Unfortunately, Rapala/Luhr Jensen discontinued that size. Now, the smallest Herring is a 1/2 oz...a little too heavy for the rocks. Fortunately, the Sonic BaitFish took over the slack and has established itself as maybe even better than that 1/6 oz Herring.
Still using them on Erie to this day also have a few 1/6 , 1/4 and 1/3 left that you sent me years ago guess who. 27ft sportcraft drawbridge marina....
