Thread: Looking for some smaller top water baits

My favorite topwater for gills and crappie is a Teeny Torpedo. They are 1.5 inches long and weigh 1/10 oz. Favorite color was clear with a black spot on each side. On my last fishing trip with my dad 29 years ago after he was diagnosed with cancer I was catching crappie on every cast while dad wasn't having much luck. I let him use my rod and he started catching them, maybe a dozen or so before he said he was done. He had a smile on his face when we left. I still have the bait and used it for the first time several days ago and caught several rock bass before I clipped it off because I was afraid I might lose it. I need to buy a few more, hopefully a couple in that color.

I guess it’s in the eye of the beholder. This box is full of smaller stuff, none are full size. For scale, look at the 1/4oz silver minnow spoon and compare from there. I’ve also had a lot of it go south after something very big decided to have a snack and head south with my stuff in his mouth, drag screaming in protest. Hope this gives some ideas.

One of these is your teeny torpedo Jim. If I find some I’ll get em and let you know if you like.

Danny Ross, now I have to tie a few of those. These river gills will love em, thanks for sharing the idea.
