Panfish jerkbaits. Ned-rig tubes. Two-inch micro twitchbaits. For when the fish want subtle and the rest of your tackle box is too loud.

RAPALA
Two-inch finesse darter. Crappie, perch, and small smallmouth all line up.

Z-MAN
Ned rig in a tube. The cheat code for tough days when nothing else moves.

TROUT MAGNET
Twenty crawdad bodies and eight long-shank hooks in a kit that'll outfish live bait on pressured trout streams. The wobble fall is the whole presentation.

BASSDASH
Multi-jointed micro swimbait that looks like a panfish and swims like one too. Bass eat bluegill. This is a bluegill that fights back with treble hooks.

REACTION TACKLE
Tungsten is denser than lead, so these teardrops are smaller and faster to the bottom for the same weight, which is the difference between a bite and a shiver. UV glow finish for the eight inches of visibility you get at 7am through a hole.

NORTHLAND
A BB rattling inside a hammered spoon that calls fish through eight inches of ice before they even see it. Walleye and perch guides have run this since before Instagram existed.

TROUT MAGNET
1/64oz. That's not a typo, it's smaller than a grain of rice with a hook welded to it. Pair with the crawdad bodies and you have the smallest legitimate jig system in the catalog, which is exactly the point in a 20-gallon tank.

PAUTZKE
Six pre-rigged 1/16oz Ned jigs built for trout that have seen every spinner in the county. Scaled for panfish, scaled for pressured trout, scaled for a fish tank: take your pick.
No gear matches that filter. .
