Micro Fishing Bluegill

[Joe Angelucci]

Just got back from a week fishing at Lake Naomi, PA. I decided to use a Mr. Crappie pole rigged with one pound test, a single BB split shot and a # 32 tanago hook. The hooks were amazing. I was able to catch 100 plus bluegill and well as 5 YOY bass over a three day period. All fish were in the 2-4 inch range and all were C and R.

How about that - you actually liked catching 2" fish.
I'm just kidding, of course. I honestly wouldn't knew what to do with a hook that small. I probably couldn't even see it.

The hooks are snelled with about 1.5 feet of line. I attach using a loop to loop connection.

[Bob Garner]

dang can you see a hook that size ?

[Joe Angelucci]

3x glasses help

I have never seen a size 32 hook before. What did you use for bait on a hook that small? 

[Joe Angelucci]

Little Atom Micro plastics. I use a razor to cut each piece about 1.5 mm. I've added a picture of the equipment

I hope this might be a better picture of the set up

DO THEY MAKE 20X GLASSES FOR US OLE TIMERS?

NICE SHOT OF THE GEAR JOE. MAN MICRO IS RIGHT !!!!!!!!

[Joe Angelucci]

The nice thing is that once your baited, the plastic will usually last for about 20+ fish. Usually the hook will catch the lips. So far I've had zero gut hooks.
