Daiwa Dr. Minnow

The Pro's:
Designed for quick ripping just below the surface, the Daiwa Dr. Minnows have all the right characteristics to tempt a variety fish but all we are concerned about here are bass. I prefer these types of lures this time of year (spring) when largemouth and smallmouth bass are sunning themselves just below the surface. The Daiwa Dr. Minnow produces a wiggling of that of an injured fish. It contains rattles that you can hear from nearly a mile away (well not exactly a mile but the lure is loud!!). The Daiwa Dr. Minnow comes in eight different colors with the typical patterns of perch, shad etc. The Daiwa Dr. Minnow is relatively inexpensive priced at $4.99 a piece.


The Con's:
As with any lure that is designed to swim just below the surface, it sometimes pops up and doesn't perform as well as it should. Sure it will catch bass and a lot of other different type of fish that are out in the open sunning themselves but it is nearly worthless when fishing near weeds and other lake obstacles.


Is it a good Buy?
It has good days and when the conditions are right it is a sure fire hit. Its worth keeping one on hand and using this spring.
