Jackson Athlete Minnow

Jackson’s Athlete 55S FH is a freshwater-tuned suspending model based on the compact sinking minnow Athlete 55S, originally developed for light saltwater fishing. Its components have been modified to create a suspending configuration. It is designed to keep the lure in the water and give fish more time to see it in tough conditions, such as low-water periods, when they are less likely to respond to aggressive movement. As a suspending lure, it allows anglers to work a specific depth more slowly than with sinking or floating lures, and its ability to pause in the current while waiting for a fish to respond is one of its key features. Measuring 55 mm and weighing 3.2 g, it is equipped with fine hooks for stream fishing. It can be used to search while maintaining depth with a steady retrieve adjusted to the changes in current speed and fish response, or stopped once in the current to create a suspending presentation and give fish time to inspect the lure.
