Last Saturday I was fishing a local club event at Lake San Antonio and decided to finally use the Huddleston Huddlebug. I was pitchin it into beds. On the first fish I catch with it (a 2.5lb), the wieght system on it gets torn clean out. So I figure this to be a fluke and tie on another. Same thing happens again on the next fish. I have no dout that this bait works great. But I do have issues with a pack of baits that cost around $11 that fall apart on the first fish. Anyone else having this problem? Just curious....and let me say again, this bait does catch fish!

what size hook are you using??

Bryan, My first experience with a Huddlebug was the complete opposite. Last year during the BnT TOC Riverrob gave me one of the pre-rigged bugs to try out. He gave it to me Friday while pre-fishing and I used it for two days until a bass stole it from me. I easily caught over a dozen fish on the one bait and it was still in great shape when I lost it. I rigged it on a small drop shot hook on 8lb line. When ever I hooked up the bug would slide up the line and out of harms way.
