The Minnesota Minnow is a mag sized spook style bait. Doc Holiday put me in touch with these lures which he's having done up in various patterns including the trout bait here and a glow white. I believe the body is OEM'd by some musky lure companies but am not sure on the details there.

The Minnesota Minnow is similar to the River2Sea Rover 230 in size and shape but the head is more Lucky Craft Sammy. The way the baits walk is more subtle than the Pupfish but louder than a Lunker Punker.

It takes some effort to work this bait. This would be a good candidate for 80lb braid and a Curado 300 to get the higher gear ratio. Doc tells me he's had some great strikes from big striper and largemouth on this bait down in Southern California.

Check out it, drop in a review comment if you have one of these guys:
