With ice out the pan fish are moving into the sheared off bull rushes. This can be a real challenge in shallow water,1 to 2 feet deep. Casting a jig under a bobber gets hung up and Long polling spooks the fish.
I remembered how well the spinner baits handled the rushes while fishing for bass and decided to make a 1/16 and 1/8 once version. This makes a versicle lure with a lot of options,plastic,flies or live bait.
The 1/16 once tipped with the woolly bugger did a nice job on the gills, the crappies have not showed up yet.
