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 active bottom/near-structure presentations, or use it on a drop shot. It also works under a float above spawning panfish, and with a long pole to slowly let it fall near submerged weeds or structure.

Pros

  • Long legs create strong action
  • Good size for panfish like bluegills and crappie
  • Versatile rigging: jig head, drop shot, or under a float

Cons

  • Requires pairing with a jig head or rig for best results
