Best ways to fish it (demo)

Swim Jig Trailer Shallow grass, slow roll
Texas Rig Pitching to cover
Ball Jig Head Dragging sand or rock
Split Shot Natural subtle glides
Link to custom color order form
Length
1.0" micro mayfly with a segmented body, fine legs, and a split tail that flutters with almost no lift.
Best for
Bluegill and crappie during bug hatches, plus finesse walleye and smallmouth when fish are locked on tiny forage.
Style
Natural drift and hover—legs pulse on slack line while the tail flares subtly on shakes.
Where it shines
Hatch conditions, shallow flats, slack water, and clear basins where fish feed up but won’t chase.
Hatch tip: keep the bait above the fish and let it drift. Mayfly eaters expect food to come to them, not run away.

Top 3 ways we fish it

Imitation beats attraction with this one.

Micro Jig, Dead Drift

Match the hatch instead of triggering a chase.
  • Rig on the lightest head that keeps contact without sinking fast.
  • Cast upwind or up-current and let it pendulum naturally.
  • Add only tiny shakes when it stalls.

Float & Hover

Suspend it exactly where fish are feeding.
  • Use a fixed float set shallow to mid-depth.
  • Let wave action or current animate the legs.
  • When the float twitches, reel and sweep.

Micro Drop Shot

For clear water and pressured fish.
  • Nose hook lightly so the body stays horizontal.
  • Hold the rod still and shake slack line only.
  • Pause often—bites come when it looks lifeless.
