I mainly fish for tigers and the lake I fish on they really key in on smaller baits in areas you would normally target walleye. I've been trying #7 Rippin Raps but i can't seem to keep tigers hooked on them and most of the times when I get the bait back after loosing the fish the hooks are bent. So I'm looking for something that might be a little bigger and a little tougher but not as big as even the mini Bondy wobbler, something in like the 4" range would be preferred.

Echotails make lots of different sizes. Vibrato comes in different sizes. These are not rubber like a Bondy, but they do catch fish.

I think people use Fuzzy Duzzits for that type of fishing. Never done it personally, just regurgitating stuff I've read.

Thanks for the interest! The Mini Wobbler is a great little bait. It's only 4.4oz and casts or jigs easily. It sells very well for such a small bait and we catch more than ski's with it. Our Bondy Hot Orba is a small compact bait too that has been out for 4 years now but really caught on last year. Hope this helps and good luck!

Storm makes their spin shads in all sizes right down to 3" or 4" i believe... They are super cheap too. They employ a rear colorado blade spinning around a wire on a clevis with a treble straight out the back end... If (when) it doesnt spin/look right try removing the treble and blade, cut the wire and form a loop with it right at the tail of the bait, add a swivel and re attach the colorado blade on the swivel (similar to a bondy) and rock it with just the top hook or tie wire to the jig eye and add a treble or two if you prefer. The photo ive attached is of them with both of these mods. If you dont want hooks on the bottom just slide a treble or split ringed single hook over the main hookpoint with a little shrink tubing and it will be more weedless and less snaggy. Fishes just like what you want it to and wont break the bank as an experiment.
Good luck.
