Hi all,

I was checking out the Northland website the other day and came across Bro's Bug Collection.

I liked the look of the Scud Bug, Bloodworm and Hexi Fly.

Which bugs in the collection do you all prefer or have used with some success ?

I used the mud bug and blood worm a little last year and did ok with them. I decided to try the mud bug when the bite was tough to throw something a little different than what the fish were seeing and it worked, I was getting more hits than my friends were using the usual stuff. The red and brown colors worked best. I was going to get some of the C-9 scent formula from little atom and put a few in a small ziplock to see if it would improve thier performance because I belive they are not scented. I also picked up the Scudi from Maki palstics, it has the same shrimp type look to it but it's not quite so bulky and the plastis is much softer. I have high hopes for the Scudi this season.

I love the blood worms, stocked up again for this season. I also really like the gill jig, this year I bought a bunch of hexi's and can't wait to get them in the ice

If you were to pick just one go for blood worm. It is a very productive lure

bassrat · « **Reply #8 on:** Nov 21, 2009, 12:24 AM »

got a few of the bloodworms...pretty good on the shallow perch lakes around here...not much luck on the mud bugs...but i still like the way they look (caught the fisherman, not the fish.)

I've done very well with the mud bug, gill getter, and blood worms.

Have had real good luck on bluegills with the grasshopper color bro bug when nothing else seemed to work

I like the Bro Series stuff. I have the Slug bug, Scud bug and Bloodworm. Looking to pick up some Hexi flies too.

i use all the bro series tackle alot last year the bloodworm got me my PB crappie, and this fall on open water the scud bug got me my PB perch, so you could say they work, the scud bug is a more detailed jig than my favorite jig i use which is the stopper lures whipper stopper, its my go to jig for pannies!

i like the looks of them, and i have a couple bloodworms, but i can never get to the store before they sell out of them.

jkw · « **Reply #14 on:** Nov 21, 2009, 11:07 PM »

anyone use them for trout? i wonder if theyd work for whitefish as well?

panfisherman · « **Reply #15 on:** Nov 22, 2009, 07:00 AM »

Where did you guys find the Hexi Fly at? Was all over yesterday and was not able to find it on the shelf. May have to break down and order it from Northland. Did get the Mud Bugs and the #10 Bro Bugs.

icejunky · « **Reply #16 on:** Nov 22, 2009, 08:31 AM »

The only place I have seen them is the Bass Pro Shop, none of the other retailers I shop have them in yet

Ekruger01 · « **Reply #17 on:** Nov 22, 2009, 10:41 AM »

i got mine at cabelas and scheels, i think the blue is the hot color cause i couldnt find it anywhere? everystore was sold out

javnfish · « **Reply #18 on:** Nov 22, 2009, 03:27 PM »

the mud bug in the lady bug pattern works all the time on anything the slug bug works well in spots ... other than that it's hit or miss but i have high hopes for the hexi

Water Wolf · « **Reply #19 on:** Dec 02, 2009, 09:01 PM »

Thanks for all the info guys.

I will try a few of the different bugs when I see them.

Gander out here in NEPA has plenty of blue Hexi's.....think about this though, most fish feed up, level or down towards a bait? The bottoms of a majority of the Bro Bug Collection...all the same or similar shades of color....hmmmm

if you are fishing deep, the red bloodworms right on the bottom are awesome for perch. if you can get the plastic to stand vertical with the jig on the mud, it can be deadly.

ICE KID · « **Reply #22 on:** Dec 18, 2009, 10:36 PM »

supposedly, the hexi fly's are supposed to reflect 2x the sonar waves of other similar sized jigs, I'm skeptical though, any one out there to prove me wrong as I hope there is

slipperybob · « **Reply #23 on:** Dec 19, 2009, 05:24 AM »

Hexi Flys. The marketing says 1/4 wave, so that's suppose to be 4X. Also says top is concave, but all the ones I have aren't. Still haven't tied one one yet, since I'm still using last years success methods for early ice. I will say that other jigs, with more of a flat top, does show up better on sonar. Example, CJS toadie.
