Junebug is one of the most reliable colors in bass fishing. Its dark purple body with a hint of flake provides excellent visibility in stained or muddy water, while still offering a natural look that triggers both largemouth and smallmouth. Junebug works year-round, making it a staple in any angler’s tackle box.
