DUO Tide Minnow Lance 160S Sinking Minnow Lure - 16 cm

Product highlights

The DUO Tide Minnow Lance 160S is a sinking minnow lure for sea fishing specifically developed to meet the demands of anglers seeking extreme casts and a reliable swim in all conditions. With its streamlined profile and optimized density, it offers a highly attractive silhouette that imitates a fleeing prey, ideal for triggering strikes from large marine predators.

Its main asset is its tungsten ball internal balancing system. This internal mechanism enables very efficient mass transfer at the moment of the cast, allowing impressive distances even against the wind or in rough sea. Once in the water, the weight distribution returns to swimming position, ensuring a stable and natural presentation.

The Tide Minnow Lance 160S is designed to adapt to a wide range of retrieval speeds. Whether you use a slow, steady retrieve, a faster animation or cadence variations, it remains perfectly balanced. This versatility makes it a top minnow lure for quickly covering large areas and adapting to changing fish behavior.

Aimed at targeting powerful fish, this model offers a generous bite profile that attracts the attention of hunters. Its volume and lively swim allow you to select larger specimens, whether fishing from shore or boat. Wherever you go, the DUO Tide Minnow Lance 160S proves to be a reliable ally for technical sessions as well as quicker outings.

Benefits and strengths

The DUO Tide Minnow Lance 160S stands out for its ability to easily reach distant marks often inaccessible with lighter or poorly balanced lures. This long-casting capability is a major advantage for prospecting distant fish schools, rock heads or surface bust-ups without having to get too close and risk spooking the fish.

Its animation versatility is another strong point. It handles both straight retrieves and interrupted retrieves with pauses, pulls or small twitches. This ability to change style without falling off or losing balance allows adapting to fish mood and triggering reflex strikes even when activity is low.

Built to face sometimes harsh conditions, this long-distance sinking lure remains effective when wind picks up or currents strengthen. Instead of dropping off course at the surface, it maintains a coherent trajectory, which reassures the angler and maximizes useful swim time for each cast.

Finally, its volume and realistic silhouette make it effective for targeting larger fish. It is therefore an excellent choice for seeking powerful marine predators that hunt substantial prey. For anglers wishing to step up and use a technical yet accessible lure, the Tide Minnow Lance 160S offers an excellent compromise between performance, ease of use and field effectiveness.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the DUO Tide Minnow Lance 160S, use a spinning or casting outfit suitable for sea fishing, with a rod stiff enough to propel the lure long distances while retaining good sensitivity. A smooth reel and quality braid will help optimize casting range and control of the swim.

Start with long casts, slightly quartering into the wind or current, then let the lure sink to the targeted depth. A steady, linear retrieve will immediately showcase its tight, energetic swim. Don’t hesitate to vary speed: slow down when activity seems low, then speed up or add sharp pulls to provoke predator aggression.

In areas where fish are wary, alternate animations: a few turns of the handle, a pause, then one or two twitches to simulate an injured prey trying to escape. These variations fully exploit the tungsten balancing system, which keeps the lure positioned and enhances realism.

After each outing, rinse your saltwater lure thoroughly with fresh water and check split rings and hooks. Regular maintenance extends the life of the Tide Minnow Lance 160S and ensures consistent performance over sessions.
