Quick take
A six-inch floating minnow designed for saltwater fish, working to three feet with a laser-shiner finish that reflects light in deep or murky water.
This 6-inch Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow is a floating saltwater lure that runs about 3 feet deep, so it works the surface and shallows with sharp rod rips. Its laser shiner finish, scale pattern and 3-D eyes give it a lifelike look for inshore predators such as striped bass and bluefish. At about 1 1/9 ounces it is built for long casts and fast ripping retrieves.
Best for
- Saltwater casting and trolling
- Reef and bottom structure fishing
- Fish that respond to bright, reflective lures
Skip if
- You need to reach depths beyond 3 feet without sinking
- You fish in heavy current where floating lures wash out of structure
Strengths
- Six-inch profile appeals to larger saltwater species
- Laser shiner finish is highly visible in stained or murky water
- Floats at rest, allowing pauses in the structure
Trade-offs
- At 1 1/9 oz, the weight limits long-distance casting in wind
- Floating design cannot target deep structure without a countdown
- J-hook snags easily in reef and rocky bottom
