Red Bug is a legendary early spring color, built for cold water and finicky bass. Its deep red body with green flake mimics natural worms and crawfish emerging in warming shallows, making it perfect when bass are staging or cruising before the spawn.
This color works exceptionally well in clear or lightly stained water, especially when rigged Texas or Carolina style. Red Bug has proven results nationwide but performs best in southern and midwestern lakes during the prespawn season. Made from DeLong’s durable, hand-poured soft plastic and scented with natural anise oil, it’s a must-have for your early-season arsenal.
