Product benefits
The
DUO Tide Minnow 175 Flyer is built for anglers who want to optimize every cast when
shore fishing. As the sinking version of an already acclaimed model, this
minnow crankbait features a design engineered to reach substantial distances without sacrificing swim quality.
Thanks to its refined profile and specific balance, this
sinking lure projects easily to hard-to-reach areas where the wariest fish often hold. It allows you to cover a wide sector and methodically prospect distant edges, drop-offs or current-swept zones without needing to move too close to the mark.
Another major advantage of the
Tide Minnow 175 Flyer is its ability to remain fully effective up to the
last meter of retrieval. Where some lures lose action, become unbalanced or surface too quickly, this model keeps an attractive swim, increasing strike chances right in front of your feet — when many anglers relax their attention.
Versatile in its presentations, this
sinking minnow lure is suitable for both experienced anglers and those progressing their skills, who seek a reliable, consistent and easy-to-handle tool for shore sessions.

Advantages and key points
The primary advantage of the
DUO Tide Minnow 175 Flyer is that it precisely meets the needs of anglers who must cast far to reach key areas. Its design harnesses the energy of each cast, reducing wind effect and promoting a tight trajectory. For fishing from sea walls, beaches, rock stacks or any elevated spot, this casting ability is a considerable asset.
Its behavior in the water also delivers real ease of use. On retrieval, the
sinking minnow remains easy to control, even when worked quickly or over long distances. The angler clearly senses its action and can immediately adjust speed or cadence depending on fish activity.
Maintaining effective action up to the shore is another strong point. Many strikes occur in the final portion of the path, when a fish follows the lure before deciding to bite. The
Tide Minnow 175 Flyer has been specifically designed to stay effective during this crucial phase, keeping a consistent and attractive swim throughout the retrieve.
Finally, its inclusion in a renowned range provides a
reliable and proven lure that can be confidently included in a selection of crankbaits for demanding fishing.
Usage tips
To get the most from the
DUO Tide Minnow 175 Flyer, exploit its long-distance casting ability. Aim your casts at promising areas (depth changes, distant edges, wash zones, marked currents) and vary angles to cover as much water as possible.
A straight retrieve at a steady pace already makes the most of the
minnow lure’s action. Don’t hesitate to regularly change cadence: accelerations, slowdowns and neutral phases can trigger bites from hesitant fish. You can also add slight twitches or short pulls to provoke erratic movements and create an extra signal.
Until the
last meter of retrieval, stay focused: continue to work the lure properly and avoid lifting it out of the water too abruptly. Many strikes happen when it passes close to the shoreline or beneath the rod tip.
Adapt your line strength and drag settings to the situation, favoring a sufficiently progressive setup to absorb powerful runs while keeping good control of the lure.
