Super User Muddy Posted August 10, 2008 Super User Posted August 10, 2008 He wanted to see what the other fellas had to say. Theres a lot of knowledge around here, TOO BAD NONE OF IT COMES FROM RI btw Mook: Dont throw those leaky bugs out. A lot of time the issue is with the screws holding in the hook hangers. I got a fix for that from Elaine: Clear Nail Polish! 8-) Quote
Sharkbite Posted August 10, 2008 Author Posted August 10, 2008 #1 When fishing a buzzbait, you close the bail BEFORE the lure hits the water so you are already in your first few rotations when it does. The bait will be immediately on plane. This is where it needs to be to work.#2. Jitterbugs have to be "tuned" - the cup in front has to be bent in a certain way. If it was loaded in a tackle box and then the lid s closed on it, it can flatten out the cup and you never even knew it. (think of it as placing the bait on the dinner table,,,sitting as it would in the water. Now with your palm, press down on it against the table. See what happens to the bill? It needs to be bent back to make more of a cup shape.) -The j-bug, unlike a b-bait, will not sink. If you arehaving trouble getting it on top so it can gurgle, throw it away, it has a leak. Since they started making them from plastic, this happens. Don't be discouraged,....get another, keep chuckin' (Muddy,...help the guy out will ya? Stop stepping on his j-bugs and adding lead to the shafts of his cavitrons,....Geeeeez, whatta Mook) Ok so I am going to head out to the Delaware in the next couple of nights to see if I can get this buzz thing down. When I get home I will check my J bug. I have it in a plano box and i think I have squeezed it in there B4 thanks LB Hooker Quote
