Strike king rage bug 2025
Skspacemonkey reply :
Hi, What are some of your favourite colors for the rage bug? Also how do you guys like to rig it? Thanks!
roadwarrior reply :
White is #1, then PB&J, Alabama Craw and Okeechobee. J-Rig and as a trailer for the Rage Blade.

Green Pumpkin ~
Makes a decent jig trailer and it's particularly effective on a swing head.

Do you use the owner j hooks?

It's the head from the Freedom Lures Stealth Swim Jig ~
Allows one to use a variety of hooks also fishes around, over, under & most importantly, through any cover effectively.

Yes!
Choporoz reply :
Greens and Alabama Craw on weighted swimbait hook....more than any other lure or bait.... maybe more than all others combined. I like the more horizontal fall...but sometimes on swinging jighead..sometimes trig....White on chatterbaits.

Texas rig and hold on tight.

Great pitching bait, takes minimal weight for the appendages to flap

Along with these two, I’ll add chameleon.
countryboy65 reply :
I use mostly blue craw and black and blue, mostly on swing heads. Killer on Kentucky lake
parkerg31 reply :
Alabama craw on a texas rig for flipping. It doesn't hold up enough to work as a jig trailer for me.
Columbia Craw reply :
My favorite pitchin bait. Four colors cover all the bases: Black-Blue, Green Pumpkin, Watermelon Red Flake and Okeechobee Craw. I also use it as a football jig trailer.
NYWayfarer reply :
I have extremely clear water in my area rivers and lakes so I green pumpkin the heck out off all my soft plastics

green pumpkin
Junebug
California craw
I like it as a T rig flipping and pitching bait. I began to enjoy it on a C Rig as well.
burrows reply :
Summer craw
tcbass reply :
I found it T-Rigged, weightless works well as a topwater bait over pads.
Rarely let it sink.
RHuff reply :
My best color by far is watermelon red flake. I pitch it on a texas rig with the weight pegged most of the time. Works great as a jig trailer too.
Don’t count out the Rage Tail Space Monkey either. I’ve gotten bit a lot on days when the Rage Bug just wasn’t working.
roadwarrior reply :
I think the Space Monkey is Big O's favorite.
IgotWood reply :
I love the Rage Bug! I like to peg it on a flipping hook. I've also had a couple of good days with it as a trailer on a jig. I trimmed the skirt so that both the tail and side appendages have action. It looks a little funny, but it works! Chameleon, PBJ, and black/blue fleck are my colors.
bowhunter63 reply :
Green Pumpkin and my favorite way to rig it is on a rage rig.

Do you fish them on braid or flourocarbon?
airborneduckhunter reply :
Watermelon Red either T-rigged or as a jig trailer.
Vertical Jig reply :
I like green pumpkin and watermelon with red flake but by far my fav is chamilian fished on a weighted 3/0! Has become my go to lure!!
Dens228 reply :
My two main colors are Watermelon/Red Flake and Black/Blue Flake. That probably makes up 90% of my usage.
papajoe222 reply :
I'm probably the only guy in my club that doesn't throw green pumpkin. I prefer summer, or Bama craw and tequila in the bigger size. I also don't use them as a jig trailer. More often than not, I'll rig it alone on some type of single hook presentation, a shakey head being the exception to a jig trailer.
Oh yea, I hate fluorocarbon, but for these presentations, I'll use it as I feel it has some slack line tramitting (is that a word?) properties.
