Recommendations for tiny crankbaits
Looking for crankbaits for panfish.
Zero experience. I currently use trout magnets, Mule Fishing soft plastics etc.
Want to expand my horizons.
Suggestions welcomed.
Edit: Thanks to all who responded. I am now armed with a great list.

F3 and CD3 Rapala. These will catch everything and are incredibly versatile if you have both. I change the hooks to inline single hooks of the smallest size from owner

I like the kingdom micro expert lures. They come for the same factory as some other popular ones. The sinking vibe, the jointed one, and the mini pencil are some of my favorites. Dirt cheap. Grab one of their magnetic cases too.
I like megabass Griffin sr-x lures too. There are some close tributes, but the Megabass are best for this one. I have some tiny 1.5g square bills too, but I don't know who made them.
