features a heavy-duty wire frame designed to withstand the demands of bass fishing while supporting consistent blade operation.
Three Weight Options
Available in 1/4 oz., 3/8 oz., and 1/2 oz., the Buzzsaw provides options for different fishing situations.
- 1/4 oz. – A lighter option for shallow-water presentations.
- 3/8 oz. – A versatile choice for general buzzbait fishing.
- 1/2 oz. – A heavier option when additional casting weight is desired.
Hand-Tied Silicone Skirts
Each Buzzsaw features a full, hand-tied silicone skirt that pulses and flares during the retrieve, adding movement beneath the surface disturbance created by the blades.
A variety of available colors allows anglers to adjust their presentation to water clarity, available forage, and fishing conditions.
How to Fish the Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw
The Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw is designed for topwater bass fishing where surface commotion can attract aggressive reaction strikes.
Whether you’re covering shallow vegetation, working shoreline cover, or searching for actively feeding bass, the Buzzsaw offers a versatile approach to fishing the upper portion of the water column.
Target Grass Lines and Vegetation Edges
Fish the Buzzsaw along the edges of hydrilla, eelgrass, lily pads, and other aquatic vegetation where largemouth bass frequently position themselves to ambush prey.
Whenever possible, cast parallel to the vegetation and maintain a steady retrieve along the grass line.
Pay particular attention to points, openings, and irregularities in the vegetation. These locations often create productive ambush opportunities.
Work Shallow Cover and Shoreline Structure
The Buzzsaw can also be effective around docks, fallen timber, seawalls, and scattered shoreline cover.
Cast beyond the target and retrieve the lure alongside the structure, allowing it to travel through the strike zone while maintaining consistent surface action.
Experiment with different casting angles when working isolated pieces of cover.
Adjust Your Retrieve Speed
Begin retrieving as the lure lands to bring the blades to the surface quickly.
Once the Buzzsaw is running on top, maintain a steady retrieve that keeps the blades producing consistent surface disturbance.
Both blade configurations perform similarly at slower speeds, giving anglers the ability to work promising areas without relying on an excessively fast presentation.
The four-blade prop produces a strong surface presentation, while the counter-rotating blade-in-blade configuration creates even greater commotion.
Take Advantage of Low-Light Conditions
Early mornings, late evenings, and overcast days can provide excellent opportunities for buzzbait fishing.
During these periods, bass may move into shallow areas to feed, making vegetation edges, shallow flats, and shoreline cover productive locations.
Buzzbaits can also produce strikes during daylight hours, particularly around shaded cover and vegetation.
When a Bass Strikes
Topwater strikes can be explosive, but setting the hook too quickly may pull the lure away before the fish has it.
When a bass strikes, continue reeling until you feel the fish load the rod, then make a firm hookset.
If a bass misses the Buzzsaw, continue your retrieve briefly. Sometimes the fish will strike again. If not, make another cast through the same area.
Put More Surface Action to Work
Whether you prefer the traditional action of the four-blade prop or the additional surface disturbance of the counter-rotating blade-in-blade system, the Buccaneer Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw gives you two distinctive ways to target largemouth bass.
With three weight options, hand-tied silicone skirts, and a selection of colors, the Buzzsaw is ready for a variety of topwater fishing situations.
Choose your blade configuration, select your color, and put the Davy Jones’ Buzzsaw to work.
Precision. Power. Presentation.
