SQUIDGY BUGS

Bass and bream spend a lot of their time lying deep in the snags — looking upwards and watching for terrestrial animals that have fallen in the water, or prawns that might be quietly trying to get from Point A to Point B without being eaten. The new Squidgy Bug is designed to emulate these critters and has added a whole new dimension to Squidgy fishing in Australia.

When rigged on a single wide-gape worm hook, Squidgy Bugs are heavy enough to be cast on ultra-light finesse gear and are brilliant for surface presentations deep into those riverbank snags, across the top of oyster racks, and other shallow water situations.

Their fat ‘buggy’ shape adds to their buoyancy and their tails flutter upwards at slow speeds. They are slightly larger than the tails found on Squidgy Wrigglers, so they create a remarkable amount of surface disturbance. Hold the rod tip high and paddle the Squidgy Bug across the surface and you’ll soon agree that it’s a sight no bass or bream can refuse. The surface takes are quite spectacular!

Squidgy Bugs measure 70 millimetres in length, have a pair of suitably bug-like eyes and are available in five ‘prawn-like’ colours — Casper, Bloodworm, Jelly Prawn, Avocado and Frostbite.

For traditionalists, Squidgy Bugs can also be fished sub-surface, perhaps rigged on one of the new Finesse jig heads. Hopped or crawled across the bottom, few fish will pass them up.
