Ants (5 Pack)

The best panfish bug bait you can keep in a pocket Fish love bugs landing on the water, and ants are a favorite for anglers chasing bluegill and other panfish. DeLong’s Ant 5‑Pack combines a realistic, slow‑sinking insect profile with scent and durability—exactly what anglers need when fish are feeding near the surface or under cover. This pack is your go‑to when you want bites fast, even without live bait. Your page already notes this is a top bluegill choice and pairs well with the slightly larger Bumblebee; the description emphasizes slow sink, realistic look, and scent advantage. Delong Lures That’s the core reason these sell. Slow sink + real smell = more bites These ants sink very slowly, mimicking a dying insect falling from a tree—perfect for panfish on ultralight gear. The slow descent gives bluegill, crappie, perch, and trout time to find and bite. They also work great under a bobber, letting you watch the strike or keep bait in the strike zone with minimal effort. Because the hook is already molded in, there’s no rigging hassle—just tie, cast, and let them do the work. Built to last, not just to look good Each pack includes: 5 pre‑rigged ants ready to fish Size 10 hooks molded in for reliable hook‑ups Anise scent mixed into the plastic , not just sprayed on Hand‑poured, durable soft plastic designed to hold up after catching fish Proudly Made in America since 1946 That combination makes this an excellent backup when live bait is unavailable, and a reliable staple on any panfish trip. Great for kids and beginners Ants are simple to use, exciting to watch, and extremely beginner‑friendly: cast, let them sink, or fish under a bobber. Kids see the lure and fish hit it—often repeatedly—so the experience stays fun and engaging. This is exactly the kind of lure that turns a casual outing into a memorable trip, especially when you want to keep things simple.
