Quick take
The Daiwa Sp Salt Pro Minnow is a 6-inch floating minnow in a sand eel finish, with a scale pattern and 3-D eyes. It runs about 3 feet deep on a retrieve and floats back toward the surface on a pause, which suits anglers working shallow saltwater edges. A weight transfer system helps it cast farther, and its side-to-side wobble suits both steady and twitched retrieves.
Best for
- Saltwater casting for salmon and steelhead
- Ripping presentations that trigger aggressive strikes
- Anglers seeking longer casting distance
Skip if
- You need subsurface presentations beyond 3 feet
- You fish freshwater only
Strengths
- Weight transfer system enables long casts without heavy tackle
- Heavy-duty saltwater hooks resist bending and corrosion
- Realistic scale pattern and 3D eyes mimic natural baitfish
Trade-offs
- Rapid-sinking design requires active retrieves to stay above bottom
- Erratic action demands skilled rod work for consistent results

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.
