Quick take

A 2 5/8 in sinking twitchbait that mimics wounded baitfish for tarpon, snook and striped bass.

The Mirrolure 18 Mr Heavy Dine is a 2 5/8 inch sinking twitchbait in a chat black and silver finish, weighing 7/16 ounce. It is built as a heavier sibling of the MirrOdine and works at depth below the surface. Built-in rattles and 3-D eyes add sound and a lifelike look for anglers working it through the water column.

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

  • Sinking action limits working shallow water
  • Larger profile requires heavier line than finesse lures
  • J hook catches less reliably than treble on short strikes
