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 3/4-inch sinking Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow in bone is made for anglers working beaches, jetties and inshore water for striped bass and bluefish. It sinks slowly on slack line, letting the lure reach deeper water before the retrieve begins. Its tight side-to-side wobble and 1 7/8 ounce weight suit steady reeling, twitches and pauses.
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

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.
