This is an old one, created by Dan Gapen Sr. in 1969. It was first created as a walleye jig for river fishing, but quickly became popular as a bass lure also. A crawfish, helgramite imitation. These are still available in several colors and weights from 1/32 on up to saltwater sizes. The Ugly Bug has always looked like a good fish catcher. It's one of those baits I always wanted to try, but never did. If you've used the Gapen Ugly Bug, what were your best colors, weights, and retrieves?
