Finesse Pannies

At first glance these might appear as just another harness. But if you look closely they are tied with # 8 hooks and smaller. the swivels are # 12 crane . The blades are also on the small side. Some just have a simple small flo bead on it. I use these when normal sized baits or live bait on plain hooks are not producing. Though small in size I have caught some big fish on them. The biggest fish I ever hooked on them was a huge muskie at Lake Milton. I say hooked because that 4 # leader just could not handle that boy. I use blades as small as 00 and even those small little propellers blades. They all produce and are simple to make. I pre- tie mine and store in re-sealable plastic bags. Gives me something to do when I can't go fishing. I tie some micro harnesses that were tied with big bluegill and perch in mind. However the walleyes like to inhale them also.
These I use for ice fishing. To give you an idea on how small that pin min in the middle is on a size 10 hook. These are tipped with only 1 maggot or mousee. Have used just a piece of waxworm also. The smallest one here is on a size 18 hook. I use fly tying stuff on these such as caddis beads some times little bits of feather or fur. On occasion these mini lures can absolutely slay gills and perch. I would say crappie do bite on them but the small hooks don't hold them very well. I use these when i know the fish are there. But will not bite on what you would consider normal size ice fishing lures. Another caveat is if you use in water deeper then 8 ft. I would add a split shot up on my main line
I always make sure I have a variety of these pre-tied baits on hand. By going micro now and then it has helped catch fish that ignored standard offerings. I use braid for my main line. Then mono as a leader. When something gets tangled or broke off. It only takes a few seconds to get back in ball game.

Neat ! I use micro jigs a lot fishing for gills . Some I tie to resemble wet flies I've used . Most are tied on 1/100th and 1/80th jig hooks . I used a weighted float to cast on ultralight spinning tackle . 2-4# line . I've caught all kinds of fish using my float and jig rig . Gillchaser

I too like using this setup for gills but i catch a tremendous amount of crappies and catfish using it too. Love those all black chenilles.Originally Posted by gillchaser999

I agree the Pin Min can be deadly on all panfish. I especially love to make the teardrop shape. I make mine using #8 gold hooks, #6 gold hooks and #2 gold hooks. I use the same shell on the #6 and the #2 hook. The #2 is for the larger Crappie. the #6 is for Shellcracker and larger 'Gills. Tip with Maggots or Wax Worms.
