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
