thelatrobe33 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hey all! I've been on the soft plastics side forever, but I have a question for the hard bait guys... I love to fish a jitterbug, but as I get more critical of my equipment I no longer have the confidence in it I once did. These things are just made like garbage anymore!!! The hardware is all crap, and the jointed ones fall apart incessantly. Does anyone make a similar lipped topwater that utilizes high quality components??? Thanks in advance!

Salty's Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 google "scuttlebugger" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelatrobe33 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thanks for the info! I will be ordering the CLU lures version to try (even though it's crazy expensive). Really wishing that Scuttlebugger was of a more appropriate LMB size saltybugger! I don't own a rod that will toss a 2 oz. lure! A 1 oz. version would be killer!

thelatrobe33 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Sounds good. I'll pick a couple up and give 'em a try. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontPhisher Posted May 24, 2010 Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 This is all great info. Why not also trying to make one yourself. I love making these baits and I overbuild them just in case a pike takes a bite. Janns netcraft sells stainless jitter lips and tbe bodies. you still have to carve a notch on the body for the lip. Play around with different angles. You can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
