Strike King Magnum Rage Bug Review

June 7th 2017

Strike King’s oversized bug bait is a keeper for flippers and pitchers in bass fishing.

The flipping and pitching bite was very good this spring on Kentucky Lake. For about two weeks you could just bounce around and load the boat with 3- to 7-pound bass flipping bushes, trees, vines, or any other flooded cover. That gave me a lot of time to play with hooks and plastics for flipping. One of my new favorites for bass fishing flipping plastics is the Strike King Magnum Rage Bug.

The Magnum Rage Bug is an oversized bug flipping bait that features a streamlined ribbed body with 4 appendages that swim easily on the lift and drop in and around heavy cover. So the bait has the profile you need to get into thick cover, but it also has a lot of action. It’s a large bait compared to most other bugs and beavers on the market. That was what initially attracted me to the bait this spring.
