i've been slinging the ole chug bug around for a while on and off for a few years now i've really got the lures bug i really would love to take one off the top i've also got in my modest collection of lures a mag popper (sand eel large) and a skitter walk
can anyone tell me if locally it's a going method or am i better of pursuing with sub surface and shallow divers ?
cheers col

Two go-to lures that have a proven track record are the Patchinko and Z-Claw - the Z-Claw has the added bonus that it can be worked subsurface, the Patchino is one of the best casting lures too

Work them both S L O W L Y to get a lovely snaking walk the dog action - sit tight and enjoy the hookups!

All of mine this year so far were off the top. Patchinko, sammy, chugbug & spook jnr. But have to admit that it's my preference. Maybe I'd of had more if I did more shallow /mid divers.
I love it, but do wonder if I ought to do more sub surface.
And agree with Alex, slow is the way to go.

cheers for replies do you go for the large sizes or small ones in the patchinko and the chug bug?
