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.

5 LBI_Plugger
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 BassBuster56
Great plugCaught a 40 pound striper on this lure last Saturday in OC NJOnly drawback- middle treble hook opened up, but did n't come loseTail hook was fine

5 mjm200712
picked up a couple of these lures the other day, they are unbelievable. caught 4 stripers( 1 40 pounder) all on the sp minnows. I saw what baitfish were running and matched the lure to the baitfish. the stripers went crazy for it. they hit it so hard. i would defenitely reccomend it.

5 Huey1N
The color selection is screwed up. For example, the picture for `` bone '' is a minnow of another color. I selected bone, hoping that I would actually get the bone one, but I actually got the shad color. So be careful which one you select. The SP minnow itself is great though.

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 caught 20 fish( 19 bass, 1 panfish) last night, and a lot of them were caught on this baby. The bite is causes is unreal. It's so simple to use, aswell. I just reeled in a little then let it float and the jig head gave it a nice swimming motion. These base crushed it and it was a lot of fun. Excellent lure and I beg you to buy this!

5 Krocfoot
I can speak from alot of experience with this product. I use this these for freshwater trout that are locally stocked. If you impart the correct action, you will draw strikes when nobody else is.. i 've often outfished live fatheads. Also, if your intentions are to catch and release, using a 2 in jig like this with a 1/32 th oz head assures an easy liphook for quick releases. Ill tell you the secret, pretend your teasing a cat on your retrieve and fish will jump on it!

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!!!

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.

Awesome bait, caught 9 bass in the first hour I used it. The only downside is it only comes with 2 jigs and ca n't find the same replacement anywhere.

5 Fly
This is so far one of or my go to bait. Been out fishing everyone for the past 4 years... I wish they sold them in bulk. Thank you Berkley!!!

Have caught more bass on this lure than any other over the course of close to 2 decades. Best colors are shad, crawdad and perch. Works for largemouth and smallmouth.

5 trb4me
This bait worked great for me and caught many fish. Unfortunately, the plastic lip broke off on mine.

5 stuball56
This is an excellent addition to any tackle box. Works great trolled, cast, and is also a great top water for bass. Cast it out onto the glass smooth morning/evening water, let it sit a minute, give it a couple twitches and........... BAM, fish on! Looks fantastic, and it works. Rapala are the only `` crank baits '' I use now.

5 4Man
Great bait. This order was to replenish my stock.

I sorted through a clearance bin and found a special deal( Buy 5/Get 5). I located an assortment of Rapala Shallow Shad Raps and bought them. Great buy for a proven lure.

Have purchased several of these because they work! The jointed lures have good motion. Can just Cast, Retrive Slowly, and Catch Fish. Easier to use that a standard jerk bait.

5 Dickie69
I bought this lure in NY to fish the Erie Canal. I already have just about every size of this lure and various colors as well. Over the years, this lure has been a go to when the bite is hot or when it gets tough. The action on it is amazing. You can float it, twitch it, run it down a foot or two or deeper. A true classic that has produced many, many fish for me over the 30+ years I 've owned one!

5 Jmarquay

5 TheHiTorBowman
The Rapala Husky Jerk is fast becoming my favorite lure. From Large mouth to Crappie, from Small mouth to Blue gills, fish have attacked my silver husky Jerk's with relish. The other day, two hit my silver Husky Jerk simeltaneously and I landed both together. I now have several sizes in my tackle box and they are my go to lure.

This works very well with bass and pickeral. All colors are effective.

5 Monkey Arms
This lure is great. I caught something almost as soon as I tossed it in. However, it's too good for what I needed it for. We were doing catch and release and this is not good for that. The three hooks made it tough to get out in time. Luckily I was able to and the little fella was able to swim away, but I stopped using it after that. Started using fake worms and did n't catch anything else. It's very realistic looking. I 'm going to try to replace the three hooks with a single or just try to remove two of the three.

caught so many bluefish with this!! hands down one of the best hard baits i have bought

5 Barefoot Petr
Excellent lure for striped bass in the early season. The large profile is anatomically correct for menhaden( also called bunker), and the larger size limits the number of smaller fish able to hit it.

5 Tunasandwich
This is a tackle box must have it is like a long A bomber but it has a little more action which allows you to fish it a little slower which can be a bonus on some days. It will dive around 6- 12 feet on a normal cast.

5 1BigBob
Works well. Got a tarpon and a couple bass on the first trip.

5 Apexpredator74
Have used to catch inshore and offshore species. Best all around color is the ghost glass.

This is one of my favorite lures when we troll for Grouper in 10 to 15ft. water.

Frequently Asked Questions For Realistic Minnow Lures

When selecting a realistic minnow lure, consider features such as lifelike colors and patterns that mimic natural baitfish. Look for lures with realistic swimming actions that can attract fish effectively. Additionally, the material used in the lure can affect its durability and performance in various water conditions.

Realistic minnow lures are versatile and can be used in various fishing scenarios, including freshwater and saltwater fishing. They are particularly effective for targeting species that feed on baitfish, making them ideal for both open water and structure fishing. Depending on the design, they can be used for different techniques, such as trolling or casting.

Choosing the right size of a realistic minnow lure depends on the species you are targeting and the size of the baitfish in the area. Generally, match the lure size to the natural prey of the fish you are after. Smaller lures can be effective for panfish, while larger lures may be necessary for bigger game fish.

Realistic minnow lures are typically made from materials like plastic, wood, or rubber. Plastic lures are often more durable and can be designed with intricate details, while wooden lures may provide a more traditional feel and buoyancy. The choice of material can influence the lure's action, weight, and overall effectiveness in the water.

Yes, realistic minnow lures can be effective in various water conditions, including clear, murky, or turbulent waters. Their lifelike appearance and movement can attract fish even in challenging conditions. However, it's important to consider the color and size of the lure to match the water clarity and the behavior of the fish.

To enhance the effectiveness of realistic minnow lures, consider varying your retrieval speed and incorporating pauses to mimic the natural behavior of baitfish. Experimenting with different depths and using a combination of casting and trolling can also yield better results. Additionally, paying attention to local fishing reports can help you adapt your techniques to current conditions.
