fishhunter named my favorite brand... chatterbuzz. These baits have a flat head that skims the water better, but more importantly they are designed so that the buzz blade strikes the head on each rotation.

As for colors, on KY and Barkley I prefer white or chartruese/white, unless it is low light, then I like the black version.

Now all that said, I don't fish a buzzbait much either. I don't like throwing them. Just a little something wrong with me I guess. I don't even get excited when I do catch bass on them, well not the way others seem too. I've bought several different brands, blade types, etc... even bought a dual blade based upon a report right before I went once this year, still no great deal for me.

I think the main reason is that I believe these to be shallow water baits, and I really don't fish that shallow that much. I don't fish real deep either, but I've always read that buzzbaits are best in 3=4 feet of water. I'm sure though others will tell you they are much more versital than that, and you will get a lot more great suggestions.
