Description

The Arbogast Jitterbug is the most-respected topwater lure for night fishing, but also power ignites explosive strikes throughout the day. The Jitterbug's double cupped lip, placed at precisely the correct angle, produces the loud, rhythmic, surface-busting sound that is proven to be irresistible to bass, pike and other gamefish. 3" - 5/8 oz.

Field Notes

Use at night or during low-light periods when bass and pike are actively feeding near the surface. Cast to visible cover or along shorelines and work it with steady retrieves and occasional pauses to trigger explosive surface strikes.

Pros

  • Loud, rhythmic surface sound from the double cupped lip
  • Effective for night fishing and daytime surface activity
  • Targets multiple gamefish including bass and pike

Cons

  • Best results rely on surface feeding conditions
  • Requires accurate lure angle and retrieval to maximize sound
