Questions about Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow Sinking

Slow sinking?

Answer: hey. this SP will sink fairly slowly. not fast at all unless you are reeling it in at a fast rate.

Anyone compare this side by side on the same trip with to Lucky Craft for surf fishing? Thanks in advance for any help.

Answer: I used it on shore surf fishing - blue fish hit this like crazy with occasional stripe bass schoolie bite

How far below the surface does it swim with moderate retrieve....thinking calico bass at Cedros Island

Answer: i would say 4-6'...got to be real careful if rocky/big depth changes...http://www.daiwa.com/us/contents/lure/salt_pro_minnow/index.html

Daiwa salt pro minnow sinking and floating pictures are same ,what is the real difference please explain?

Product reviews of Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow Sinking

de Jeep : Very happy with this order.

Really nice looking lure, very happy with this order, fast shipping. Thank you

DANIEL R. : Best Lure

Great lure

Carlos : Exelente producto

Totalmente de exelente calidad como siempre la marca respalda el producto

ErikENevarez : I would still buy it again

I tied it to my line and let it fly, first cast stuck and lost.

So I can’t say it helped me catch a fish. However, it looked good, swims good, and feel of good quality.

I would buy again, hopefully this time for more then one cast ????????‍♂️.

Marlow : Good lure for fall striped bass surf fishing

Casts well because of the internal weight transfer system -- better than the Bomber, Yo-Zuri and Rapala lures. Works with striped bass off of Long Island, NY.

Tony : Chrome color - Not accurate

I bought this lure thinking that it'll look as promoted. In person, this lure is shiny/silver chrome and has a dab of black on top of the head. I understand that I'm buying a "chrome color" lure but I thought that it would be a dark chrome/white to give this lure a bait fish color. This lure does not look like the one in the picture. Overall, lure is well built except for the hooks.

Thomas Butcher : Really like this lure

Extremely effective lure

R Code : Swims great, casts far on a windy day

Swims great, casts far on a windy day. Keep in mind to reel up faster close to shore or you'll snag on something on the bottom

MH : It Lured me into using it, and it works

I do like this SP minnow (Sinking). I've purchased a few patterns and have caught Stripers on the Sardine Pattern, Ghost (Which glows in the dark, they don't really say that in the description, but charge it with a Fenix or something, and it does glow at dusk/dawn), and I've also caught Stripers on the Semi Transparent Sardine pattern as well. I also had a huge 16" Red tail perch hit on the transparent sardine pattern as well.
Be sure to "Rattle" them before casting, either just shake them vertically by hand before you cast, or just twitch the tip of your pole to make sure the 3 buckshots inside are at the end. It's like golf, when you hit it right you know, it casts like a missile and gets good distance. Action is great and I've noticed all the stripers I got were "in the waves" when it comes to surf fishing, in that the Stiper are feeding like dolphins in the waves and that's when I noticed the strikes.
If you use a fast retrieve, they'll dive deeper, and as one commenter stated, if you retrieve slower toward shore you won't be bouncing off the bottom, although I would suspect bouncing close to the bottom would be good for maybe Halibut inshore.
I didn't replace my hooks, as the stock hooks seemed adequate, but I did remove the split ring on the nose, cause I don't like tying to split rings as they line can work its way through and start to slide out. Personal preference I guess.
Since it's a relatively long lure (6") I noticed if I get them on the rear hook, when they run I've been hooking them in the side as well with the belly hook, which of course makes you think you have a much bigger fish than you really do! But that's a good problem to have.
I've ordered a couple more, the chrome version and another ghost white, as I feel the ghost seems to be the most productive for Striper's and the chrome pattern will pretty much work, I think, for any big game fish.
And, to note, they actually don't "Sink" per-se. If you cast them and let them sit they'll sit belly down in the water with their head popping up, it's the retrieve that gets them down. I also give them a good full pull to get the buckshot rattling a bit for extra attraction, then a slow to moderate retrieve. When they're "in the wave" I try to keep it in the wave, as I mentioned, that seems to be when it's the most attractive to the Striper's. My application thus far has been surf fishing only, not via boats or piers.

Amazon Customer : Casts well with nice action

Casts well, nice action. Will be getting more colours.

SCARON90 : Great lure for striper fishing at night

Really like using this lite for striper fishing in New England at night. My only complaint is that the paint started falling off after 4 times of using it. I think it should last a little longer then 4 uses and 12 stripers.

Amazon Customer : Looks good hasn't worked yet

Used it for the first time yesterday for Stripped Bass (salt water) didn't catch anything. Looks good hasn't worked yet ! As my 14 y.o. says there's always tomorrow. As Dick Clark's ABS used to say I'll give it an 85 to dance to but wouldn't buy the record.

de Jeep : Very happy with this order.

Mike : My favorite striped bass lure.

I wish the vendor had provided key parameters in their description. Since they didn't, here it is: DSPM is short for Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow. This lure is 6 inches long (15.2 cm); thus the #15. S is for sinking. it weighs 1 1/4 oz or 35.5 grams. A floating version is available and it has the letter F in the product # instead of S.

This is a well made lure that's easy to cast and it swims very well. I've used it only on one trip, but it's already my favorite stripe bass lure. I got this as a gift from a friend, but I plan to buy a few more.

Kindle Customer : Good price.

Hell yeah!
Look out stripers!
