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.
