Quick take
A 140mm deep-diving swimbait with weight-shift technology for saltwater trolling down to 9 meters.
This 5.5-inch sinking minnow in Red Head is built for anglers who want to reach deeper water, with a long lip that dives to a depth of 20 to 27 feet. A rattle adds sound to its classic swimming action, and the sinking design keeps it working below the surface. It fits trolling and casting for saltwater species.
Best for
- Trolling in open ocean for tuna and large pelagics
- Saltwater fishing where depth control matters
- Anglers using heavy trolling outfits
Skip if
- You fish freshwater or shallow bays
- You cast from shore
Strengths
- Weight-shift system creates a rattle and erratic action during retrieval
- Through-wire construction and heavy-duty split rings resist large fish
- 3D eyes and laser-etched scales mimic realistic baitfish appearance
Trade-offs
- The 50-gram weight requires heavy tackle and strong casting arm
- Deep diving design makes it hard to control in shallow water
- Not suited for light spinning setups
