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
Best for
Bluegill and crappie, plus perch and bonus bites from trout when they’re feeding small.
Style
Micro “bug” body with loop tail and little legs for constant motion at rest.
Where it shines
Tough bites, clear water, and anytime fish are nosing around instead of chasing.
The cheat code: fish it slower than feels reasonable. The Skeeter’s legs and loop tail keep moving even when you’re doing almost nothing, which is exactly why it gets bit on stubborn days.
Top 3 ways we fish it
Micro bug, macro confidence
Ice “hover & hold”
Make it look alive without moving it much
- Drop it to fish level on a micro jig and stop it dead.
- Add tiny shakes to keep the legs pulsing, not to lift the bait.
- When a fish shows interest, hold still and let it eat.
Slip-bobber snack
Perfect for edges and shallow basins
- Use a light jig and set the bobber to keep it just off bottom.
- Let natural water movement do the work while you keep slack controlled.
- Every minute or two, lift and re-set it a few inches—then stop again.
Micro drag on bottom
When fish are glued to the floor
- Cast light, let it touch down, and keep a gentle connection.
- Drag slowly with the rod tip, then pause long enough for the bait to “settle.”
- If you feel pecks, don’t jerk—tighten and lift into steady pressure.
