Stiffy minnows

Hi just thought i'd share my 2cents of experience with these lures

Stiffy minnows in silver color have been my go to lure for trout fishing. Trolled them at 3.0-3.4 kph. about 15-20M behind the yak on a 8lb fluro leader. Redfin love them too. Fish them at Fyans and Jubilee

Havent had much success with them in saltwater yet. Mayb need to work them a little slower for bream.

Hey I have recently started using them and have made significant progress. I now find the lure to be very versatile and I like it a lot.

To get them to swim I remove the splitring on the tow point and tie a loop knot. However, the quality and consistency of these lures is below average and rarely will I get one that swims straight! So I also have to adjust the tow point with some pliers. Once I have got it swimming straight I have been fishing them differently for different locations. if in snaggly territory I will use a very violent retrieve making the lure dart in all different directions as i slowly wind it in pausing the lure to let it rise over submerged branches if necessary. Otherwise I just twitch it a couple of times between long pauses.

I am still learning how to use this lure but I can see that it has awesome potential!

Hey Lobs,

Stiffys are good even if they magically disappear half way through your retrieve!
