I know two guys that swear by them for ponds, they say they will catch anything. they like the whitish one with the gray scales on the back I believe. I bought a few, and they are very sensitive to adjusting the line tie with a pair of pliers. they like 4 lb. test.

I use a strike king crankbait a lot that works very well. It's not one of the tiny's but the next size up.It's a shad pattern, white belly to grey back with a shad and bleeding spots on the side, and it comes with red hooks. I've trolled this and cast it and caught everything on it. The next one bigger in the same pattern doesn't produce nearly like this little " secret weapon ". The gills that hit it are filet size. The 1/8oz mini king spinnerbaits do a good job for me as well, but sport a good sized hook so not too many gills get it in their mouth. But you can see them strike at it.

I love this minnow i always keep a couple in my tackle box, for when plastic jigs or worms are not working. The minnow will get the job done.

these are great lures they do have to be tuned ive found that if you hold the pliers and turn the bait to tune them. once they running straight they are deadly i have caught everything from bluegill to bass even a walleye and smallmouth and catfish. if your not catching fish just change up your retrieve. sometimes if nothing is working i reel it as fast as i can and almost always catch some like that. i have caught more fish with these lures than any other lure i have ever used.

The Yo Zuri Snap Beans work really good too. The black and gold pattern works best for me. Caught some monster bluegill with them and some nice bass too.

They started working for me after a friend told me to slow down the retrieve.

The most fun I've ever had while fishing was when I was casting Strike King Bitsy Minnows and Rapala Countdown Minnows (CD1) into a school of bull bluegill. They work great!

I love em and lots of little crank baits like that. When im planning on a long day of fishing is when they come in real handy. Right about that time when its hitting mid day and the bite is slowing down i usually will bring out one those or something like it and work the weed lines. You'll bring in alot of smaller bass and nice sized bream. Mostly fish that arent real keepers but they help the time pass while the big one arent biting. I usually do get suprised with a good 2 pounder on there though.
