Half-inch floating beetle soft plastics built for size 14 and smaller hooks—tiny bait, big possibilities.
What it is
Introducing the Toe Biter—a true game-changer in micro fishing. These ½" micro beetle soft plastics mimic small water beetles with uncanny accuracy. Crafted from durable floating plastic and packed 8 per pack, they open up a whole new world of bites in the smallest water.
Why it works
Water beetles are everywhere in creeks, seeps, and slow pockets—exactly the kind of forage micro species and wary fish eat without thinking. The Toe Biter is built to look natural and move subtly, so it gets curiosity strikes and confident eats when bigger baits get ignored.

How to fish it
Fish it with a tiny split shot, under a float, weightless on light line, or on a micro drop shot. It’s built to be simple to rig so you can spend more time fishing and less time fussing.
Floating advantage
Made from a durable floating plastic, the Toe Biter stays riding high and natural, helping it hover and drift where beetles actually end up. That buoyancy keeps the presentation looking alive— especially in shallow seams, calm pockets, and micro current.
Appalachian Backstory
In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, tucked among the rolling hills, there was a creek locals called Toe Biter’s Creek. The name weren’t an accident.
Folks swore that creek was home to a legendary little water beetle known as the Toe Biter— tiny in size, but mean enough to earn a reputation. Old stories tell of kids wading barefoot and yelping when something “nibbled” at their toes like it had a mind of its own.
The tale got passed down with a mix of fear and respect. Because even the smallest critters in these hills can become legends… and the creek stays balanced because every little thing has its place.
