I was looking up images on Google and stumbled upon this.

Wow, that is an interesting concept puts a lot of action on those worms.  Really like how it works the fluke.  I would be interested to know how the fish feel about it.

Looks like it might be good on a walleye worm harness (which will take smallies too.)

 Really like how it works the fluke

 

x2  Actually condisering trying that out. Even on a double fluke rig.

Pretty similar to Paychecks baits "nose job". 

 

I fished them last year with pretty good results. It feels like your reeling in a crankbait with the amount of vibration it gives off. Great movement of the plastic and you can fish it about anywhere. I also caught a lot of fish reeling it on the top, looks like a jitterbug. This one in the picture below I caught slow rolling the bait on a 12ft weedline with a 3/4oz tungsten weight.

 

3 things to note:

Make sure you use a bobber stop or tie a knot if front of the "nose job" ( just like you would when pegging a bullet weight to your lure).. otherwise when you cast  the lure goes flying and the nose job slides WAY up your line. 

 

Out of a 4 pack, I had 2 of them not work properly after catching about 10 fish. They would no longer "grab" the water to create the erratic action and vibration. In short, they are now useless. The other 2 are still holding up strong though. 

 

Lastly, your experiences may vary but i had some hook up issues. Someday's i'd catch one out of every 5 bites. My thought process on this was the fish would engulf the whole lure, including the nose job, and when i went to set the hook the nose job would push the fishes mouth open causing me not to hook up with the fish. Just a thought, could be wrong but it seems logical in my head... 

Thanks for the heads up. Good information there!

One thing I just noticed, it does show on their site to rig the disc between the weight and rig.  Yours appears to be before the weight. Any reason to that? Better action?

MarkH024,

 

I tried both ways. When I first started I wasn't really sure how to rig it so I rigged it as seen in my photo with the fish (cone in front). It worked well, but it impeded the action of the plastic a bit because the weight was sandwiched in the middle. When using a weight you are better off doing it how the video shows. 

 

The only time I put the cone in front is when I'm working the bait as a topwater. In this case i'm either using no weight or a small weight up to 1/4oz, depending on how fast i want to work the bait. 

Cool thanks for the info.  I was thinking about the Gami Superline hook 1/8oz and a super fluke.  I think with that set up it would suspend nice and slow or could be burned up towards the top almost like a wake bait. I think I'm definitely going to try it out this year. Looks like a neat little gizmo.

Isn't this the basic concept of a scrounger jig?

Looks like it might have a little more wider wobble than the scrounger but again, the same basic concept.

Also the way the scrounger rubber cup is designed makes it weedless so you don't have to t-rig it.

Not nearly as erratic like the disc shows in my opinion.  It doesn't bounce to the left and right the same. That's what I like about it from what I can see. Scrounger jig heads are a great tool as well.

Iwas going to say, this concept was around a couple years ago. I can never get the scrounger head to act like the disc does. I've tried various head weights and still do not realize the action of the disc.
