    Default Good and small lures


    Anyone know of any really good small lures? I mean lures even smaller than .75 inch. It seems the pannies like the small stuff.

    Not sure if you meant crankbaits..... I fish jigs for the BGs & REs. These crankbaits can be bought off of fleabay;

    The Trout Magnet is a good bait, around 3/4-1" long. I use it a lot. I think Alphahawk used it almost exclusively.

    Almost any jig 1/32 or below is a great bream bait.

    Getting a lot of trouble having them "hang on" though, to trout magnets. No one engulfs. Any really micro lures? Like the mini magnet by Leland Lures. Anyone try that? I am looking for the smallest possible lure that works.

    If I'm getting lots of "short strikers", I will sometimes pinch off about 1/4" of the TM. That gives me shorter bait, but I still have the 1/64 oz head.

    As with any micro lure you get some misses. I don't have any trouble with the Trout Magnet. Now the mini Trout Magnets work great....but good luck tying them. I have a couple of boxes if I could find them and was close to you I would give them to you. They are still sold by Trout Magnet and those that use them catch a ton of fish....but I can't even see to thread the line through the eye of the hook.

    The TMs I like. Do panfish engulf small foods like the Mini Magnets?

    Use to tye the Auto in 1/80th & 1/64th using hooks down to a #12. The problem was (during active season) that almost all the fish caught were gut hooked (big and small fish). Doesn't do the fish or jig any good when you have to dig it out. However - during the dormant part of the season, you have to downsize and use a slower presentation.

    There are a lot of "ice" jigs out there. Think the tungsten are more sensitive. I fish the micro jigs barbless.

    Not sure if Turner's is still around. They use to have a 1/128th on #14 hook marabou jig...
