Best matches
Why these fit
If you’re looking for a black lure, these are the strongest matches across fly, tube, jerkbait, and finesse options.
Technique notes
- For the Woolly Bugger, strip it, swing it, or dead-drift it in moving water; it also works along drop-offs in still water.
- Fish the tube with flips or pitches tight to cover, or drag/jig it slowly along bottom.
- Work the jerk minnow with twitch-and-pause retrieves to get darting and gliding action.
- Rig the Midnight Black on a Ned head or light jighead and keep it near bottom with small hops.
- Use the black/chart tubes on a jighead when you want a more visible bait in stained water.
When to switch
- Switch to the Woolly Bugger if you’re targeting trout, panfish, or mixed-species water.
- Switch to the Flipp'n Tube if bass are buried in heavy cover.
- Switch to the Jerk Minnow if fish are chasing baitfish or you need a more active retrieve.
- Switch to the Midnight Black if fish want a subtle bottom presentation.
- Switch to the black/chart tubes when water is dirty, cloudy, or low light.
