These work great. I 've caught fish from Jersey to Mexico with these. The biggest so far was 30lbs. These lures produce, and I always have a couple on me. These catch fish when nothing else is. I 've caught Blues, Stripers, Jack's, and even Fluke on them. They cast well and are well worth the price.

The SP Minnow has become my go to. I plug the beaches and back bays of Long Beach island and surrounding areas. I never leave home wihtout at least 2 of these plugs in my bag. I have had many nights where i couldnt find a fish until I threw this plug and then couldnt stop catching fish. A MUST HAVE in any fishermans box.

5 JohnL
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.

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 El pescador de Colorado
When used in conjunction with a simple jig head, a beetle spin or an underspin jig head, this Gulp bait has really helped me catch big crappie, some nice largemouth, and a number of walleyes this spring.

I used this lure in Wisconsin. It was bass pattern and had the three treble hooks. The lure performed beautifully staying a foot under the water and acting like a wounded bait fish.

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!

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.

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.

Nice smaller twitch bait that suspends perfectly. More body roll than side to side darting. Casts far and catches bass

5 Piscator
I 've been fishing fresh and salt water with the Johnson's Minnow spoon for over 60 years and find them perfect for fishing the grassy flats, weeds and pads for nearly all fish. I always hook on a plastic grub or pork rind strip as I believe that enhances the effectiveness. Some times I 'll cast onto a pad and wiggle it off, or let it settle on the bottom, then retrieve with a small jerk similar to fishing a plastic worm. It casts easily so 1/4 oz. is good for most spinning outfits, while 1/2 oz. works best with a casting rod. For me, silver has been the best all around, but I 'm trying out colors too, especially for salt water. If I had to fish just one spoon this would be it because of it's versatility.

Frequently Asked Questions For Minnow Bait

Minnow bait is effective for catching a variety of freshwater and saltwater fish species. Common targets include bass, trout, walleye, and panfish. The natural movement and appearance of minnow bait can attract these fish, making it a popular choice among anglers.

Minnow bait offers several advantages, including its lifelike appearance and movement that can entice fish more effectively than artificial lures. It often has a strong scent that can attract fish from a distance. Additionally, minnow bait can be used in various fishing conditions, making it versatile for different fishing environments.

To rig minnow bait effectively, anglers can use various techniques depending on the fishing method and target species. Common methods include using a jig head, a drop shot rig, or a simple hook-and-sinker setup. Ensuring that the bait is securely attached and positioned to mimic natural movement can enhance its effectiveness.

Minnow bait tends to be more effective during warmer months when fish are more active and feeding aggressively. Early morning and late evening are often prime times for fishing with minnow bait, as fish are more likely to be near the surface. Additionally, using minnow bait in areas with abundant natural forage can increase success rates.

Minnow bait can be made from various materials, including soft plastics, rubber, and natural ingredients. Soft plastic baits often incorporate scents and colors to mimic real minnows, while hard baits may use durable materials for a more realistic appearance. The choice of material can affect the bait's action and durability in the water.
