JediAmoeba Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 @Smells like fish you need the musky sized one! I have 2 of those and I have never hooked a musky on one, but caught some huge bass on them in my younger days Quote

If you see any good deals on some in black lemme know. Did it come in a jointed model? Quote

oysterk Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 Got em today! Two colors. @JediAmoeba @Smells like fish any suggestions on good treble hooks split rings for these guys? Would like to get some better hooks on 'em Quote
JediAmoeba Posted May 30, 2020 Posted May 30, 2020 For that size I believe I run owner hyper wire size 3 and size 4 short shank hooks. I run short shank because the added split ring makes the hooks hang too far with standard length hooks. Quote

Great minds think alike. You know the 5/8 comes with 1/0 hooks. I bought these Owner Stingers in 1/0 but won't work. So are you gonna go as small as 4's? I'm gonna go buy 2 sizes either a 1/0 short shank and a #1 short shank or I may get pack of #1's and 2's owner stingers standard shank. 2 Quote
Smells like fish Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 This 5/8oz Jitterbug has size 3 Owner Hyper Wire rings, size 1 Owner short shank PPP hook (STY-35) on the front and a size 2 Owner Stinger (ST-36) on the back. It looks good to me but if going to buy again I'd got the #2 hook in a ST-35. I added a little bend to the side of the lip and will adjust as needed. I never opened the rear eye nor removed any screws and simply cut off the factory hooks. 1 Quote

Smells like fish Posted August 17, 2020 Posted August 17, 2020 Has anybody done any jittering? I used it couple hours the other night after midnight but no takers on any topwater only on Senkos. Threw both the 5/8 and 3/8 sizes with adjusted lips and the 3/8 wasn't that bad just more subtle of splish splashing which may be what it's all about anyways. Have you seen the Jitterbug 2.0 listed @JediAmoeba I wonder how it'll work with that big feather trailer. If I'm not mistaken TW only had it in 3/8. You threw your Jitterbugs any this year? 1 Quote
JediAmoeba Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 Yeah, I spent a few hours with it and caught a dink. That sound though is so nostalgic as it creeps closer to you in the pitch black night. 1 Quote
