LEYDUN MicroBug Floating Foam Insect Topwater Lure
The MicroBug is a compact foam-bodied topwater bait built to mimic a struggling insect or bug sitting on the surface. The high-density polyurethane body keeps it riding high and stable, while the fine rubber leg skirt pulses and flares with every twitch, adding lifelike movement without extra effort from the angler.
Sized at 20mm and 30mm, this lure is built for finesse topwater situations where bass are keying in on small prey. It excels around bluegill beds, shaded banks, and calm backwater pockets where a subtle, natural presentation outperforms bigger, louder baits. A solid pick for finicky bass in clear or heavily pressured water.

How to fish it
- Cast tight to cover such as lily pads, docks, or overhanging brush and let the lure sit still until the rings disappear.
- Twitch the rod tip lightly to make the legs kick and the body wobble in place without moving it far.
- Pause between twitches for several seconds since most strikes come during the dead-still moments.
- Work it slowly along shady edges and over bluegill beds, speeding up only if fish are actively chasing.
Frequently asked
The 20mm is better for finesse presentations and pressured fish, while the 30mm casts a bit farther and suits slightly larger bass or windier conditions.
Darker, high-contrast patterns like this orange and black work well in stained water, while more natural or translucent tones are better in clear conditions.
A light spinning rod with 4 to 8 lb fluorocarbon or braid to mono leader gives the best action and feel for a bait this size.
It shines in spring and summer when bass are feeding on insects and bluegill in shallow, calm water, working well for both largemouth and smallmouth.
