Quick take

Floating saltwater minnow with 3D prism finish and fixed weight center for sharp darting.

This 3 1/2 inch floating minnow in Chartreuse suits anglers fishing shallow cover such as grass flats and dock lights. It floats at the surface and darts on a twitch-and-pause retrieve, then rolls on a steady one. A 3D prism finish and an internal hologram sheet add flash to the body.

Best for

  • Saltwater inshore fishing
  • Shallow reefs and structure
  • Mimicking small baitfish schools

Skip if

  • You fish freshwater
  • You need a sinking minnow lure

Strengths

  • 3D prism hologram retains color through fish bites
  • Fixed weight center creates reliable response
  • Stainless steel components resist saltwater corrosion

Trade-offs

  • 4 3/8 in size may overwhelm small fish
  • Fixed center weight limits depth adjustment
  • Floating design unsuitable for deep jigging

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.
