Length
1.0" micro fry with a teardrop body and a thin needle tail that quivers with almost no forward movement.
Best for
Panfish and crappie first, but it’s also a sneaky walleye and smallmouth cleanup bait when bites are short or fish are pressured.
Style
Ultra-light action: the tail flicks on shakes and current, and the body holds a “minnow speck” profile that doesn’t spook fish.
Where it shines
Docks, reeds, and basin suspends—plus river back-eddies when you need a tiny offering that still stays visible on the line.
Micro rule: don’t overwork it. If you can feel it, you’re probably moving it too much—think “shake the slack,” not “jig the bait.”

Top 3 ways we fish it

Tiny profile, clean control, steady bites.

Micro Jig, Hover & Shake

Hold it in place and let the tail do the work.
  • Rig it straight on a light wire micro head so it hangs level.
  • Keep the bait a foot above fish and shake slack until the tail just trembles.
  • When a fish loads it, keep reeling—big hooksets pull tiny baits away.

Slip Float or Fixed Float

The easiest way to keep it in the strike zone without line drag.
  • Match your shot to just barely stand the float up—no “anchor” weights.
  • Set depth to ride above weeds or just over a brush top.
  • When the float tips or slides, sweep and reel—micro hooks don’t need power.

Drop Shot, Micro Bait

For suspended crappie or finicky smallmouth in clear water.
  • Nose hook it or lightly thread it so the tail stays free.
  • Shake the line with the rod tip held still—keep the sinker planted.
  • When fish follow, stop shaking and let it deadstick for a full count.
