Best ways to fish it (demo)

Swim Jig Trailer Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot Natural subtle glides
Description
Link to custom color order form
Length
3.25" Big Time Bug creature profile built to cover water without feeling bulky.
Best for
Largemouth and smallmouth, with the right size for spotted bass and aggressive river fish.
Style
Ribbed bug body with two swimming tails and small “kick” legs for extra vibration.
Where it shines
Grass edges, laydowns, docks, and rock transitions—anywhere you want a compact profile with movement.
Easy mistake to avoid: rigging it too far up the hook. Leave a little tail freedom and keep the body straight—this bait’s best action happens on the fall and the first two hops.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Compact creature, big presence

Texas rig (light to mid weight)

Pitch, fall, and let it work
  • Rig it straight and let it fall on semi-slack line so the tails can open up naturally.
  • Hop it twice, then pause—most bites happen when it’s doing “nothing.”
  • When you feel pressure, lean into the fish first, then finish the hookset.
A clean fall plus a short pause reads like a bug settling in, and bass commit hard.

Creature trailer (compact jig)

Make a small jig look alive
  • Thread it so the body sits snug behind the skirt without bunching.
  • Swim it slowly along cover, then pop it free when you tick grass or wood.
  • Mix short drags with quick “shake and stop” moments on bottom.
The tails and legs add motion at crawl speed, so the jig stays convincing all the way back.

Carolina rig (slow drag)

Cover flats and transitions
  • Drag it steadily until you feel rock, shell, or a bottom change, then pause.
  • After the pause, give one short pull to “re-start” the bait and repeat.
  • When a fish loads up, keep reeling until the rod bends, then sweep.
This is a search tool that still feels finesse—perfect for finding the first active fish.
Pour & profile: Ribbed 3.25" creature bait with twin tails and small appendages for steady action on slow falls.
