I have a few and I think they're good lures. They attract fish and are easy to get the zig-zag action you want from a walking lure. However, I don't use them often for no other reason than I don't use walking lures that often because I'm so into Jitterbugs. But when I do use the walkers, it's these or the Super Spook Jr. Go for it, you can't go wrong if you like to walk the dog.

Awesome bait. Much easier to walk the dog with this than the original Spook or the Sammy IMHO.

Size of the bait and finish really does a god job imitating threadfin shad around my area.

A++ bait.

Its pretty neat looking,and I'm sure will get the job done.I havent caught anything on mine yet.I havent put enough time into it yet,I think.Im too much into my spooks usually.

I have a good 15 of the Heddon Spittin Image lures.  

They have a different action than sammies or spooks do.  They have a rolling action as they walk.  

I like to throw them at night and want to fish a walking bait.  

They are also good when you want a little more action from a walking bait.  You can pop them out of the water to make it look like scared forage to a bass.   But the fancy stuff is tricky to do with any measure of consistancy.

Simply - The work great

[Cory20]

i really enjoy those guys too.  you can really get them to walk, splutter, and flip out of the water.  smallies love em too!

[Guest muddy]

I use them with great results.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

My deadliest "twitch" bait.  I don't use it as a walking bait, strictly a twitch bait.

I too, like Marty, have been all over the Jbug so much that other topwaters are playing second string lately but the image is up there in my top 10 for sure.

[Crestliner2008]

Great lure for smallies in rivers too!

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Question:Which size are you guys using???The spitn image or the JR.

I got 2 of the jr size but havent put much time in with them yet.

[Guest muddy]

Got one Jr for ponds and a few of the larger ones for the lakes

[jrhennecke]

I ues the jr sized ones on the river over the weeds when the tide is up.

AWESOME LURE!!! I'm the kinda guy who finds what he likes and sticks to it. This is one of my top baits!!

[GobbleDog]

In calm water my goto topwater bait is the Zara Puppy. But if there's a light wind and I feel like throwing a topwater, the Spit'n Image Jr is the bait I tie on. I've caught countless bass with it, but I don't care so much for the bigger sized Spit'n Image.

ok this sounds like a  good bait. i might pick one up if i see one (dont think i have).

so is it more of a walking bait or does it have lots of other attractive action (jumping splashing diving popping etc) that other walking baits dont have?

Walk it some AND then pause it is how I use it.  And throw in a couple random twiches here and there.

As with all topwater baits - shorter pauses in choppy water, but MUCH longer pauses in calm water.

[Low_Budget_Hooker]

I use the regular size but wish they made a bigger one.

[Big-O]

I like the way they walk and fish like them too.

Sounds to me like you just gotta play with it,just like any topwaters,thats what makes them fun sometimes.Rod position,length of pauses,over all speed,length of twitches,and amount of slack put in the line,all give a different attitude.

I was messin with mine this morning ,and I kinda like it,pretty cool. I didnt get anything on it though.I couldnt put a topwater bite together today to save my arse. :'(

X2!!!

I can't get touched on the jr. but the full size in the Pumpkinseed pattern is my #1 producing topwater.  

[FivePoundBluegill]

I have the spitin image jr, the poppin image jr, and the swimmin image. I have been able to catch a few bass on all three but do not use them often.
