i have a ultralight zebco spinner with a 5foot matched rod. it is spooled with 8lb spiderwire mono. What are some cranks and topwater lures i can use with this little thing??

No offense but you are making a bunch of threads like this. Have you tried searching this forum or google?

if it bothers you then dont reply to my threads. Im new t the forum so im learning.

So am I but it is pushing other threads to the bottom and people don't like to see the same old threads everyday.

Bomber square A and little suspending minnows work good for me, and for top water lots of top water is super light like jitterbugs, heddon torpedos, poppers like a rebel popper, river 2 seas also has a super tiny hallow body frog I been using the past couple of days.

In-line spinners.

Here some little cranks I use and small frogs. I saw you also have a Light-Med spinning outfit the 1/4oz frogs might be better on that. My favorite is the Strike King Bitsy Minnow Black/Chartreuse the one in the fish picture.

rebel craw crankbaits! they are so realistic looking and they flat out catch em. nose hooking a 3in dinger/senko works well too.

Do you have a pic of that frog or a website?

Yet you replied to this thread, bumping it to the top. Twice. Ironic?

If you can help answer a question, post. If not, move along. While often times it will get to the point, telling guys to "google it" or use the search button isn't really the helpful community feel we're after here.

As for the OP, get some 1/32 to 1/8 oz. twister and bucktail jigs. Cast them out, and slowly swim them back. Catch many species.

8lb line? Ultralites are rated 2-6lb.

But if you're using 8, any average lure will do

any small crankbait will work, smaller sizes of rebel pop-r, smaller sizes of rapala original floater, small rebel craws, heddon tiny torpedo, inline spinners, bill lewis tiny traps, etc.

a jighead and small finesse worm will work, but i generally try to avoid using single hook baits with an UL because you just don't have the backbone necessary to really set the hook hard. i can't imagine using a hollow bodied frog with UL gear.

Try Rooster Tails and small white grubs on a 1/32 fly fishing jig head.

You will get line twist but you will catch a lot of bream, crappie and small bass.

I caught a largemouth over 3 pounds on an ultra light at a private poind. Don't know who was more surprised, me or the fish!!!!!

And remember, read, read and read some more and then go out and give what you read a try.

Welcome to the Forum.

For ultralight crankin',I like to throw 1/8 oz. Ratl-Traps, Mann's Baby 1-, original Rapalas (in the smaller sizes), Rebel Wee Craws and Crickhoppers, etc.

It may not be ideally suited for it, but I love throwing senkos on an UL rod. I just generally leave the hook point exposed so it's easier to hook the fish. I do miss fish, but I don't mind.

Springtime on the local reservoir here and the 18-20" smallies eat those things up all day long. So much fun on the ultralight.

Rooster tails, Bitsy Minnows, and Strike King mini-3 cranks.

I like to fish 4" senkos wacky style on my ultralight. I have caught 3 LM over 5 lbs that way. An absolute blast!!!!

Strike King Bitsy Minnow. If I'm using an UL that's all I need to use. I've got almost every color. The all white one and the brown and orange one have had the best luck for me.
