Quick take
6-inch saltwater minnow with weight transfer system for long casts and ripping retrieve.
A 6-inch sinking minnow in Chrome, weighing 1 1/4 oz and carrying a #1 hook. An internal weight transfer system helps it cast far, and it can be fished with a steady retrieve or a twitch-and-pause. Let it sink on a slack line before you start working it for striped bass and other inshore predators.
Best for
- Saltwater fast-retrieve fishing for active gamefish
- Long casting to distant structure or off-shore areas
- Trolling or casting in mixed saltwater species
Skip if
- You fish freshwater systems
- You need a slow-sinking or suspending profile
Strengths
- Weight transfer system loads into the rear for longer casts
- Versatile profile works with fast ripping or traditional retrieves
- 3D eyes and realistic scale patterns aid in triggering strikes
Trade-offs
- Heavier 1 1/4 oz weight requires faster retrieve to achieve depth
- Generic minnow profile may not match regional forage
- Saltwater saltwater saltwater use requires regular rinsing to prevent corrosion

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
