BassFishingMachine Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I seen this lure last time I was at Dicks and wondered whether or not I should buy one to check it out. Im going back to Dicks tomorrow so before I go can you guys tell me if you had any success with this lure? Or am I better off just sticking with the pop-r? Quote
The_Natural Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 One of the best topwaters ever made. They pop, spit, and walk all at the same time. Chug Bugs are a must have in your topwater arsenal Quote
Stringjam Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 One of the best topwaters ever made. They pop, spit, and walk all at the same time. Chug Bugs are a must have in your topwater arsenal A big +1......Chug Bugs are a completely different animal than a Pop-R - you can almost walk them like a Spook. One of the best top-waters in life. 8-) Quote
Triton21 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Whqt Nqturql and String said X 2. They are a great bait. Kelley Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted February 25, 2007 Super User Posted February 25, 2007 Great top waters and they make um 3 diff sizes they excel in choppy water as well as calm water for me anyhow even caught a few crappie with um they love the feather tails, my best bass on top was with a chug bug!!

Daniel My Brother Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Field & Stream had an article recently where they called the Storm Chugbug the number 1 bass lure of all time. I hear George Welcome likes 'em, too. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted February 25, 2007 Super User Posted February 25, 2007 I know the first impression of the chug bug is rather strange but buy some because they definately work and they are not expensive! Quote
Lard_Bass Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 A salesperson last year at Gander Mt told me about the chug bug and how he ran out of stock mid-summer. I found one at Dick's and love it. The Pop-R and Chug Bug are my 2 favorite topwater baits. The one thing I noticed with the Chug Bug is that has more rattling noise. I fish both the Pop-R and Chug Bug with the twitch, twitch, pause method. Both produced very well for me. The one thing I did read is that the chug bug should do better with a little chop on the water. I am curious to see when one decides between a Pop-R and a Chug Bug. Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted February 25, 2007 Author Posted February 25, 2007 Wow, I didn't expect so much positive feedback on this lure. Looks like im definetly going to have to check this one out. What are some good colors with this lure? Quote
Super User T-rig Posted February 25, 2007 Super User Posted February 25, 2007 I find that the color is not really that important but i do replace the original hooks with owners. Quote
Lard_Bass Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I don't think color matters either. The one I found at Dick's was Natural Perch and used it in all water types. I bought a shad colored one over the winter at a Wally World that had it. I have the 1/4 oz versions. Quote
victory23 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 hands down this is my favorite lure I fish with the perch or bullfrog color Quote
wapitiman Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I dont know about bass, but false albacore off the S.C. coast CRUSH them. Quote
justfishin Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 This is a must have bait for your arsenal. They excel in stained and dirty water. Although, my favorite chug type bait is a Rico the Chug Bug is a producer. Quote
Floridabassking352 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 You guys need to specify which lure you're talking about. Is it the regular Chug Bug or is it the Rattlin' Chug Bug? Quote
Lard_Bass Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Rattlin Chug Bug. I think that's all they make these days: http://www.stormlures.com/products/index.cfm Quote
