About this lure

The Kicker Bug 4" is a next-level softbait that brings something completely different to your tackle box. Designed by Toshifumi Kikumoto, this creature-style lure combines multiple independent actions for a lifelike, unpredictable movement that outperforms standard softplastics when the bite is tough. Its bulky body and unique claw-and-leg design make it irresistible to big predatory fish hunting for something real.

  • Flappin’ Scissors – bold water displacement and a natural collapse on the fall to trigger reaction strikes
  • Ball-shaped legs – deliver subtle micro-vibrations that imitate live prey movement
  • Ribbed belly – traps micro air bubbles for added realism and softer mouthfeel
  • Infused scent formula – salt, shrimp, and squid blend keeps fish biting longer
  • FECO Eco Certified – tournament-safe and environmentally responsible construction
  • Built for big bites – an unconventional action that triggers aggressive responses from pressured fish

How to fish the Evergreen - Kicker Bug 4"

Big Kev's Tips

How to work it

Rig the Kicker Bug 4" on a jighead sized to your conditions and target the strike zone with a lift-and-drop retrieve. The Flappin' Scissors claws displace water and collapse naturally on the fall, so let the lure sink on a semi-slack line and watch for reaction strikes as it drops.

Between lifts, pause and let the ball-shaped legs deliver their micro-vibrations - this subtle movement imitates live prey and earns bites from pressured fish that ignore standard softbaits. The ribbed belly and infused salt, shrimp and squid scent encourage fish to hold on longer, so give a slight beat before setting.

Match it to a soft-plastics spin outfit with braid and a fluorocarbon leader for feel on the drop. The creature-style profile and bulky body suit hunting snapper, kahawai and trevally when the bite is tough and a different, unpredictable action is needed.
