Buzz Bombs fished correctly is one heck of a lure. I've caught 100's of big springers dead drifting (yes, dead drifting) them down a deep slot in a certain river canyon. Seeing fish react to it in clear water is impressive. I've seen a group of coho go ape sh(t crazy before one of them finally nailed it.

The bumpers are necessary to both protect the knot as well as protect the bomb. A hard bead can cut your knot with the bomb banging on it. Switch out the treble for a siwash.
