Super User fourbizz Posted February 12, 2008 Super User Posted February 12, 2008 10.99 for a pack of 5. They are not extremely durable. I really only use them as a panic/sight/speical occasion bait. They have saved the skunk numerous times for me. But on those wide open days, I would recomend something a little tougher/cheaper Quote

sigep1967 Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 I have some clear water rocky banked watersheds that I think these might work well in. d**n baitmonkey ;D ;D Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 Do you do anything special to keep them from tearing up? How long will they last. I rig it on pro-spot remover 1/8 to 3/16 oz. Copied from the site:The Pre-rigged Huddle-bug comes in eight colors and features the "Huddleston external weight system". Hooks are NOT included! You can order the Mustad #6 drop shot hooks.The Huddle-bug weighs 1/8 oz and is 2 3/4" long IMO as to the durability, I have had days where I've used one all day and others where I'll go through 2 or 3. Like I said I have had the same bug's over a year. Granted I have lost some in that time yet who hasn't lost a few in a days worth of fishing. The only week point would be the front claws and when it's time to fill the live well I'm not worried about losing a $2 lure. $10.99 per pack 5 in a pack =$2.20 per bug well worth it IMO...Especially when I think about all the pickerel swimming around with a shiny new $15 lucky craft lip ring!

fisher of bass Posted February 13, 2008 Posted February 13, 2008 thank you burley and bassectomy, another question do you take the weights that come with them off when using the spot remover?? tia Quote
HOIST-N-HAWGS Posted February 13, 2008 Author Posted February 13, 2008 thank you burley and bassectomy, another question do you take the weights that come with them off when using the spot remover?? tia Your welcome anytime! Yes, remove weights when using the spot! Pinch the bug (w/thumb on the underside ontop of wire insert) and your finger ontop. With your other hand grab the weights (remember to keep pinching) and slowly pull horizontally towards the tail of the craw. Not a big deal comes out fairly easy this way. They at one point were selling them w/and w/o wieghts and wish they still did. Don't over look the way Huddelston recommends rigging it either:RECOMMENDATIONS: Rig the Huddle-bug from the underside. Go through the eyelet of the wire harness and out of the top between the eyes w/a Mustad #6 drop shot hook. When pitching or dragging through the thick stuff I'll use a weedless hook like the Gamma's weedless Finesse Hooks. Quote
