Buzzers as in carp fishing, like children, great if they are yours, annoying if they are anyone elses.

 

Buzzers, as in pike fishing, great surface lures when the summer is here.

[Waveney One]

Buzzers as in trout fishing the pupal stage of midges, usually fished on a floating line with a long leader and retrieved very slowly in a figure of eight movement.

Buzzers, old term for bite alarms (used to utilise simple magnetic vibrating coil and metal arm type thingies (door bells) I made a few in the 1950's

 

Trout fishing, refers to the Chironomids when hovering over the water (evening rise) and a distinct buzzing can be heard, specially if there are a few thousand of them

But Peter - I know from having been told on here year after year after year that buzzbaits will not catch fish in the UK.

 

OK, OK, so no body told that to the pike at Wingham this past Spring and they bit but they certainly weren't supposed to
