Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow Sinking Sardine - 6in, 1 1/4oz

Overview

The Daiwa Salt Pro Minnow Sinking Sardine is built for saltwater pursuit with a lifelike presence and reliable casting. In a compact 6-inch profile weighing 1 1/4 oz, this bait blends a fast, ripping retrieve with an erratic, side-to-side swim that can draw attention from wary predators. With its sinking design, you can explore a range of depths and adapt to changing conditions without swapping lures.

Crafted to engage on-step anglers, this lure combines a realistic laser sardine color, a precise scale pattern, and bright 3-D eyes to deliver a convincing silhouette under water. Heavy-duty saltwater hooks provide confidence when a strong bite comes through the line, while the integrated weight transfer system helps you cast farther and with better control in a variety of conditions.

The lure feels balanced in hand and responds to a clean, aggressive retrieve. A subtle tail kick translates into a lively water column presence, helping the lure stand out in both clear and murkier water. The construction is designed to stand up to salt, abrasion, and the rigors of day-long sessions on the dock, jetty, or open coast.
