The Jumpin' Minnow might be one of the easiest plugs to use ever made. Its perfectly balanced body makes it easy even for the beginner to create a "walk the dog" action that drives fish nuts. This lure is made of high impact plastic and is saltwater durable. We do not recommend fishing this bait with the hooks that come on it. This lure was designed for freshwater fishing, but is perfectly at home in the surf when retrofitted with 1/0 VMC hooks for superior holding power. This small lure has accounted for many bass in the 40lb class in the last few seasons and for good reason! With the built in rattles and irresistible injured baitfish action it just can't be turned down, even by cow bass. Works great for Striped Bass, Bluefish, Tarpon, Snook and even False Albacore, Bonito, and Bluefin Tuna.
