This kit is deadly for Bluegill, Crappie, and other panfish. Use them on a bobber and give your pole little twitches, not much, just 1 ”- 3 ” twitches, or do a slow retrieve and pause, slow retrieve and pause. Then watch your bobber go down quicker than a ruptured duck!!!

As with all Zman ElaZtech baits these are tough, and they catch fish. Late fall fishing, and the large mouth want a smaller presentation. I put the 3 '' in baby bass on a 1/6oz finesse bulletz, and was the only one at the pond catching fish. I caught a couple right around 1 lb, a couple of dinks, and one just shy of 2 lbs( it weighed 1lb 15oz).

4 Bernhard B
This is a very nice set. I 'm comparing this to my Or is Clearwater and it's holding up well. The rod is similar in characteristics. It feels a little less sensitive but acceptable. The finish is matte and really nice looking. The price shows in small details. The pieces are not marked for fit and the openings are not sealed. Neither point is really an issue. The cork handle seems a bit soft and maybe a tad lower quality than the orvis. I think this could become an issue over time and extended use. The reel seems fine. Not as smooth as my orvis either but overall very close. Very happy with it. The weak point in my opinion is the line. While I 'm no expert, it does n't feel quite as good. It's definitely functional but does n't have an end loop for easy threading of the leader. That also makes it a bit rough to thread through the rod sometimes. Anyway, of course there's a reason for the price but at that price I recommend this set. On our first outing, my son caught 5(!) Really nice trout vs my 2 on the Orvis. Obviously that's more due to the flies he was using and his skills:-) but it shows that this set works well. All the other bells and whistles are not necessary needed. It may come down to durability in the end.

I can speak from alot of experience with this product. I use this these for freshwater trout that are locally stocked. If you impart the correct action, you will draw strikes when nobody else is.. i 've often outfished live fatheads. Also, if your intentions are to catch and release, using a 2 in jig like this with a 1/32 th oz head assures an easy liphook for quick releases. Ill tell you the secret, pretend your teasing a cat on your retrieve and fish will jump on it!

This bait is great for speckled trout, white trout, bass and a majority of other game fish. Thanks Berkley for making such useful baits.

So far, I have only fixed these at a stock tank. The Bass are all over these. I am going to have to go purchase more, before I go fishing again.

This is the best trout spinner I have ever used and it's MADE in the USA( Pennsylvania)! The EP Spin gets deeper than a lot of other spinners. Get the gold Blade for off color situations and use the nickel for clear water. The 1/4 oz size which is the biggest is my favorite...... it goes deep and catches big trout.

If you dont catch fish on Joe's, theyre not biting!!! I took a 21 inch large mouth on a Joe's first cast after hitting the waters with the standard bass lures... In fact wife and I both started using them with great results.... These are our goto lures on new water bodies with unknown specimens. Nailed a 14. 5 inch black crappie on them the following week... Be warned, withthe two hook combo you might want to use some tools to retrieve your fly cause theyre sharp and wont let go!!

5 Digerati
Great for catching pan fish, got a small mouth bass, rock bass, and bluegill all on the same lure. Fishing from the sore at the great Miami river in Ohio.

5 Mike1344
I keep a Short Striker on a 5ft. microspinner all the time so I can just grab it and go when I get some unexpected fishing time. They 're not even listed as one of the lure's targets, but I caught three small bullheads right in a row on nice, slow retrieves tonight.

5 floater
I have used these before and they are a great idea! they stay at the top of the water column and can be retrieved very slow and still spin. I have purchased multiple colors and weights from joe's flies and I 'm certainly impressed

5 Eric78D
These things catch trout and panfish. They mKe bigger ones for bass also. They have stinger trebble hooks that act like a grappler hook locking your fish in place with the single hook. This is great for short striking fish esp timid panfish or cold weather trout.

I bought this a week ago went fishing on weekend 1cast a bass 2nd cast another moved to a different spot same thing not sure if weather had to do with it or being there at the right time but this by far best spinner I 've bought

5 Soccer Shark
This is a great in- line spinner bait excellent for casting far. This is my go to lure both early and late in the season. This bait is also great on all waters I caught everything from perch to pike on them.

5 Grz1776
Good weight and nice action. Switched the treble for the included standard hook. Great for predators. Bass, perch, pickerel, and pike all hit it.

5 HmoobYexus
The good part first. I originally bought this for bass fishing, but I caught different species with it( Bluegills, Crappie, Small- mouths, Large- mouths). I do n't understand the idea behind how it simply attracts fishes, but they will definitely bite this lure if they 're enticed by looking at it long enough. And this lure comes in the best color( chartreuse) for fishing, which is a plus. Now to the Cons. While I knew that this spinner was going to sink, I was however shocked at how it swam. As it gets reeled back in, it quickly rises to the surface. Unlike other spinners that stays under the water no what speed, if this lure gets reeled in too fast then it will surface. I thought this was unusual since it's a weighted spinner and it should have stayed underwater the entire time. Overall conclusion: It's a great lure, whether if you 're a beginner or if you want to catch many fishes or if you 're just interested into buying a cheaper lure. This is my first Blue Fox lure and I 'm glad that I made this purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions For Panfish Gear

For beginners, essential panfish gear typically includes lightweight rods and reels, a selection of lures, and fishing line suitable for smaller fish. It's also helpful to have a tackle box to organize your gear and tools like pliers for easy handling. Starting with a basic kit can simplify the learning process and enhance your fishing experience.

Panfish gear is often made from lightweight materials such as graphite or fiberglass for rods, which provide sensitivity and ease of use. Reels are usually constructed from durable plastics or metals to withstand various fishing conditions. Additionally, lures may feature materials like rubber, metal, or plastic to attract panfish effectively.

Choosing the right panfish lures depends on factors such as water clarity, temperature, and the specific type of panfish you are targeting. Brightly colored lures work well in murky water, while more natural colors are effective in clear conditions. Additionally, considering the season and time of day can help you select lures that mimic the panfish's natural prey.

When selecting panfish fishing rods, look for features such as sensitivity, lightweight construction, and a suitable length for your fishing style. A shorter rod may provide better control in tight spaces, while a longer rod can help cast further. Additionally, consider the action of the rod, as a fast action rod can enhance your ability to feel bites.

Maintaining panfish gear involves regular cleaning and inspection after each fishing trip. Rinse rods and reels with fresh water to remove dirt and salt, and check for any signs of wear or damage. Proper storage in a cool, dry place can also prolong the life of your gear, ensuring it remains in good condition for future outings.

Seasonal factors play a significant role in panfish fishing success. In spring, panfish are often found in shallow waters as they spawn, making it an ideal time to use lightweight gear. During summer, they may seek cooler depths, while fall can bring them back to shallower areas as they prepare for winter. Understanding these patterns can help you optimize your gear and techniques.
