Northland Pan-Candy Minnow 2in Black – Ultra-Soft Panfish Lure by Northland Tackle

Overview

Meet the Northland Pan-Candy Minnow 2in Black, a purpose-built lure crafted for panfish anglers. At a compact 2 inches, its profile mirrors the small baitfish panfish chase, enabling efficient water coverage while maintaining a natural, lifelike look through the retrieve.

Constructed from Northland’s Pan-Candy TPE formula, this minnow stays soft and buoyant, responding to each movement with convincing action. The material’s elasticity supports dynamic pulls and deliberate pauses, so the lure can flutter and rise in the water column as you search for active panfish.

On the water, you’ll notice the minnow’s presence through its subtle, responsive movement. Its buoyant lift helps maintain visibility in the strike zone, while the soft body provides an inviting silhouette that emulates real prey.

Colors and water conditions

Pan-Candy Minnow is available in an array of natural hues and bright, contrasting colors, offering options for different water colors and light conditions. Whether you’re fishing clear lakes or areas with some stain, these color choices help the lure read in varying environments.
