Strike King Bitsy Pond Minnow 3/32oz Black Back Chartreuse

The Strike King Bitsy Pond Minnow in 3/32oz is a lightweight shallow crankbait built for covering small water—ponds, creek channels, and tight vegetation where oversized lures spook fish. The black back and chartreuse belly combo mimics natural forage and creates visibility in both clear and stained water, making it a reliable choice when you're working shallow structure and want a bait that won't blow past strikes.

At 3/32 ounce, the Bitsy Pond Minnow casts far enough on light tackle to reach skinny corners and back ponds without the splash and disturbance of heavier baits. The compact profile and realistic minnow shape appeal to bass, panfish, and other species that feed on small forage. This is the kind of bait that pays dividends on a multi-pond rotation—you can work each one thoroughly without wasting time on oversized hardware.

The black back/chartreuse finish works across a range of water conditions. The dark back reads natural in bright sun and clear water, while the chartreuse belly provides contrast and draws attention in murky or low-light conditions. Keep one tied on when you're hopping shallow cover and need a compact bait that doesn't spook fish in tight quarters.
