Quick take
A tiny 2 inch floating balsa minnow for trout, bass, and panfish in shallow water.
A 2-inch minnow in a silver fluorescent chartreuse finish, with a natural minnow profile and black nickel hooks. Bright colors like this one suit anglers who want a flashy pattern for trout and panfish in streams and lakes. It is a compact pick for a first tackle box.
Best for
- Trout in streams and small ponds
- Clear-water situations where small profile fits the hatch
- Ultralight spinning gear with light line
Skip if
- You need casting distance on heavier line
- You fish murky water where tiny lures disappear
Strengths
- Tiny profile closely mimics juvenile minnows and fry
- Floating design allows precise casting around cover and structure
- Balsa construction is durable and provides realistic swimming action
Trade-offs
- At 1/16 oz, extremely difficult to cast in wind or on anything but ultralight gear
- Small size gets lost in weeds or heavy cover
- Limited visibility to fish in deep or discolored water

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
