Quick take
A 2 5/8 in sinking twitchbait that mimics wounded baitfish for tarpon, snook and striped bass.
This Mirrolure 18 Mr Heavy Dine is a 2 5/8 inch sinking twitchbait in a silver and clear finish, weighing 7/16 ounce. Luminescent inserts add flash, and built-in rattles and 3-D eyes add sound and a lifelike look. It is built as a heavier sibling of the MirrOdine, so it sinks and works below the surface for anglers who want a lure that holds depth.
Best for
- Saltwater drop-offs and shallow flats
- Casting near structure on the incoming tide
- Sight-casting to cruising fish
Skip if
- You need to fish near heavy cover
- You want a surface-feeding topwater
Strengths
- Size and weight cover a wide casting range
- Twitching action mimics a fleeing baitfish
- Heavy dine sinking design reaches depth quickly
Trade-offs
