The Strike King Bitsy Minnow is my favorite panfish crank right now. The Fire tiger and the white are the ones I use most . But have caught fish on all colors.

I'm betting it's the same reason that applies to most manufacturing concerns.......money. The lures must not have been turning the numbers that corporate wanted to see.

I've looked at the Beans, Tony.
They are around, yes.
As popular as UL fishing is, I can't imagine why these were stopped.

Try a Yo Zuri snap bean. I believe they have been discontinued also, but only just recently so they should be available. They are made in two sizes, with the 1" bean weighing in at 1/16 oz, and the smaller, 3/4" bean tipping the scales at 1/32 oz.

Killer.

It's a Rebel Tadfry, they say 1/16 oz
It's OOP and stupid costly on the vintage market.
They are still sold in Japan and the EEU, but also ridiculous.

I've found some others that will fit the niche, though Id sure like more of these.
I contacted Rebel and begged them to start production again.

1/20th hummm what # test do  you cast this on? gotta be 2# to get it out there .

My scale says .055 oz, or 1/20 oz.
With the diving lip it's 1 1/2" long; the body itself is just a bit over 1"
Id like to say its a Rebel bait, as they have the most extensive line of "creature" types. But it's not in their current line up.
The closest thing they have now is the Teeny Wee Crawfish

Wow, never seen that one . What do you think the weight is on that ? I 'm looking for 1/8th oz baits .The Bill Norman "Crappie baits" are 1/8th oz. I've caught a few Gills and Perch but don't recall hitting a Crappie with it.
