The Gene Larew Biffle Bug in Green Pumpkin Candy is popular among bass fishing enthusiasts for its multi-faceted applications and proven catch record. This innovative soft plastic lure has become a go-to bait due to its combination of features inspired by top-performing baits across the industry.
The design of the Gene Larew Biffle Bug features a solid head which is essential for a durable hook set. The solidity ensures that when you rig it, the hook stays securely in place. The remainder of the lure's body is strategically hollow, which opens the door for creative rigging opportunities including the insertion of glass rattles or scented attractants to stimulate bites through both sound and scent cues—a key factor in murky water or when targeting scent-oriented species.
The two swimming legs of the Biffle Bug boast special foot pads, which have been meticulously engineered to produce a lifelike kicking action that closely mimics live prey in the water. Covering the body are ridges that enhance the bait's texture, providing a more natural feel that can fool even the wariest of predators, while the six micro-pulsating tentacles offer additional subtle vibrations. Plus, the bait's flexible convex tail gives an extra kick of movement, making it an irresistible target on the retrieve.
When it comes to rigging, the versatility of the Biffle Bug shines. One of the most effective methods is pairing it with a Gene Larew Biffle HardHead Jig, particularly when imitating a crawfish along the bottom. Selecting a weight that allows consistent bottom contact without being too heavy is crucial. This setup, often referred to as the “Biffle Bug technique,” is known for its ability to induce strikes, especially when the jig makes contact with structure and deflects unpredictably, which can resemble a fleeing or disoriented prey item.
Beyond this, the Biffle Bug isn't a one-trick pony. The same bait can be Texas rigged, Carolina rigged, fitted on a stand-up head, or used as a dynamic trailer for a jig. Each presentation offers a different look and potential strategic advantage under various fishing conditions, helping anglers adapt to activity levels, cover types, and the preferences of local fish.
