Micro crankbaits, micro jerkbaits, etc-recommend some for me!

[carpanglerdude]

What are your favorite micro crankbaits and other hardbaits? For trout, bluegill, bass, whatever-let me know!

I ran into a killer InFisherman article about micro lures, with some excellent photos. Unfortunately, I can't find the link anymore [edit: Found link], but I did save some of the images. Got inspired to branch out in my collection of micro hardbaits, most of what I have been throwing is Snap Beans and Bitsy Pond Minnows. Figured I should turn this into a new blog post series while I'm at, I'm going to do a series of reviews on micro lures, specifically micro hardbaits on my blog. If you have any suggestions on lures that would be great to include in this, please let me know. I have several Yo-Zuri Snap Beans, Bitsy Minnows, Aile Kili Fish, a few Bass Pro Shops XTS micros, one or two from Cordell and Matzuo, plus several generic lures, with a few Tsunami cranks on the way.

I'd really love to hear from some of the hardcore sunfish and crappie anglers on this topic. I know Fishmounter has posted a few photos of really sweet micro cranks, I just can't find that topic right now.

I've become fascinated with the micro lures offered; I'm trying to track some really esoteric models, like the Austraila River2Sea GT Bugs (looks amazing!), Baby Cranks, and some of the other neat-looking micro lures I've spotted online. I'm just going to post a truck load of images of some of these different lures, hope others find this niche in fishing as interesting as I do...(several of these photos come from the BigBlueGill forum, I think several FNN members are also active over there). Rebel has a nice series of micro lures, I'll definitely try to pick some of those u

Bob Michael Little Bitty Lures, used to be sold at WalMart..no more, sad day.



















I've found that a lot of micro lures are much more popular in overseas markets, i.e. Russia, Australia, Japan, etc. River2Sea has a whole line of products that are only sold in Australia. The Strike Pro company is another example of this, with only a few of their lures offered in the USA. Getting a hold of these models will be fun. One of the foreign articles I came across showing a wide variety of these lures is in Russian, plenty of photos to salivate over:http://www.gachok.com.ua/snast/ultra...-segodnyu.html

Ok, I'm done rambling. Just wanted to share an exciting niche in fishing and get some feedback on must-have ultralite lures <^_^>
Also, if anyone has some of these micro lures and would like to sell/trade/getridof 'em, let me know (PM)
