Thread: Strike King Bitsy Minnos

Might have to try this

Great bait on small streams also.

The Salmo Chubby Darter works under a slip bobber, too. This one sinks and then moves up and down when the line is pulled through the bobber and released, a more vertical presentation on the same kind of rig.

Love those little things but never tried them with a float

Tried them for the first time this year after all the hype. They will catch it all. I caught Crappies,Small Largemouths,Redbreast Sunfish, Bluegills,Warmouth from small farm ponds and small creeks. Bomber Square A in Oxbow Bream color is awesome as well. You can get them at Walmart.

I love them. First thing I do when I get them is take the split ring off. The split ring wont let them swim good because the ring is to big for the loop it is attatched to. I tie a loop knot and cast it on a 6' shimano clarus UL with 4 lb yo zuri hybrid line and it casts very well on that set up. Experement with your rod and line and you will find a combo that works for you. That color you have tied on in the picture (fire tiger) is the most productive color I have found. Sometimes when you hear them slurpin bug off the top you can throw that little bugger and just shake it on the top and your hooking ratio goes way up compared to poping bugs.

Sounds like bluegill are tearing them up but how do the shellcracker like them? I used to catch some good ones on a tube jig pinched off right behind the hook.

I gotta try this, interesting. Already use the bitsy. JUST WATCH OUT FOR THEM MEAN HOOKS. lol
