The Gene Larew Biffle Bug is an innovative and effective soft plastic lure designed for catching a variety of game fish. Its distinct creature-style bait profile can be utilized in a multitude of fishing techniques, making it a versatile addition to any angler's tackle box.
The Biffle Bug's solid head ensures a sturdy hook placement, optimizing hooksets, while its hollow body can be filled with additional sensory attractants like glass rattles or scent. The unique blackberry sapphire color adds a visually appealing element to the lure, which, combined with other features like vibration and scent, makes it irresistible to predatory fish.
Upon retrieval, the Biffle Bug's dynamic swimming action comes alive. It is engineered with features that enhance its movement underwater:
- Two swimming legs with foot pads for an active kicking motion.
- A textured body with ridges and six micro-pulsating tentacles on the sides that give it a natural feel and appearance.
- A flexible convex tail that delivers a wagging, swaying motion analogous to authentic aquatic creatures.
This lure excels when used with the Gene Larew Biffle HardHead jig for a jig-and-pig setup, which is particularly effective in mimicking a crawfish on the lakebed. The lure's specific weight optimizes bottom contact, which is pivotal for stimulating reaction strikes from bass and other species in rocky or structured environments.
The versatility of the Gene Larew Biffle Bug extends beyond a single application; it can be adapted to suit the angler's needs. Below are some alternate rigging methods:
- Texas rigging for weedless presentations.
- Carolina rigging for deeper water or more finesse presentations.
- Attachment to a stand-up head for a bottom-bouncing action.
- Used as a jig trailer for added motion and bulk to jigs.
