National Gamefish Li'l Spunky Angling Guide
The bluegirl Li'l Spunky is praised as an all America panfish and top angling choice. Beginners use a light pole with 4 pound line and a size 12 hook, baited with worms, and fish around stumps and weedbeds with a bobber. A small popper near snags may produce strikes, while a tiny pork rind tag on a trout fly can tempt feeding panfish.
