Quick take
Small floating minnow with natural finish and tight wiggle action for trout and panfish in springs and fall.
This 2.75-inch floating minnow plug in a silver and black finish runs shallow, working the top couple of feet of water. It has a weight transfer system for longer casts and a tight wiggle that imitates a fleeing baitfish. Anglers fishing shallows for trout around dawn and dusk can cast or troll it.

Skip if

- You need a lure that mimics larger baitfish
Strengths

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.
