Cocahoes. Single hook with barb crushed. Best lure for catching schoolies and releasing them quickly. Trebles not good for the kids, though all crushed barbs on schhoolie lures ok. Past history has the small smack its right up there. Love the feather tail and the rattle too. Looking forward to crushing barbs on Big Fish Savage Tadpole too. Used it for bss and pickeral last year.

Small darters.
If, however, you really want to tong small fish day or night then a fly rod is the way to go.

Bucktails is a common thread here. Never used them for the little guys, but will give it a shot in a few weeks.

I hope I don't seem like I am bragging. But I will, my average river fish is 15# in the Spring. I have lost a fish of a life time in the last days of April first days of May to river current and being under gunned. I fish larger profile lures to weed the schoolies out. |
