Luck E Strike Scrounger Head 4 per pack The Scrounger swimbait has a 35 year history, beginning in Southern California in the early 1970’s. John Waters, the inventor of the Scrounger swimbait, created it to be an inshore saltwater swimbait. In the creation of the Scrounger, John used what he believed to be one of the most effective fishing lures of all time, a simple jighead. Because of its upright single hook system, compared to the treble hook system. The Scrounger would provide a much higher hook-to-set ratio and hook-to-catch ratio. He redesigned the jighead to a round jighead with an indention for a plastic bill to fit right the eye of the hook. The Scrounger’s bill is set up right and cupped around the now round jighead. Allowing the water to pass over the jighead in a complete 360 degrees, this forces the jighead to oscillate back and forth. To control the oscillation, John tied a round nose snap to the line, and for the first time the jighead worked in tandem with the soft plastic trailer. John had accomplished his mission creating the Scrounger swimbait which produced an oscillating action, unlike anything ever seen before. In addition to the improved swimming action, the Scrounger’s soft plastic bill also improves the odds of freeing the Scrounger when it becomes wedged in rock or rubble and acts as a weed guard allowing the Scrounger to be fished in and through heavy cover or over weed beds.
