Description

The Skimmer Bug is 1 inch in length with 16 legs and a tantalizing fan tail. We have had great success on crappies when paired up with a 4mm tungsten teardrop jig.

Field Notes

Use the Skimmer Bug on a small jig (the listing mentions a 4mm tungsten teardrop jig) to target crappies. Cast or drop to crappie holding areas and work it with a light jigging motion to keep the fan tail active.

Pros

  • Small 1-inch profile ideal for crappies
  • 16 legs and fan tail create strong movement in the water
  • Designed to be paired with a jig for effective presentation

Cons

  • Requires a jig to fish (not a complete lure system by itself)
