Mantis shrimp for convict bass

I fish an area that has 17.5 miles of structure. 1342 pillings and 4 man made islands make this a great area for all sorts of bass..salty bass or convict bass as refer I to them. Mantis shrimp are mean little mothers that can cut you quick. They look like this.

They hang real close to the pillings. The convict bass eat them up. But with the way they float and swim it is hard to find the right lure for the job ...till two years ago. Taking a page from LGMouth.... Specialized Baits created "The Bug" .

It needs just one thing to make it float move just right.. YES pork rind. It has always been said, that anything is better with pork (bacon).
Add a Uncle Josh pork rind and it will obliterate those convict bass.
