The Doodle Bug works well in calm lakes. I used it during early morning and caught several smallies. It stays on the surface and looks realistic when twitched gently.

Good for targeting bream in shallow areas. I left it still for a while and then gave it a few twitches. It attracted fish consistently in a quiet pond.
