Evergreen - Kicker Bug 3.3"
About this lure
The Kicker Bug 3.3" is a compact, high-impact softbait that stands apart from traditional creature baits. Designed by Toshifumi Kikumoto, this “Fat Baby” version delivers a dense, pulsing action that entices reaction bites from pressured or finicky fish. Its smaller profile makes it perfect for finesse presentations while still packing the full power of the Kicker Bug’s multi-action design.
- Compact power profile – downsized 3.3" body ideal for subtle, finesse-style approaches
- Flappin’ Scissors – dynamic claw movement and natural collapse to draw reaction strikes
- Ball-shaped legs – emit tight micro-vibrations for a lifelike pulse underwater
- Ribbed belly – traps air bubbles to enhance the bait’s realism and texture
- Salt, shrimp, and squid scent blend – proven to attract and hold fish longer
- FECO Eco Certified – environmentally friendly and tournament approved

How to work it
Rig the Kicker Bug 3.3" on a light jighead sized to the depth you're working, matching the finesse profile with a light spinning outfit and fine braid to a fluorocarbon leader.
Its compact body suits subtle presentations where pressured or finicky fish need coaxing into a reaction bite.
Work it slowly along the bottom with short lifts and pauses, letting the Flappin' Scissors claws collapse and the ball-shaped legs emit their micro-vibrations on the drop - most takes come as the bait settles.
Small hops and gentle shakes keep the claws working without overpowering the tight action.
The salt, shrimp and squid scent blend helps hold fish that mouth the bait, giving you a beat longer to set.
Target Aji around structure and light, Trout in freshwater on a slow-rolled or twitched retrieve, and Flounder worked hard on the bottom over sand.
