Ultra Light lures 2025


fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply : 

What ultra light lures do you guys have great luck with when it comes to wading or fishing small streams?

I know ultra lure fishing will catch anything from panfish up to bass.

any colors/types you use that you can share?


fishing user avatarcollinfiske_RFC reply : 

I have had luck on very small rapala crankbaits for bass and crappie. I also have had luck on black rooster tails with a silver blade when fishing for trout.


fishing user avatarBIGDFISHERMAN reply : 

My ultra light spinnerbaits in blood red, black, and white have done well and in cooler water temps allow for a slower retrieve. Ive used many different tubes meant for panfish but generally only for white bass.


fishing user avatarOutdoor Zack reply : 

Tubes work well, as do small roostertails. 


fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply : 

I never thought about rooster tails.  I have them for my bigger outfits, didn't think of UL's


fishing user avatarscaleface reply : 

!/8th ounce Rattle Trap , Strike King Rocket Shad / Bitsy Bug / Mini spin ,all kinds of small soft plastics to  name a few .


fishing user avatarSmallieseeker reply : 

I caught so many smallmouth on the rebel wee craw it's for sure my favorite ultra light crank also catch a lot of panfish on it too!


fishing user avatarcrankbait2009 reply :

Pretty much.  Inline spinners, small crankbaits, and small tubes and grubs especially do a good job for stream smallies, panfish, and trout. I don't think color matters that much, but I like black, golds, oranges, yellows, and reds in the streams I usually fish, which have a brownish stain.

The original Rapala minnow size 03 floating and count down in fire tiger and black back/silver.

#1 super special top secret bait for this situation:

1/8 oz panther Martin spinner. Black one with yellow dots and the good blade. 

Might look like this (notice it's already tied on)

fishing user avatarFishinthefish reply : 

Bucktail jigs, inline spinners, small rapala shallow divers.


fishing user avatarI.rar reply : 

My top two are the spro phat flies and Lake fork baby shad with the ball tail on the Bps premium jigs with the Gammy hooks. 


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

1/16 and 1/8 ounce Rooster Tails.  I try and stick to the lighter colors.


fishing user avatardrew4779 reply : 

Sassy shads and grubs on small jig heads, rooster tails, rebel craws, crickhoppers, and beetle spins.


fishing user avatarFried Lemons reply : 

One lure I haven't seen mentioned yet is 1/8 kastmaster spoons. These have the benefit of casting much farther than other lures in the same weight class.


fishing user avatarthe reel ess reply : 

The smallest two sizes of Rebel Craw. It seems everything in a creek will bite that.

Grubs, tube jigs, 1/16 or 1/8 Roadrunners, Rebel Miniatures like the Bumblebug.


fishing user avatarwebertime reply : 

Yo Zuri Pins Minnow

Small Rooster tails (longer blades spin closer to the body and have less lift, which is helpful in faster currents of a river).

TINY Kastmasters or Pheobe spoons


fishing user avatarWIGuide reply : 

Road runners, beatle spins, very small crankbaits, and a bait called the Inch Minnow.


fishing user avatarJake the Cake reply : 

1/8oz Yellow Rooster Tail.  It'll catch anything in a creek or river.

if i'm not throwing the black/gold one i showed above, it's the same size and brand, but yellow w/ red dots and silver blade.

if you can't catch on one of those two, there may not be any fish in your waters!

I know we're getting off topic here, but where do you get one with red dots?  Is it a Worden's?


fishing user avatarGoose52 reply : 

Streams? In-line spinners, beetlespins, small spinnerbaits, small grubs, lots of stuff.

If you have a couple feet of depth, I love tossing the Strike King Bitsy Pond Minnow...

+ on both of the above. I've had pretty good results with the smallest size Rebel Crickhopper too.

snap beans

 

so disappointing, those snap beans are not sold at any stores.  Ebay sells knock offs, and the ones that are legit, are far and few between.  Anyone know of any other stores that sell these beans?

 

those are cool little cranks
