Your favorite Panfish Baits?

[Headhunter]

For a sunny day, I like blue and silver jiggin Rap tipped with a power maggot. For cloudy days, I like a jiggin Rap, fire tiger tipped with a power maggot.

Alternatively, drop shot rigged small swedish pimple, micro jig tipped with a power maggot... see a trend here?

Can't recall the last time I used minnows for pannies!

I've found the key to successful panny fishin is drilling tons of holes and moving from hole to hole, only taking 30 seconds per hole to find fish.

Heavy jigging spoons and jigging rapalas are my preferred baits, fished clean. The heavier the bait, the quicker you can get it back down the hole to those hungry panfish

I like to take little jigging spoons, remove the treble, tie on 6-12 inches of fluoro, then tie on a #6 or #8 octupus hook. Sometimes I use a little teardrop jig instead on a plain hook. You see them in the magazines referred to as dropper rigs. On the hook I put a power grub and then a live pinhead shinner. It good for jigging but you can deadstick it too.

 

This board is full of good ideas though. Some I use and some I'm gonna use.
