Picked up a pack of these. Searched the forum but couldn't find anything on them. Anybody use them? How do you rig them? Thanks.

great flippin bait!there are times and conditions that the small profile is more appealing to a bass than a larger one.

i use a 3/0 wg hook and enough weight to get thru whatever cover im fishin.in fla. its a hard bait to beat.i also use the gambler b.b. cricket as a small profile bait.

A buddy of mine flips with the larger version, the Ugly Otter.  I ordered some earlier this week.

I've mentioned the Ugly Otter a number of times on the forum, but have no experience with the Little Otter (too small).

Most anglers seem fixated on the Sweet Beaver, but my vote goes for the Gambler Ugly Otter (more vibration).

It measures 4 1/2" overall, so I just T-rig the ugly otter, unweighted on a 5/0 heavy-wire #74 Gamee (no jig, no skirt, no sinker).

I don't bother slitting the paddletail or lobed-feet anymore, because I feel that there's more thump if you leave them intact.

I like "watermelon red" for the contrasting hues, but honestly never found color to make a noticeable difference.

Fish the ugly otter as you'd fish any crayfish-simulating, bottom-hopper (soft 8" pulls).

Arched Rods,
