The ideal bait for targeting clear water or pressured fish, the Sukoshi Bug pairs perfectly with any Ned Rig style jighead. The ribbed body design combined with it's eight dangling tentacles allows for a slower rate of fall compared to your typical ned rig bait. The added ridges and tentacles give the bait extra action on the way down while also serving as little pockets to store fish attracting scent.

In addition to the ned rig, try rigging the Sukoshi Bug on the back of a finesse jig or while fishing a mini finesse Carolina Rig (AKA The Mojo Rig). The added buoyancy from the Stretch-X plastic keeps the Sukoshi Bug floating which is ideal on either set-up. The ability to float while at rest helps the Sukoshi Bug mimic the defensive posture of a crawfish which bass really seem to like.

Spinning tackle will be the best option for both castability and sensitivity when fishing this bait. I like to use 10-15lb braided main line attached to a 6-8 pound fluorocarbonleader. The added castability and sensitivity from the braid help me detect bites and bottom contour with ease. The abrasion resistance and clear nature of the fluorocarbon fishing line help prevent break offs and spooking finicky fish. Any good drop shot or hair jig rod will work well with this bait.
