This is the original Vanilla Bugger™! While not exactly one of the Bite Me Buggers, the Vanilla Bugger™ fits this category pretty well. It was initially designed as a Crane Fly Larvae. As it got fished, we found it works well as a minnow or just an attractor streamers. The cone head really helps get it down deep.

Fishes extremely well in the fall.
