- Expert Pick #1
- GP 1 Summary:
- The Natural Compact Pick
- GP 1 Details:
- Pond Skater • 3/8 oz • Green Pumpkin • Green Pumpkin Blade • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 1 Why:
- Green Pumpkin gives this buzzbait a natural look that matches many common river and creek forage species. The lighter 3/8 oz size also keeps the overall profile smaller and easier to fish high on the surface.
- GP 1 How:
- Fish it around shallow wood, grass, current breaks, laydowns and other cover. Keep a steady retrieve and let the lighter weight help the bait stay on top without needing excessive speed.
- GP 1 When:
- Choose this when you want a smaller, natural-looking buzzbait for rivers and creeks, especially in shallow water where a subtle profile and easy surface control are important.

- Expert Pick #2
- GP 2 Summary:
- The Frog & Sunfish Pick
- GP 2 Details:
- Pond Skater • 3/8 oz • Ribbit • Black Blade • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 2 Why:
- Ribbit gives this buzzbait a natural frog and sunfish look, matching two common types of forage bass regularly encounter in rivers and creeks.
- GP 2 How:
- Fish it around shallow grass, wood, overhanging cover, current breaks and protected pockets where frogs and sunfish are likely to be present. Keep it moving steadily across the surface.
- GP 2 When:
- Choose this when bass are feeding around frogs or sunfish, especially in shallow river and creek cover where a natural surface presentation makes sense.

- Expert Pick #3
- GP 3 Summary:
- The Louder Black Pick
- GP 3 Details:
- Claymore Clacker • 3/8 oz • Raven • Black Blade • Green Pumpkin Clacker • Gamakatsu Hook
- GP 3 Why:
- Raven gives this buzzbait the proven dark profile of a black surface bait, while the clacker adds extra sound and makes it more aggressive than the quieter Pond Skater options.
- GP 3 How:
- Fish it around shallow wood, grass, current breaks, laydowns and other high-percentage river cover. Keep it moving on top and let the clacker add extra sound as the bait comes through the strike zone.
- GP 3 When:
- Choose this when you want a darker buzzbait with more sound, especially when bass need a stronger surface cue or the quieter presentations are not drawing enough attention.
