BUZZ-Jewel 

The Buzz Jewel started as the Tennessee Thrasher buzz bait. In the late 60's early 70's Bill developed the blade and style shown here, to create a very slow all metal, buzz bait. To this day is still the favorite of many!

Billy's Buzz Devil

Billy's Buzz Devil is a must for Doodle-Pole fishing. It can be moved across the surface with ease on a long pole with about a 3-4 ft leader. When the fish explodes on it, you best have a good hold on the pole. Fun and exciting to say the least, better get started long pole fishing when the bite is slow.

A Little Jewel it is, this lure along with the Buzz Jewel, help Billy qualify for a few BASS Masters Classics as well as numerous Tennessee State Championships, made of all metal frame, it is the slowest retrievable spinner bait you'll ever tie on your line!

Sweet-Sue Jig

Sweet-Sue Jig was named after Ms. Sue, Billy's wonderful wife. The jig is very weedless and fishes like most swim jigs, With the Colorado blade it has vibration and flash to attract the bass from the heaviest cover. It's another great lure from TOBPL.. Get you a few and get to catching those fish buried up in the structure. 

TOBPL carries wide variety of Old School Flat Rubber Skirts and Bio-Flex Skirts (they look and perform just like the OS Rubber) See the store for the list of colors.

We have banded silicone skirts as well in a variety of colors for your jigs and spinnerbaits as well.
