The doodlebug has been used for over 30 years and has proven to be a
fine surf lure The secret
of it's success lies in the density of the balsa wood..(a fast growing
weed from south america) and the angle of the bug which determine how the
bug moves submerged in water.
Two 1/0 hooks are used
connected together, 40 lb clear mono is attached directly to the front
hook.
No loops are tied in the 45 inches of
40# Ande premium clear monofiliament line, we have learned most fishermen
prefer to tie their own knots and adjust leader length to suit conditions
at the time.
A strip of cut bait must be attached
in a fashion that ensures the bait will lie flat and extend at least an
inch beyond the trailer hook. Most fishermen use 2 doodlebugs on a bottom
rig, however I prefer to use 1 on a fishfinder rig, connect it to a barrel
swivel then adjust leader to suit conditions.
(directions for rigging are included in each package)
When rigged properly the doodlebug
will float off the bottom and perform an undulating rhythm while suspended
in moving water
