Strike King Bitsy Minnow is my go to small water lure for catching large quantity of fish. Once in a while you'll snag a keeper but for the most part, this is a high volume lure at the sacrifice of fish size. It's a blast. I've caught so many white bass, bluegill, catfish, crappie, and largemouth on this lure that anytime I'm out using artificials this is the lure I go to if the fishing is tough. It almost ALWAYS produces. Walmart stocks em. I prefer the TN Shad and Orange Craw colors. So do the fish around these parts.
The lighter the rod/reel/line the better. I use a yellow fiberglass microlite rod/reel combo from bass pro. The thing is super slinkly light and allows you to cast this lure a country mile even though it is tiny and weighs very little.
Here is a link to it. Walmart doesn't sell it online but they stock it in-store and it's about a dollar cheaper. Read the bass pro reviews on it. It's the real deal.
