Jitterbug Tattoos for Arbogast Enthusiasts

The Fred Arbogast Jitterbug is iconic to bass anglers and to the fishing world generally – which means I’d be shocked if some fanatics hadn’t tattooed one on their arm, leg, back or nether regions. A quick search of Instagram found some great ones. Here are seven of my favorites:

Maddock Ink

Greg Lodato Tattoos

Mikey Ratt

Alley Cat Tattoo
