DUO International’s Tide Minnow Slim is a minnow lure designed for saltwater fishing, particularly in surf environments. It combines the advantages of a long body with ease of use and a stable swimming action.
Available in sizes including 140, 175, and 200, it can be selected according to bait size, casting distance, and the depth range you want to target.
The Tide Minnow Slim 140 features an updated weight-transfer system, switching from a magnetically secured steel ball to a free-moving tungsten ball. Its design shifts the center of gravity rearward during the cast. Combined with the sharply tapered rear body profile, this provides a stable flight attitude and improves casting distance by approximately 10% or more compared with the previous model.
Measuring 140 mm and weighing 18 g, it is a floating model with a diving range of 0.6–1.0 m. Primarily featuring a rolling action, it has been tuned for a responsive action that easily grips the water, helping it maintain balance in the complex currents of the surf and around breaking waves. It is equipped with size 6 hooks as standard. Designed to search the surface to mid-water on a steady retrieve, it can also be used while maintaining its depth as it responds to changes in current.
