Description

Red Shiner Minnow Spinner "Copper and red knocks 'em dead!" as the old saying goes - some swear by this colour combination for spring bass, pike and trout, but you'll find red and black lures producing results any season! Fosco Minnows are carved from 100% solid Canadian spruce - sealed and double coated with epoxy for maximum durability - and weighted to run true every time with a light-but-steady sinking speed. Designed with realism, simplicity and tradition in mind, these Minnows are perfect for novices and experts alike - simply cast and retrieve; the spinning blade flashes and churns the water, catching and keeping the attention of predators, while the colourful bait-fish body and dressed hook entice aggressive strikes - an absolutely deadly combination that bass, pike, walleye, salmon and more attack with ferocity! Every Fosco Minnow is constructed by hand in Canada using premium-quality components and materials made in Canada and the U.S.A., and features a made-in-France VMC® Hook.

Field Notes

Cast and retrieve around trout water when you want flash, vibration, and a steady moving target. The spinning blade and dressed hook make it useful in clear to slightly stained water, especially when fish are active and willing to chase. It can also work for other predators, but the red shiner color is especially noted for spring use.

Pros

  • Hand-carved wooden body with durable epoxy finish
  • Spinning blade adds flash and vibration
  • Simple cast-and-retrieve presentation
  • Light-but-steady sinking speed helps cover water

Cons

  • Less effective when trout are inactive or tightly holding
  • Single moving presentation may be too aggressive in very cold or ultra-clear conditions
