The man who understands this bait's versatility better than anyone is Texas pro Todd Castledine. The Rage Bug is the most versatile bait out there. I cast it. I pitch it. I use it as a trailer on a structure jig,'' said Castledine. Its thin body allows easy penetration with a worm hook, so I use it Texas-rigged a lot. I will put it on the back of a Strike King Thunder Cricket. In shallow vegetation, I even fish it as a top water, because its flat profile makes it such a deadly wake bait.'' The 3.38'' Rage Bug, like the original and Magnum, is a remarkable soft plastic for pitching around cover and punching mats. The four appendages create an unmatched action. There are occasions when it pays to downsize that Rage Bug a bit. A lot of times when you downsize a bait, you tend to lose a little of that action that you were going for. But this 3.38'' deal really sizzles down there,'' said Hackney.
