Description

Scuttle Bugs measure 1 3/8" overall, the bodies are 3/16" thick, 3/4" long and 1/4" wide at the head. The long legs give these baits some amazing action. These plastics pair nicely with a 1/32 oz short shank jig head. These are big enough that bluegills will hammer them without repeated deep hook sets, and crappie love them too. Very effective when fished under a float above spawning panfish, with a drop shot rig, or using a long pole and letting it slowly fall near submerged structure or weeds. 12 Per Pack

Field Notes

Fish the Scuttle Bug on a small jig head (listed: 1/32 oz) for a natural, leg-driven action. It also works under a float above spawning panfish, or on a drop shot. Let it slowly fall near submerged structure or weeds, especially around spawning beds.

Pros

  • Long legs create strong scuttle/leg action
  • Good for panfish like bluegills and crappie
  • Versatile presentation: float, drop shot, or slow fall near cover
  • Sized to get bites without needing repeated deep hook sets

Cons

  • Requires a jig head or rigging system (not included)
  • Best performance depends on slow, controlled presentations near cover
