Bigwormy - what you say is true, the hook up ratio does tend to be better on a buzzer and often they blow up on a buzzer too. When they jump on top of a surface lure or charge it viciously as they tend with the Sammy they often miss. When I am seriously chasing them on top I will have both tied on and switch between to gauge their mood.

Another positive of buzzer fishing is you move it more quickly so you cover more water. Put that trolling motor on constant and just burn down the bank. But I still love the Sammy bite not only for the drama but I think it often triggers fish that may not react to a different lure. Can't go wrong either way...
