Super User Felix77 Posted April 18, 2013 Super User Posted April 18, 2013 Has anyone try this crazy looking topwater bait? There isn't even video's of it online anywhere. Curious about it effectiveness. Thanks Quote
Dyerbassman Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I saw it advertised, too. I've always had luck tossing the ol' Jitterbug, and would be interested in trying one out. Lurenet is the only place that I've seen them. Quote
ghost Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 I bought 2 from BPS. Its about an ounce and casts farther than a traditional buzz bait. It has like a 3/0 frog hook, I changed out to a size 2 treble hook. It buzzes on top and has slight body roll. You can stop at a submerged weed patch hole and twitch like a popper. With all that said...I've not caught on the lure yet. I bought both last month,not quite the right timing for using it, but wanted to check out the action. Quote
Bass Junkie Posted April 18, 2013 Posted April 18, 2013 It's certainly unique..... http://images.cabelas.com/is/image/cabelas/s7_134416_005_01?rgn=0,0,1952,1072&scl=5.136842105263158&fmt=jpeg&id=1cMFga14sUKked1m13DdmA Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted April 18, 2013 Author Super User Posted April 18, 2013 looks like a pinched off turd with a prop Describes it perfectly! Lol Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted May 9, 2013 Author Super User Posted May 9, 2013 Picked one up yesterday. I will update you on anything I uncover when tossing it around. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted May 28, 2013 Super User Posted May 28, 2013 My buddy nailed a fatty on it.. and I've got 6 fish so far on it.. I like it Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 This thing is deadly. The new sleeper bait. Quote

craww Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Had a a good evening Saturday, catching 7 bass, with a couple 4-5lbers on it. I like them, something different in topwaters always appealing to me....Heck if they had $2.00 worth of better hardware/paint and were from Japan they could go for $30 lol. Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 EXTREMELY versatile but like every bait, there is a sweet spot. I found it last night. Even though yo can creep it.....in the weeds.....out in the open,....burp it, burn it or jerk buzz it, it's BEST used in a decent chop if your water is anywhere near the clarity of ours here in RI. I was fishing the slammer last night with the perfect slight chop on top that the fish like, hides the bait just right,..but then the wind kicked up those couple of mph that make the slammer disappear,....THATS when I threw this on, something that would stand out in a small-med chop. I managed to land 5 fish in short time with a miss that had me gasping,....can't wait to play with this one a little more Quote
POPRG Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 i'm sold..had it in my hands 4-5-6 times the past few months,only to put it back! looks like a friggin' spinning clam shell with a cheap 2-point tin hook,but now i will buy one..die monkey...die! Quote
swanseabass Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Try my today for the 1st time and got nothing. Going to try again on another day. Hopefully with better luck. Quote
Super User bigbill Posted July 29, 2013 Super User Posted July 29, 2013 It's skill in fishing not luck. Luck is at the casino. When I try a new lure that's not working I focus on my hand that's turning the reel crank to make sure I'm making an even circle. If not the lure goes fast then slow. It has to be an even speed, the fish do see Flaws in our presentations. In my experiences with new lures I find that they do work good on average. I fish the same places over and over I feel the fish do learn our lures. When we throw something different or new it's game on again. I purchased 4 of these last month and gave some to the kids I haven't heard about the results yet. Quote
Super User deaknh03 Posted August 5, 2013 Super User Posted August 5, 2013 I used mine for the first time Sunday. Slight chop on the water, seems perfect for this thing, especially after the splashdown it makes when it hits the water. I didnt catch anything on it, but it seems like its gonna work when the time is right. Nice buzzing action, and a fat profile from underneath. Quote
Preytorien Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Just got one of these in a gift exchange, it sure is odd looking, but then again so are many of our baits! Ha! Can't wait to try it out! Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted December 22, 2013 Author Super User Posted December 22, 2013 Have one ... Tried it a few with no success thus far. Quote
doyle8218 Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 Lets not forget the Hula Popper and Jitterbug probably caught more fish than another 2 lures over the years. Quote
Super User geo g Posted December 28, 2013 Super User Posted December 28, 2013 I have had one for almost a year. I have caught fish on them but always in shallow weedy areas in early morning or late evening. Lots of surface noise, totally weedless. Fun to throw even In strong wind. Part of the arsenal! Quote
WhiteMike1018 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 wow arbogast marketing is pretty bad lol Quote
KenG85 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 I did some experimenting. My spro frogs have a 3/0 gammy. Definitely smaller than that. I have a couple booyah pad crasher jrs and Basspro says they have a 2/0. Still a bit smaller than that. So I think its 1/0. Maybe someone can confirm. Quote
lwh008 Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Looks like someone has been watching the Bill Dance reruns on NBC Sports... It's hard to ignore whenever he is always catching pigs on the show! I have used it and have caught two 4 pounders. It's a pretty good sized bait so it probably intimidates smaller fish. Quote
