snake95 Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 I might be the only one who cares, but it appears the Mighty Bug is being discontinued. Only one color and size left on the Yum and Lurenet sites. There used to be more sizes, but they whittled down to one last year. I have a small stockpile; started off as one of my first plastics, catch fish on them on T-rigs and also fished on surface as toad substitutes. Not too durable but they worked for me. 1 Quote
heavyduty Posted February 14, 2018 Posted February 14, 2018 Has always been a great smallmouth plastic for me. Hate to see it discontinued 2 Quote

heavyduty Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 I believe you are correct. Google search found that Yum stopped making them back in 2015 and it's just taken this long to move through the stock. 1 Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted February 15, 2018 Global Moderator Posted February 15, 2018 I've bought several packs in the bargain bin at Wal-Mart. Never had much luck with them but I know guys that do. Quote

Steveo-1969 Posted February 20, 2018 Posted February 20, 2018 3 or 4 summers ago the 3" YUM Mighty Bug was my best river smallmouth producer. Either T-rigged or on a jig head. I have a couple bags of larger Bugs but I haven't fished one in a couple years. Loved that 3" bait though! 1 Quote

Fishingmickey Posted May 1, 2019 Posted May 1, 2019 I have used the Yum 3" wooly hawg tail gp for Guadalupe bass on the river here and they love them. FM Quote

Better take care of em Interested to see this post resurrected. I bought a bunch of packs in my first year fishing them from TW and Lurenet. The primary downside I found is that they are not very durable. The upside is that they are extremely effective as topwater toads. (Yep, I know they are craws). No longer surfacing in Walmarts that I check out. I think the stock is pretty well exhausted. I will miss the bait, but others will suffice. Quote
