DUO Tide Minnow 75 Sprint - 7.5 cm (Sinking Minnow)

Product highlights

The DUO Tide Minnow 75 Sprint is a sinking minnow lure designed for situations where fish focus on small prey or are particularly cautious. Its compact size and refined profile faithfully imitate a small baitfish while maintaining excellent stability in the water.

Thanks to an optimized internal balance, this sinking minnow remains remarkably stable during casting and retrieval. Despite its small size, it achieves significant casting distances, allowing quick coverage of large search areas without tiring the angler. This careful balance reduces rollovers and ensures a consistent swim, even during speed changes.

Designed to work in shallow zones, the Tide Minnow 75 Sprint typically operates between approximately 50 and 90 cm depth. This swim range makes it an ideal tool to effectively sweep the upper water layer, where small baitfish and hunting predators often concentrate.

Advantages and key strengths

The main strength of the Tide Minnow 75 Sprint lies in its ability to provoke strikes from both lethargic fish and predators in an active feeding frenzy. When predators focus on small prey, a compact minnow like this offers a particularly credible, reassuring presentation.

Its responsiveness on the retrieve allows instant switching between a smooth linear retrieve and sharper, more nervous actions. A quick rod tip twitch will make it perform short twitches or more pronounced jerks, creating sudden directional changes that mimic an injured or panicked fish. This animation versatility makes it possible to adapt presentation to current fish activity.

The combination of a dense body and precise balancing favors long, accurate casts. This lets you reach distant spots, explore edges, slightly deeper channels or current seams without having to approach the fish too closely. This added stealth is a decisive advantage when fishing pressured or educated fish.

Usage tips

The Tide Minnow 75 Sprint reveals its full potential on steady retrieves at moderate or faster speeds, punctuated with regular pauses. A simple technique is to cast, let the lure sink into its swim range, then retrieve steadily while adding short pauses to let it sink and stabilize.

To enhance its trigger effect, incorporate twitches (short, sharp rod tip pulls) and more pronounced jerks. These actions produce unpredictable lateral moves that imitate a disoriented baitfish. Varying cadence, pull amplitude and pause duration helps quickly find the combination that will produce the strike.

This sinking minnow adapts to many fishing situations where predators hold in the upper or mid water column. Whether in calm or slightly choppy conditions, its compact profile and tight swim help fool cautious fish even under heavy fishing pressure.
