Small lipless crankbaits like the Rapala Ultra Light Rippin’ Rap are a great way to catch the biggest panfish in the school. Although tiny for bass, they’re an aggressive and up-sized option for hungry bluegill and crappie roaming lake and pond basins during the fall and early winter months.

Find a body of water like this near you and give it a try.
