Muskies do the Jitterbug?

Finished up the J-bugs with epoxy, currently wiring them now. Here is a sample for my buddy STEVEL, notice the tail :rock on:

I hope you enjoy them as much as I did making them! I love this hobby
More to come!

I hope everyone's season is going well!

Did you offset the lip? Supposedly this is helpful for getting jitterbugs working quickly (I learned this reading an interview with Arbogast).

I remember reading the same thing...and if you look at a plastic one straight on at the lip...you'll see its tilted ever so slightly.
