Tackle House Contact Feed Shallow Minnow 105mm 16g - Red Head Slig HG

The Tackle House Contact Feed Shallow Minnow is primarily designed for targeting sea bass in shallow water environments.

This lure performs best in shallow water depths ranging from 5 cm to 30 cm (approximately 2 to 12 inches).

Its unique action is a natural head-roll, which differs from the rolling action of conventional shallow minnows. This mimics a distressed baitfish, making it highly attractive to predators.

While designed for saltwater sea bass, its action and profile can also be effective for various predatory fish in freshwater environments that target baitfish in shallow zones.

A steady, moderate retrieve is generally recommended to achieve the lure's characteristic head-roll action. Experiment with pauses and twitches to trigger strikes.

This 105mm, 16g lure is best suited for light to medium-light spinning or baitcasting tackle. A rod with a sensitive tip and moderate-fast action will help you detect bites and impart the lure's action.

Always rinse the lure with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion. Dry it thoroughly before storing it to maintain hook sharpness and lure finish.

Check that the line is tied directly to the lure's eyelet or that the snap is not hindering its movement. Adjust retrieve speed; a steady, moderate retrieve is often best. Ensure the lure is not damaged or warped.

This lure is designed for shallow water (5-30 cm). If it's diving too deep, you may be retrieving too fast or the water may be deeper than intended for this lure. Ensure your line is not creating too much drag.

Inspect hooks regularly. Sharpen them with a hook hone or replace them with new, high-quality treble hooks of the same size.

Ensure your rod and reel are balanced with the lure's weight. Check for any line tangles or wind knots. Cast smoothly, using the rod's action rather than brute force.
