Bassday Range Minnow II 70S Sinking Lure 9 grams HM-114

70mm | 9g | Sinking | minnow | HM-114

The Range Minnow II 70S Sinking Lure 9 grams is a sinking minnow for fishing baitfish patterns with more depth control than a floating plug.

It is the kind of lure you use when predators are not quite on the surface but are still feeding within casting range.

Start with a steady retrieve to find the swimming speed, then add twitches or rod sweeps to make it flash and break line.

Because it sinks, you can count it down through the water column and keep it in front of fish longer than a shallow floater.

It suits estuaries, rock edges, beaches, harbour walls, and current seams.

The limitation is shallow snaggy ground; if you cannot keep it above the structure, switch to a floater or a shallower runner.

The HM-114 finish should be picked for visibility rather than treated as a magic colour.

Run cleaner, more natural-looking finishes in clear water and decent light; move to stronger flash, glow, or brighter contrast when the water is stained, the sky is dark, or fish need help finding the lure.

If the colour is too loud for calm clear water, drop to a subtler pattern before changing the whole lure style.

TARGET SPECIES: sea bass, flatfish, snapper, trevally, bluefish, bass, and other predators hunting baitfish.
