Conehead Rubber Bugger
The Conehead Crystal Bugger is a popular variation of the classic Wooly Bugger fly. The added flash and weight of this Wooly Bugger version make it a great fly when rivers run stained and a more visible fly becomes necessary making this old-stand-by even better.Fly in sizes: 4, 6.

Cone Head Rubber Bugger = Big Bass,
March 24, 2013

"Never tried the rubber bugger, but when I saw it on the Orvis web site it made good sense that Largemouth Bass would tear this up. I tried one out recently and it worked like a champ. I used size #4....big enough to attrack the bass, but still a fly so different and does not look like what a typical conventional bass fisherman would toss in the water. I will be buying more of these!!!"

Excellent fly,

"Great fly. I have found it to be a little clunky for trout, but have caught a few dead drifting or on the swing. I use this most often for carp. Let it sink and wait to see a tailer. Give a short strip to make a puff of dust in the water and then wait."

Highly Recommended,

"I was fishing on the Teton River in Idaho the water was a little murky but not too bad.I was using nymphs for a while then switched to a little black bugger and got one hit after about 60 casts. It didn't seem like it would end up being good so I looked in my fly box for patterns I hadn't used before. I chose the ConeHead Bugger,I threw it out and let it drift under a willow then I stripped it in quickly first cast I caught a nice Cutthroat trout and almost every cast after that I caught a good fish."

Well Rounded Fly,

"I originally purchased this fly for trout fishing, but found it to work especially well in murky lake water or on overcast days right after the rain. Who'd of know i've taken everything from castfish to smallies and largemouth bass on trout fly"

My "GoTo",

"I frequently try new patterns but it seems I always come back to this gem. I have used this pattern effectively in all four seasons here in WV. It works equally well for trout or smallmouth. Buy some!"

"When I received my Conehead Rubber Buggers just by looks alone I knew that they were something special. The first day I got to try them out I caught Trout constantly all day long and ever since then the Conehead Rubber Bugger is my new favorite fly. "
