An angler is only as good as the sport fishing gear he buys and uses. That’s why it’s important to consider the features of your lures and bait. While some anglers swear by a set type of lure, you may want to use a variety to increase the odds of catching fish.
The Sashimi Minnow mimics a minnow in several ways. First, it has a unique design that makes the minnow appear different colors from different sides. The color variation depends on the color of the lure, which comes in a several different shades from pink to blue.
Known as a trick lure, the Sashimi Minnow imitates the wobbling action of a minnow when you begin to reel it in. This creates under-water turbulence, which helps catch the attention of gamefish. Stripers, dorado, kings, bluefish, tuna, yellowtail, wahoo, and other types of gamefish can sense the wobbling motion in their lateral lines. The changing color helps trigger a reactionary bite, which sets the hook.
The Sashimi Minnow, manufactured by Yo-Zuri, also includes a patent-pending sound device that emits a distress call similar to that emitted by actual fish. This may help attract larger freshwater fish, including peacock bass and pike. When the lure is at rest, it floats. The lure weighs one ounce and is 5 1/8-inch long.
You can find the lure for sale through several sport fishing stores, including online vendors. Some even offer the lure at discounted prices, which can make it more affordable for your budget. When you look for tackle-box gear, you may want to shop at stores that offer a discount section. Often, you’ll find products from name brand suppliers for up to 50 percent off the original retail rate. On average, expect to pay between $14 and $25 for a pack of two. Grab a few for yourself or as a gift for your angling buddies.
