Strike King Micro King 1/16oz Chartreuse/Chartreuse

The Strike King Micro King 1/16oz Chartreuse/Chartreuse is a compact spinnerbait engineered for light-tackle panfish and small bass work. At 1/16 ounce, it's built for ultralight spinning rods and delivers the vibration and flash needed to trigger strikes from species that ignore larger lures. The dual chartreuse finish—blade and skirt matched—cuts through murky water and low-light conditions with visibility that stands out to aggressive feeders.

This is the smaller sibling in Strike King's spinnerbait lineup, designed to pair with finesse tackle without sacrificing the blade action and silhouette that make spinnerbaits effective. The light wire construction keeps the lure responsive even on ultralight setups, so you're not bogging down your rod or exhausting yourself with every cast. Whether you're targeting bluegill, crappie, or schooling bass in shallow cover, the Micro King delivers a profile that fits smaller mouths and feeding preferences.

The Diamond Dust silicone skirt adds movement and bulk without weight, creating the illusion of a small baitfish fleeing danger. Combined with the Colorado blade's signature wide, thumping wobble, the Micro King generates the kind of disturbance that draws fish to the strike zone. This lure isn't complicated—it's a straightforward, productive choice for anglers who fish light and expect solid results in panfish waters and shallow structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rod and reel setup works best with the 1/16oz Micro King?

This lure is designed for ultralight spinning rods paired with light-capacity reels. A 5- to 6-foot ultralight rod with 4- to 8-pound test line will let the lure achieve its intended action and casting distance.

Will the Micro King work for bass or is it only for panfish?

While the Micro King excels with panfish and small bass, it can draw strikes from any bass size when they're feeding on small prey. The compact profile and light weight make it ideal for shallow water, light cover, and finesse situations where standard-sized lures are too bulky.

Why choose chartreuse for this lure?

Chartreuse is a high-visibility color that performs well in stained water, low light, and heavy cloud cover. The dual chartreuse finish—matching blade and skirt—creates a cohesive profile that's easy for fish to track and strike.

What's the difference between the Micro King and Strike King's larger spinnerbaits?

The Micro King is scaled down in weight and profile, making it suitable for ultralight tackle and smaller-mouthed fish. It's a specialized tool for finesse fishing where a standard-sized spinnerbait would be inappropriate.
