Rebel Lures Crickhopper Fishing Lure
Anglers perk up with anticipation when they see a flying insect hit the water. They know the bee, fly or wasp likely only has moments left before becoming a snack for the predators swimming below. Tiny wave rings expand outward as the insect struggles, an action that helps seal the bug's fate. The surface disturbance alerts fish like the sound of a dinner bell, and in no time a bass, bluegill or other fish comes up from below and engulfs the insect. It's the same with the Rebel Bumble Bug.
The Rebel Bumble Bug presents the perfect insect-shaped profile to predator fish swimming below. It even has a pair of buggy wings, and the paint jobs replicate the exact looks of a bumble bee, lady bug, horse fly, June bug and a hornet. Also available is the Fire Bug, which can imitate any number of different flying insects. The Bumble Bug measures 1 1/2-inches in length and weighs just 7/64-ounce, so ultralight rods and reels and light line is suggested for successful fishing.
The Rebel Bumble Bug is an effective lure for all species of bass, bluegills and other panfish, plus just about anything else that swims in creeks, rivers, ponds and lakes. Equipped with a diving lip, the Bumble Bug works double duty as a finesse topwater lure or an insect-shaped crankbait. The Bumble Bug dives to about 2-feet when cranked steadily on 4-pound line. Cast and allow the surface rings expand and dissipate before giving the Bumble Bug a slight twitch, then let it sit again for a few seconds. If the fish aren't willing to take the Bumble Bug off the surface, try different cranking retrieves.
