they work good in early summer june, early july, on the canal. some days that is the only thing they will hit. i reel mine in fast, sometimes as fast as i can, and it seems to work pretty well. |

Yes they do work, my tune has changed on them. Still not nearly a favorite in most places, but they have their time and place for sure.  |

I caught so many at a small fish spot last year that I broke off all of the hooks on three of them.
Going to upgrade the split rings and hooks this year and see how they do.

Or you could just get the Savage version of that style. The manic minnow, its through wired, a bit heavier and has good hardware right out of the box. It has the weight transfer system too should cast very nice.

Does your incessant whining make you feel better? How about you just shut the hell up and suck it up? It's a fishing forum , so please just stop.

older thread .. Since this post I had another stella day with SP's.. I had 4 Sp Minnows with me ,, I missed the morning bite that I heard was great . Made it to the canal at about 10 am .. No fish showing on top but cast one (SP)out and let it swing and fish on every cast for 4hrs. high teen to mid twenty pound fish . I trashed all 4 minnows and ended the day live lining macs . 1st 2 hrs. all alone until a cell phone showed up .. After that a lot of people got in on it . I love this lure but only have this confidence in it ,at the canal .

Keep fishin it, deffinately not just a ditch killer, especially in a particular harbor that starts with a B. The silver color with the blue back and dots on the side was the most productive for me, but im itchin to try the new sandeel and bone colors |
something clever and related to fishing

Thanks ,,, yea ,, my favorites are the line and the dots ... not so much the mackerel ... I think it's a better sand eel than a mack . |

No Clammer. I mentioned the Manic Minnow, its made by Savage, not Diawa. Seperate company. They came out with a similar plug to the SP, but made it heavier and through wired. Stock out of the box they are 1.3 oz. They are also making a 2 oz version.

There's alot of ways to rig these. Alot of guys have said a siwash kills the action. The way MikeP described earlier in the thread is how alot of guys rig them. I did a test one day and found what I liked . Brought down a few rigged differently they all had no tail hook (tail hook treble kills too many fish) they were rigged with 1/0,2/0 and 3/0 trebles on belly only. I found with the 1/0 there were alot of hits and misses...2/0 was better but a 3/0 on belly worked the way I liked it without killing the action. If anything it seemed to swim a bit deeper which had excellent results. |
