Quick take
A sinking stickbait with 3-D eyes and realistic scale pattern, designed for fast ripping retrieves on saltwater game fish.
The Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow in Black Purple is a 6-inch saltwater minnow weighing 1 1/4 ounces, made for anglers after predators such as bass. Its weight transfer system is meant for longer casts, and a scale pattern with 3-D eyes finishes the body. It carries a #1 hook, and a fast, ripping retrieve makes it swim side to side to draw attention.

Strengths
- Weight transfer system for longer casts
- Erratic side-to-side swimming action on the retrieve

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.
