Description

The BAIT BUSTER, this is a fish catching machine! The Bait Buster is 4-1/4" long, available in four styles: SHALLOW RUNNER: 5/8 oz. with 5/0 hook. A single hook upright offers a medium sink rate and may be fished as a surface lure, or mid-range or on the bottom. DEEP RUNNER: 3/4 oz. with 5/0 Mustad hook, line entry is on the top of the head which keeps the lure sub-surface, great for bouncing off the bottom. TROLLING: 7/8 oz. with 5/0 Mustad hook, excellent for deeper water trolling, fantastic for casting into water 5 feet or deeper. SUPER HEAVY TROLLING: 1.4 oz and is built on a 6/0 Mustad Extra Heavy Ultra Point Hook.

Field Notes

This is a weighted soft-plastic-style jig bait designed to be cast, bounced, or trolled near the bottom. The deep runner version is especially suited to deeper water and bottom contact, while the line entry keeps it running sub-surface for a steady presentation.

Pros

  • Good bottom-bouncing profile
  • Can be cast or trolled
  • Single-hook design helps reduce snags

Cons

  • Limited to a fairly specific presentation
  • Not ideal for true topwater use
