Buggs

Post by Rob R »

I'm a fan of Buggs lures especially since they are made in TX. Can't wait to try these out next summer.

I agree Buggs makes some really good lures. Looks like those would work year round if presented right.

I carry the Double Bunny Jig and Permital Bug; mostly throwing the Double Bunny sightcasting to redfish. Great lures.

About 4 years ago Shoffer and I attended the big Fishing Show at George Brown Convention Center. We found the BUGGS Lure booth, talked with the owner, and bought some of his best marsh lures. I liked the black ones.

They were expertly made with fine feathers, threads and hackles, but not cheap. Sad to report I never got a bite on my BUGGS, but know that Shoffer caught some slot Reds on his.

What makes most of his redfish lures easy to fish with is the fine feathers and rabbit hair he uses which moves with the water. You can at times just leave it sitting on the bottom like live or dead bait or drag is on the bottom slowly and catch fish due to the movement of the hair and feathers as the water moves from current. Really good lure to use when slow presentation is needed.

Advice to the Buggs crowd: The rabbit skin that they use soaks up saltwater. After use in the briny, they need to be soaked in fresh water, or the hooks can rust completely away. I complained and they sent me four replacements for the cost of two. Good folks. TexasJim

Jim, that's probably the biggest advantage to traveling distance when you fish the coast.
When you get home after a few days or a week in the salt, Everything gets a bath. Boat inside and out.

Lure boxes get stacked up in the spare bathroom until they can get sorted and washed in the tub.

That's a great idea. I always wash them off at the end of the day with tap water.
