Salmo Bass Bug

This bizarre looking lure is sure to get a few chuckles from anglers, but when you start fishing with it, you can see this is an extremely well designed lure that actually fits the bill for what many anglers are looking for in a “wake bait” style of crankbait.

For casting distance, anglers will find the Bass Bug will cast farther and straighter than any lure in its class. Wake bait fish are in shallow water and the farther away from the boat you can cast, the better your odds. Wake baits need to move water to create a bulging wake to call in the fish, but to improve hookups, they shouldn’t ride too high in the water.

The Bass Bug will shock many when they learn that line size and speed of the lure does not hurt the action of the lure. You will simply not find a better lure for this purpose.

Does it look like other wakes baits? Nope. It was never intended to be a copycat lure since Salmo believes the ultimate “wake bait” needs to appeal to the fish first, and the fishermen will follow. These irresistible features combine to make a lure that converts more strikes than any other style wake bait.
