muskietom51 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 Anybody have any info On building these, I'm going to try a larger version for muskie fishing. The lips I have are big do I want the back of the bug to sit low if so wheres a starting point to add weigh to the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatnik13 Posted January 12, 2004 Report Share Posted January 12, 2004 SOLID BODY or JOINTED? either way you need the rear to be heavier to bring the nose up.If its a jointed lure . don't weight the jointed tip.Just add it to the rear of the main body. On most jitterbugs > a heavy leader alone can take out the action. Thats why I only use mono line and I loose alot. The jitterbug must have the front action.Using a jointed tail gives added action and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
