The Baby Buzzbait™ by Lee Bailey Jr is the newest and brightest star on the buzzbait market. Lee’s new buzzer features make it the only choice for fans of buzzing all day.

Lees Compact Baitfish Buzzer “The Most Compact Buzzbait Ever”
Here is why to choose a baitfish colored buzzbait:
- Best Bright/Low-Light Option: A baitfish lure with a translucent skirt or a white with colored skirts, along with our scientifically cupped and pitched prop, provides the sharpest, most defined silhouette for a fish looking up at a bright sunny sky or in stained water.
- Effective in Stained/Clear Water: When visibility is good (better than 2 feet), baitfish colors offer a high-contrast profile compared to darker colors.
- Ideal for Clear or Cloudy/Overcast Days: It is a go-to color for cloudy or rainy conditions, creating a clear target.
- Mimics Natural Prey: baitfish colors mimic common forage items that are foraging on the surface.
Top Techniques & Retrieval for Lee’s Compact Baitfish Buzzer
- The “Instant Start”: Close your bail as the lure hits the water and begin reeling immediately to keep it from sinking and to engage the props’ “gurgling” action right away. This instant start works well with Lee’s Compact Baitfish Buzzer, keeping the prop buzzing quickly above the water.
- Speed Control: Retrieve as slowly as possible while still maintaining that “plop-plop-plop” surface sound. If fish are aggressive, “burn” the bait with a high-speed retrieve. The unique features of the White Baitfish Baby Buzzbait™ allow anglers to maintain a slow speed controlled with ease.
- Deflect Off Cover: Purposefully bump the lure into dock posts, stumps, or weeds to trigger reaction bites. Anglers love how the White Baitfish Baby Buzzbait™ can deflect off cover and entice fish.
- Parallel the Bank: Cast parallel to the shoreline or grass edges to keep your bait in the strike zone longer. By paralleling the bank with a Baby Buzzbait™, you maximize strike potential.
Lees Compact Baitfish Buzzer, Recommended Gear Setup
| Component | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Rod | 7′ to 7’6″ Medium-Heavy bait casting rod with a relatively stiff tip. |
| Reel | High-speed (7.1:1 to 9:1 ratio) to get the precision prop blade spinning quickly. |
| Line | 30–50 lb braided line for strength and zero stretch, which helps with hook sets in cover. |

The key to using the Lee’s Compact Baitfish Buzzer is to imitate an injured, fleeing, or dying baitfish.
Baby Buzzbait™ by Lee Bailey Jr is a world-renowned design. Built with a thin wire and two-wire adjustments. The “oxbow bend” was taken from Bailey’s original Cavitron Buzzbait design. This bend is an engineered modification allowing the bait’s head to ride deeper in the water.
Lee uses 0.35 wire, which has a lot more vibration than the standard 0.51 used on other buzzbaits. With the Baby Buzzbait™, anglers benefit from these innovative modifications.
Lee’s Compact Baitfish Buzzer is most effective in cool to hot weather, especially in the heat of summer. Game fish will crush the topwater buzzer when it’s cast into or near the thickest cover. In particular, Baby Buzzbait™ shines during these warmer months, especially in bright sun situations.
Choosing a baitfish color buzzbait anytime you are fishing in clear water, no matter the time of day.
- Pair with a Trailer: Add a translucent toad or trailer to increase the profile, which improves hook-up ratios.
- Use in Shallow Cover: Focus on fishing near structures such as docks, logs, or weed lines.
- Slow it Down: A baitfish colored buzzbait can be retrieved slowly in cooler water and all day. It is important to keep the lure in the strike zone, a technique often used in the fall and winter.
The Lee’s Compact Baitfish Buzzer is a basic color and is used during bright skies in clear to semi-clear water. The Baby Buzzbait™ also works well when used over thick grass in the middle of the day. If you’re looking for reliability in high-visibility conditions, White Baitfish is always a top choice.
