Questions & Answers
Straight answers from the Squad on the Tuggin' Bug.
What is the Googan Baits Tuggin' Bug?
The Tuggin' Bug is a 4" creature bait built for heavy cover. Its bulky, compact body slides through grass, mats and timber, while its oversized claws create a powerful thump and move serious water. A ribbed body adds even more presence. It's infused with Slaunch Sauce scent, and each pack includes 7 baits.
How do you rig the Tuggin' Bug?
Texas rig it with a bullet weight and a flipping hook to flip and pitch laydowns, docks and grass, or peg a heavier weight to drag it through thick mats. It also makes a bulky, thumping jig trailer on flipping jigs.
What's the difference between the Tuggin' Bug and the Bandito Bug?
Both are Googan creature baits. The Tuggin' Bug has a bulkier, compact body and oversized claws built for heavy cover and maximum thump. The Bandito Bug has a ribbed body with V-Ridge flanged legs for a kicking action, and it's more versatile across Texas rigs, Carolina rigs and jig trailers.
What are the best Tuggin' Bug colors?
Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red and Delta Craw look natural in clear water. Alabama Craw, California Craw, Okeechobee Craw and Florida Flipper are great in stained water. Black Blue Flake, June Bug, Bama Bug and Black and Bruised give a strong silhouette in muddy water and heavy cover.
When and where does the Tuggin' Bug work best?
The Tuggin' Bug shines from spring through fall anywhere big bass bury up in heavy cover. Flip it into thick grass and mats, pitch it to laydowns and brush, and work it around wood and rock.
