Snap Beans

[fishnutts]

Anybody ever use these lures before with any success?
i have been looking for some smaller crankbaits, but i did not realize how tiny these things were until i received them in the mail. Looks like they might work well for crappie, perch or trout. Made by Yozuri.

i guess i could always make them into ear rings for the wife[]

Only place that I have caught anything consistently is Pelican. Thrown the heck of em on Ut. Lake and Deer Creek, but nothing. Haven't tried em at Powell for Crappie yet.

I don't have any experience with Snap Beans, but I really like Daiwa SC Shiners. They're small, have a more elongated body shape, and they suspend. They have all run true as well. I've caught lots of bass and trout on them as well as panfish. I've also done well with Bass Pro Shops' Micro Light crank, though the hooks are pretty flimsy and get mangled if you catch a decent bass. The smaller Rebel crayfish cranks have been killer on smallmouth at times. I really love fishing tiny cranks on light tackle, and it's surprising the size of fish you can sometimes catch. Tiny jerkbaits too. I caught a nice 3.5- 4lb largemouth on a little Matzuo Nano Minnow jerkbait my final trip of the year last year.[inline 19.JPG]
It took a while on an ultralight.

I picked up a pair in Gold. Tried them under the ice at Mantua and Hyrum. Didn't expect the finicky panfish to bother them, but the feisty trout. Was jigging not cranking. No takers - but hadn't tried them all THAT much.
Mostly kept them suspended - maybe 10ft of water.

Have to give em a try on a light spinning rig. That looks like fun (if it'd only warm up a little and quit raining!)

I have used these exact snap beans for smallmouth bass at the Gorge on an ultra light rod with 4lb test line. Worked great. I have also used them back in Michigan for rockbass and smallmouth and again, they worked great. Neat little lures!
