Junebug
Do you guys use the color JUNEBUG in natural colored waters? I'm asking who would throw this color before a green pumpkin or watermelon seed? Junebug seems so popular just wondering does it outproduce the pumpkin colored ones cause i have no junebug colored plastics?

I throw june bug every once and a while, but not before some other colors. if it is a color everyone uses, then you dont want to throw it to often because the fish have already seen it and possibly been caught on it. you want to give them a presentation they dont see to much.

I always have carried the Junebug Manns worm for years and years. It was really productive when the waters up here were dark and murky. On todays semi clear waters it still produces...I found that once the senko bite goes stale, I throw in the manns jelly worm and for some reason that tail clicks with the fish.

i use junebug quite often, more in dark water than clear, but my number one bait last year on the sandusky river for lagries and smallies was a junebug colored Shaw's Pro Series Finesse Worm. I wouldnt say its my top pick for colors, but it is in my aresenal along with alot of other unique colors.

I fish Junebug in any kind of water, natural ( clear ) or murky/muddy, it´s not the color what matters to me, it´s the flash of the metal flake what I´m interested in.

junebug is a great color, that being said. will it outproduce other colors? well today maybe it will, but tomorrow maybe it won't. there is no magic color. everyone has a favorite or two but no one color will work best all the time. junebug is a great color what will catch fish in a variety of situations, don't be affraid to use it.

My number one, when I need a fish, when nothing else is working, bait is a Zoom Junebug Babybrushhog. I'll use it in clear or stained water. It's probably my favorite color to use. I fish a lot of off colored water but I caught a 7 lber on a Zoom Junebug lizard a couple years ago in a crystal clear pond. She was cruising the bank in early spring and I flipped it to her and she ate it. Sweet!

The only junebug colored anything Ive had any luck with was the strike king xx senko knock offs. there really hard and brittle(at least the ones I got) but in the 9 foot hydrilla trees we got down here they work pretty good. I do always end up going back to the 'ol monsters in water melon seed though. Any colors worth a shot.

I have junebug in every genre of worm I carry, but I also have all the greens, watermelons, browns and pumkin colors. It's really hard to say what conditions are more favorable for Junebug. When I first read this thread, I was thinking that I use the worm in off colored water and darker daylight to night time (which I have done well in those conditions), BUT I can also recall days when everything was bright and clear, including the water and they worked well then too. However that isn't a guarantee that it will work everytime and all the time. I also use a color called blue saphhire in the Zoom and Culprit worms that is the absolute stick of dynamite sometimes, but most of the times the natural greens and browns are the go to.

Thanks for the feedback guys, It seems like no one hates this color so i'll give it a try sometime. Can't hurt to try something new!

Junebug
I know the JUNEBUG is good but do you think it could catch a 20lb bass?

Welcome to the site, Caleb!
A bent bobby pin and a string could if it was presented right. Presentation, weather, season, location; all of these matter. Where do you plan on doing this? -Buzz |
