Junebug Soft Plastics: The Ultimate Color Guide for Finesse Worms, Stick Worms, and Ned Baits

The Junebug Color Lineup: Junebug, Junebug Chartreuse Tail, and Junebug Red

You are not just offering one Junebug color—you have a full Junebug system that covers different water colors, moods, and forage types.

• Junebug
  Classic dark Junebug is the all‑around option for stained to dirty water, cloudy days, and low‑light windows. It gives a strong silhouette and subtle flash that bass can see from a distance.

• Junebug with chartreuse tails
  Junebug with chartreuse tails adds a bright strike zone that pops in low visibility and around grass. The chartreuse tips mimic bluegill tails and give fish a natural target to hone in on, making it a great choice when you want more visibility and reaction bites.

• Junebug red
  Junebug red adds red flake or tint to the classic Junebug body, which can mimic blood, crawfish tones, or warm‑water forage. It is especially good in slightly stained water, around rock or crawfish‑heavy areas, and in the warmer months when bass are keyed on craws.

Junebug 6" Finesse Worm: When and How to Use It

The 6" Junebug finesse worm is a perfect choice when bass are pressured, finicky, or relating to bottom structure and subtle presentations. The thinner profile and longer body make it ideal for slow, methodical techniques.

Best uses for the Junebug 6" finesse worm:

• Shaky head: Drag or hop a Junebug finesse worm on a shaky head over rocks, points, and transitions when bass are glued to the bottom. Junebug shines in dirty rivers and stained reservoirs where bass feed by silhouette and vibration.

• Texas rig: Use a light Texas rig with the 6" finesse worm around shallow wood and grass when you want a slimmer profile than a stick worm but still need that Junebug presence.

• Drop shot or finesse Carolina: In stained water with structure or sparse cover, Junebug on a drop shot or light Carolina rig gives bass a visible, subtle offering they can’t ignore.

Junebug 5" Stick Worm: Junebug Senko‑Style Power

The Junebug 5" stick worm is your senko‑style workhorse for flipping, skipping, and weightless presentations in stained water. The combination of a dark Junebug body and the slow, shimmying fall of a stick worm is lethal around cover.

Best ways to fish the Junebug 5" stick worm:

• Weightless Texas rig: Skip it under docks, laydowns, and bushes where bass sit in the shade. Junebug lets them see it even in dingy water.

• Wacky rig: When fish are suspended or pressured around vertical cover, a Junebug wacky‑rigged stick worm falling slowly can out‑fish more subtle colors.

• Light Texas with a small weight: In heavier cover or slightly deeper water, a 1/16–1/8 oz weight helps your Junebug stick worm punch into bushes, grass, and wood while still looking natural.

Junebug 3" Ned Stick: Finesse Power in Dirty Water

The Junebug 3" ned stick gives you true finesse power when bass are pressured, cold, or heavily pressured in dirty to stained water. While many anglers only throw natural green pumpkin or brown ned baits, Junebug ned sticks stand out and help bass hone in on the bait in low visibility.

Best ways to fish the Junebug 3" ned stick:

• Standard Ned rig: Rig your Junebug ned stick on a mushroom head and drag, hop, or shake it along the bottom. The dark color and subtle flake help bass see and eat it in stained conditions.

• Micro finesse around cover: Use a slightly heavier ned head to fish around rocks, isolated wood, and transitions when you need a small profile with maximum contrast.

• Junebug red ned: When crawfish are a player or water has a slight stain, Junebug red ned sticks can mimic that darker craw vibe with a hint of red flash.
