I love using these year round. They catch bluegill, yellow and white perch, pickerel, crappie, and bass for me. I like to use them on a 1/10th - 1/20th oz Z-Man Micro Finesse Shroomz Jig Head and 4# monofilement line. They are very durable and will last between 15 - 20 fish if not more. They are hard to find in the spring and fall so make sure to stock up in-between.
