Rage bug vs pit boss 2025


fishing user avatarSkspacemonkey reply : 

Which would you prefer, the rage bug or the pit boss? 


fishing user avatarYeajray231 reply : 

You can make this a poll. Pit boss is nice for the money but I'd pick the structure bug ultimately. 


fishing user avatarIgotWood reply : 

Structure Bug was money for me last year. Haven't had much luck with the Pit Boss.


fishing user avatarpapajoe222 reply : 

Welcome

It depends on what I'm using it for.  On a punch rig, I prefer the Pit Boss. Almost every other situation, I'd opt for the Rage Tail.

This discussion could come down to fisticuffs.


fishing user avatarErikmonBillsfon reply : 

Haven't used a pit boss enough but never caught a fish off it and I don't like how sometimes the tails stick together. I catch bass and pike in CT off the rage structure bug and have not had any  same success with and NY times times type of craw or creature. Bama craw or black blue structure bug Texas rig will work anywhere I tried.


fishing user avatarRoLo reply : 

Between those two, the 'Structure Bug'


fishing user avatarDCales84 reply : 

I'm a big fan of the Havoc line of baits.... The Rage Bug is better overall but often at a cost of twice as much.


fishing user avatarCatt reply : 

After getting my first package of Structure Bugs from that Big-Ole Texan I gave everything else away...aint looked back!


fishing user avatarBluebasser86 reply : 

If money isn't an option, Rage Bug. If I'm paying out of pocket (and assuming Berkley didn't discontinue ALL my favorite colors), I'd take the Pit Boss.


fishing user avatarroadwarrior reply : 

The Rage Structure Bug is MONEY!

I think Academy still had purple lime passion and sapphire blue online

Both work very well as a jig trailer or as a texas rigged plastic. My buddy uses the pit bosses while I fish more of the bugs. We both catch plenty of fish.

Pit Boss.


fishing user avatarColumbia Craw reply : 

I lean toward the Rage Bug. The Pit Boss is no slouch though.


fishing user avatarN Florida Mike reply : 

pit boss.


fishing user avatariceintheveins reply : 

Both work great. The pit boss is money for me, caught a pair of six plus pounders last year for me.

fishing user avatarboostr reply : 

Depends if you want a lot of action or a little action. They are both good at different times.


fishing user avatarGreenGhostMan reply : 

I love both, but as others have said, the rage bug seems to produce better for me, but the cost effectiveness of the pitboss is unmatched.  


fishing user avatarMosster47 reply : 

Both will do their job if you do yours.


fishing user avatarMaster Bait'r reply : 

I like the rage bugs for a bigger presentation but if I'm sizing down a little the 3" pit bosses seem to really do well.  


fishing user avatarmbtharp1 reply : 

Rage bug hands down. I tried an experiment last year. Tied on a summer craw rage bug and went flipping, caught around 5 fish. Took it off, threw on a summer craw pit boss, no bites. Put the rage bug back on and went to town on them again. They may be twice the cost, but I'd rather catch fish than have 2 packs of lures that don't produce as well.


fishing user avatarScarborough817 reply : 

never tried the structure bug so its definitely the pit boss for me

Same here. I catch plenty on the Pit Boss but one day I'm sure I'll try a structure bug if and when a sale comes.
