Thread: STRIKE KING BITSY MINNOW

Ran into some white ones with red eyes at Walmart the other night. I'll be armed and dangerous now once April (seems so far away) rolls around.

I really like using these lures.I paddle troll them in my kayak for crappie and gills,often get bonus bass,and during one trip last year,I caught three nice cats on three cast using a green one.

I usually use Trout Magnets for 95 percent of my fishing. But this year I traded in a paddle kayak for a pedal drive....Native Slayer Propel 10. So after reading this post bought a dozen of these. Plan on trolling a little with them in some TWRA Lakes. I had read somewhere that the tuning on them was bad so I have already tested all 12 of them. Only 4 ran true out of the box but was able to adjust the rest. Looking forward to using them.


Regards

I caught some pretty good gills last year on a TWRA lake trolling these off the side while moving from spot to spot. They'll get deeper than you'd think.

This has been my go-to bait for the local ponds and the Canoochee River. Very aggressive strikes on the river from bluegill and redbreast, a slower retrieve on the lakes has worked for everything except catfish, so far. I always have a few of these with me whether from shore or in the yak.

Great bait!

Great bait to try for something different. Caught a lot of brim and redbreast in Florida years past. Even had them out fish crickets.

I've caught a little bit of everything on those in ponds. I think the last one I bought may have been a "baby bass" color.
