Quick take
A 2.5 inch jointed topwater lure with an intense walking action and feathered rear treble that drifts when paused.
The Arbogast Jointed Jitterbug 2.0 is a 2 1/2 inch, 3/8 ounce topwater bass lure in Blue Kill, built around a lower pull point that gives it a fuller surface wake. Its redesigned hook hangers let the trebles swing freely, and the feathered rear treble keeps drifting when the bait pauses. It suits anglers who want a classic walking-style surface bait with extra churn at the head.
Best for
- Early morning topwater fishing for bass

Strengths
