Jitterbug in Bass Mount???
«

Well last year I caught a real nice smallie on a jitterbug right as we were starting to leave as it was almost dark. I had never done a smallie mount before so I just went ahead and had it professionally done. I should get back in 3 or 4 months, and want to somehow add the Jitterbug to the mount. It's being mounted on a piece of vertical driftwood, so does anyone have any ideas or have pics of one they did or saw?

Have the taxidermist use a piece of driftwood with a limb sticking out on the same side the fish is facing. Put the jitterbug in its mouth and stretch the fishing line tight to the limb and attach. Or just hang it in his mouth and let it hang.

Here's a pic of a reproduction largemouth bass I did for a friend. I hung the Rapala vertical then put a drop of super glue on the hook eyes so they would not just hang straight down when the mount was finished. I then hot glued the rear hook into the bottom of the fish's mouth. This gave a little more realistic "swimming" look to the lure.

You could also put the lure in his mouth and like what was said above buy gluing it in its mouth so it stays up like that and then tie a line to it and take the other end and take a TAC and put in up in the ceiling / wall and that would look good as well . No need for driftwood with a extra branch on it then .
Just a thought

I'll probably just do that, but has anyone experimented with putting one on a small piece of artificial water and making the ripples?
