Quick take
A slow-sinking saltwater crankbait with high-pitch tight roll and long-distance casting.
The Shoreline Shiner Z Set Upper 125S-DR is a 4.9 inch slow-sinking minnow from Daiwa that weighs about 0.9 oz. It is built to hold the middle layer on a slow retrieve with a tight wobbling roll, and it can be worked deeper with rod work and retrieve speed. Three treble hooks and a compact body make it a casting-friendly pick for anglers working shorelines and current seams.
Best for
- Saltwater bass and mackerel
- Wind-resistant long-distance casts
- Middle-depth retrieves in 6-foot water
Skip if
- You need a surface-feeding lure

Strengths

- Aerodynamic body casts 79.5 meters
- Tight wobble and rattle appeal to medium-size bass
Trade-offs

What you need with it
A 0.9 oz crankbait is usually fished with a long casting rod, a baitcasting reel and 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon line.
- Casting rodsA long medium-heavy rod with a moderate action throws a heavy lure far and absorbs its pull.
- Baitcasting reelsA slower gear ratio makes a deep-diving lure easier to reel all day.
- Fluorocarbon lineSinks, so the lure reaches its depth; 10 to 15 lb for this weight.

About this type
A crankbait is a hard-bodied lure that wobbles on a steady retrieve; most have a lip that sets how deep they run.
On a lipped bait, a bigger or steeper lip usually sends it deeper.
Most lipped crankbaits float at rest and dive when reeled, so a pause lets the lure back up and away from a snag.
Compared with Jerkbaits: A jerkbait is worked with twitches and pauses and often suspends or floats; a crankbait is reeled.
