I bought a bag of this bait at my local dicks store last week. I fish regularly on Cayuga lake which is located in the finger lakes in NY. I purchased some minnow soft baits as an alternative bait to my Berkley grub baits. I had lots of success in catching some fish including some blue gill, perch, and large mouth. I also caught tons! and tons! of gobies where I fished. These things have huge mouths and love the scented bait. I was only fishing of a dock so I did n't get the full experience of using this bait on a boat or kayak. I found that using a smaller hook worked well in catching the fish near me. I hooked the bait through the head and out the bottom similar to a carolina rig. The bait works well even after a few fish are caught and the bait is broken down. I suggest throwing the bait back in the back once finished so it can redial up the liquid in the gulp bag. All in all decent bait for a good price.

5 Fisher_of_fish
I use these on a chatter bait flashback mini, and get a crappie almost every cast when over submerged weedbeds. These are by far the most irresistible bait- both in taste/scent and texture- to most panfish. The chatter bait draws them, and these baits keep them. I use the 2. 5 '' black or emerald shiners mostly. Fire tiger works well on cloudy days.

5 JR Beardsmith
There is n't a fish, in my neck of the woods, that 'll pass this bait up! Always in my kit when and wherever I go freshwater fishing.

5 MHATW
I buy this pretty regularly because I run out pretty quick. I 've used these with great success fishing for Trout, bass, crappies, pickerel, in local rivers and on lakes, all seasons. Even ice fishing. Love this bait.

5 BassAssassin
I thought I ’ d give this a try and thought it might be a good fluke substitute. But I also thought it might work as a good trailer. And it did not fail… it did do both. Put it on the back of a chatter bait ‘ mini max ’ and hold on tight. It works magically. And still provides plenty of hunting action to the Chatterbait. I also pierced a few lips using it on a drop shot.

I suggest for Bass and crappie you use the smaller two sizes but if you 're looking for bigger bass or striped bass then you should go ahead to the larger sizes. I think any fisherman would be wise to have at least one of each size in the black and the blue in their tackle box at all times. I only wish I could afford to buy more than I have and I would give them to kids to help them get started. To me this is the Best bang for your buck lure on the market.

5 Rob
The 2 1/2 inch Rebel Jointed Minnow is above Excellent in the Southern Australian rivers, streams& lakes for both Brown Trout& Rainbows. It's swimming action is so much more than enticing, extremely life- like. Other styles and brands just ca n't capture the same seductive swimming action which the fish love. When the paint wore off I repainted the lures with a chartreuse back, dark green stripes& a lumo white underbelly which made it even more effective on cloudy overcast days. Great work Rebel.

5 Anonymous
Best lure I have ever used! I had one for over 15 years and could not find them again until I found them online today! I have caught 100's of fish on that one lure alone( 3. 5 inch jointed minnow). It had chipped paint and scratches from so much use over the years but still performed flawlessly. I had lost it this past weekend on a monster bass and I was devastated. Now I am buying several of them in several different sizes. No need to bring a tackle box if u have this lure. Works great working the banks from a boat or from shore casting out. Ca n't say enough good stuff about this lure! Thanks for still offering it for purchase after so many years.

5 Anonymous
This bait has a tried& true history in Manitoba Parkland trout lakes. Long lined and taken down to between 5- 8 feet we 'll catch most species of trout that we fish for. The only wish I have for this awesome lure is that they 'd bring back the `` baby bass '' pattern which in some of our lakes resembles the chubs our trout love to eat. Nonetheless, this is a great lure! My business' success is connected to this great bait.

5 Anonymous
I have used this Lure for years. If i do n't catch anything on this the Lure then the fish a n't there! try some where else.

5 JohnL
I bought this bait at my local dicks sporting goods store last week. I fish on Cayuga lake which is located in the finger lakes in Upstate New York. I purchased some Berkley grub minnows for fishing off of a dock near a marina and off of the shore near a small bank. I had lots of success in landing some fish including some blue gill, pumpkin seed, rock bass, and large mouth bass. Do n't let me forget to mention that I caught A LOT of gobies. These things have huge mouths and love the scented bait. You can definitely catch some 2 or 3 lb largemouth on these bait if you are fishing in the right area. I found that using a size 4 jawbone hook worked well with a Carolina rig for the fish I was after. I added a 1/8 oz weight about 5 inches from the hook. I received most bites and catches on sunny days with calm water in about 20- 40 feet of water. To retrieve the bait cast it out very far, then let it sink to the bottom. Then just slowly reel on the line every 5 seconds then let it sink then repeat. These baits tear away after you snag them or hook them multiple times. They also lose scent after a while so sometimes if it is reusable I wash it off then throw it back in the bag to soak in the juice.

5 Wyoming Rocker
I have used this product for years. It just simply out catches all other bait. I still try other baits but for consistancy I use Gulp. The availability of sizes and colors keep me ready for what ever type of fish are biting that day, especially the flounder!!!

5 Jacob
I Used the Tracdown for trout fishing, had the rainbow, and brown, I used the 5/8 size. The bigger size it seemed the trout did not want to hit it. With the 5/8 size the smallest fish we had for the day was around 16 in, We had a few in the 21 range, and even had one over 21. We used it somewhat fast moving water but it was pretty deep. we found out that if we was casting across the river current, that the lure was not giving the right action, So we would cast down river and bring it back to us, we had a fish on every few cast. One thing we found with the smaller one that we did not like was the fishing line would get around the front hook on some of the cast and we would just have to bring it back in and pull the line off. Because the lure would just spin in a circle. Would like to find a way to fix this, But i will still be buying the lure. Also the smaller lure is kinda hard to cast because it does not have much weight to get it out far. But we dropped line size and went to a ultra light rod and real and it fixed that problem. The two rivers we used this on was the White river in Arkansas and the roaring rivers in Missouri. Many people around us was asking what we was using because of the amount of fish that we was catching. We showed them, and told them were to buy them at. all in all, This was a awesome lure for trout and i cant want to go out again and see what we can get. I would recommend this for everyone to buy and try.

5 Anonymous
First time ever using this lure caught around 10 bass. It was crazy. I had the bass color and they just couldnt resist. Every 5 casts i had a fish. It goes pretty shallow and dodge underwater obstacles like sticks or tires. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great shallow lure!

Tried and true, durable soft plastic with great action. Stays on jigheads and holds up to toothy trout while still supple enough to have great tail action. Perfect size to match the bait size in summer/fall. Very affordable too

Good swim bait for attaching to jigs. Large enough to appear to be a saltwater bait fish. Plenty of color variety to match the appearance of bait fish in your area. Great price also!

I have been using these lures for over 5yrs now and I have caught just about every species of fish that's in Lake Erie on these lures. I would highly recommend these lures to anyone that's serious about walleye fishing. I saw that someone had mentioned the back hooks pulling out of the lures. I have never experienced this and I have caught walleyes in the 12lb. Range and also lakers that have been 20+ lbs and never had a fish pull the hooks out of the lure.

Excellent running lure out of the package with a wide range of colors to choose from. Started using last spring and landed walleye on lure untill ice up.

This is another one of my go- to lures. I find it to be very versatile, I use it as a wake bait or twitch and rise presentation; or just straight crank in. Either way this bait works for me for Slime Gators or Bass. the colors i found best are gold prism black bars orange belly, on my lake back home brook trout funnel into the lake where the Slime Gators wait for them i find that color match's the food source best.& when I 'm fishing Lake Erie or Ontario blue back either silver flash or prism works for me thanks for another great lure!!

Frequently Asked Questions For Mimic Minnow Lure

A mimic minnow lure is designed to imitate the appearance and movement of small fish, which are common prey for larger game fish. These lures often feature realistic colors and patterns to attract fish, and they can be used in various fishing environments. The action of the lure in the water is crucial, as it needs to mimic the natural swimming motion of a minnow to effectively entice fish.

Mimic minnow lures are versatile and can be used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are particularly effective for targeting species such as bass, trout, and pike, as these fish are often drawn to the appearance of small baitfish. Anglers can use them in various settings, including lakes, rivers, and coastal areas.

Mimic minnow lures are typically made from durable materials such as plastic or rubber, which allow for realistic movement in the water. Some lures may also incorporate reflective finishes or holographic elements to enhance visibility and attract fish. The choice of material can affect the buoyancy and action of the lure, making it important for different fishing techniques.

Choosing the right size of mimic minnow lure depends on the type of fish you are targeting and the local baitfish population. Generally, smaller lures are better for targeting panfish and smaller species, while larger lures can attract bigger game fish. It's also important to consider the water conditions and the size of the prey fish in the area.

Yes, there are various styles of mimic minnow lures, including hard baits, soft plastics, and suspending lures. Hard baits are typically more durable and can create a distinct action in the water, while soft plastics often provide a more lifelike movement. Suspending lures are designed to remain in place in the water column, making them effective for enticing fish that are not actively chasing bait.

When using mimic minnow lures, consider the seasonal behavior of fish, as their feeding patterns can change throughout the year. In warmer months, fish may be more active and aggressive, making faster retrieves effective. In colder months, a slower presentation may be necessary, as fish tend to be less active. Additionally, the size and color of the lure may need to be adjusted based on water clarity and temperature.
