Quick take
The Bitsy Bug Mini Jig from Strike King is a 1/4 oz finesse jig in candy craw. A weedless head, fiber weed guard and silicone skirt let it work through light cover, and the line tie sits high on the head to keep the line away from rocks. It is a natural pick for bass anglers fishing small jigs.
