Thread: Panfish Lures (What's worked for you)?

We all have our favorites. What is yours?

For gils and bream I have had the best success using a beetle spin with a 1½" black with 2 yellow stripes split tail. Especially in our stained coastal rivers.

Can`t beat the Beetle spin ! use white, yellow and split tail yellow/ black when not using nightcralwers

Me too love em. Along with RoadRunners and RoosterTails.

Microspoons black mini spoon for me. The gills and ears love em. Plain or tip with a nibble.

Small jigs or flies work best for me, but live maggots are FAR better than any artificial bait I've ever seen.

Chaunc, I too like the spoon profile but I solder and modify my setup to include a changeable dropper lure. This is my "Go to" setup.

I got very good tips from both of you, and consider ya'll to be a treasure to this site.

Thanks Redear. Merry Christmas.

Hey Chaunc, your pic says it all!!! I've definitely gotta try some of the Microspoons!!! I really like both Road Runners and Beetlespins as primary search lures and then once I've found the "Fleet" I'll go to more specialized lures and techniques (artificial worms, live crawlers under a slip float, artificial grubs, etc)
