A lot of good fish are lost at the side of the boat. You hold the fishing rod high in one hand, and reach down and grab the fish by its mouth. The fish is in the boat. Only now can you sit down and start breathing again. All the action takes place within a short minute.
T hat's what makes using the jitterbug exciting.
For heart stopping excitement its just hard to beat. The strike by the bass is surprising and brutal. The fight is hard fought. The fish can win as easily as you, and many times does. Y ou may go a long time and throw many casts before a fish will hit a jitterbug.
