Overview

The S.M. Sinking Minnow 70 is a compact Japanese sinking minnow designed for precision casting and a natural baitfish presentation. Its slim 70 mm profile and weighted body make it ideal for targeting predatory fish in estuaries, rivers and light coastal environments. The bright chartreuse and silver finish improves visibility in coloured water and draws reaction strikes from a wide range of Australian species.
