I have never tried a jitterbug before, but we don't have very many bass lakes at all to try them on.

The night fishing sounds like fun and I can see how the black one would work well, as a  silhouette against the sky.
I bet it would be a good time to fish it on or near a full moon at night.

I may have to get one some time and try them for some night walleye, pike or rainbow trout and see what happens. ;)
The jointed model sounds interesting. ;D

Water Wolf, a tip, darker the night the better... Most of the time I go home if the moon comes up.

WHen the moon is up, I always look for the darker banks to fish.
Also the jitterbug doesn't work too well with wind, a little bit of wind is ok, but the more chop on the surface is bad for jitterbug'n.
Fishing isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more important than that!

I live with FEAR everyday, and sometimes she lets me go fishing!

The jitterbug is my favorite go to lure in the late evening.  I've caught just about every kind of fish on it, also caught a seagull and a heron on it.  Safety tip - the seagull was very docile when I brought him in, the heron was a different story- I'd suggest a Kevlar helmet and welding gloves before you attempt to unhook one of them.  He was out of control trying to stab every part of me with his beak before I got control of him.
