Description

Take the classic strike-producing action and sound of the legendary Jitterbug lip and add the tail-wagging action of a jointed lure and you've got action at both ends to attract big bass, pike and other gamefish. The motion of the jointed tail creates a frantic swimming action that provokes lookers into striking. The jointed Jitterbug can be fished slowly to produce the rhythmic plopping sound or quickly to create a more-frantic look.

Field Notes

Cast to visible cover and work the lure with a steady retrieve. For a slower, plopping sound, use a slower cadence; for more aggressive strikes, speed up to create a frantic jointed tail action.

Pros

  • Jointed tail creates strong, frantic swimming action
  • Produces classic Jitterbug lip sound plus tail-wagging movement
  • Can be worked slow for rhythmic plops or fast for higher attraction

Cons

  • Best results depend on correct retrieve speed and cadence
  • Topwater action can be less effective in very cold, deep, or low-visibility conditions
