Fleeing Minnow

The Fleeing Minnow is designed to imitate a beaten‑up baitfish desperately trying to escape — the exact visual cue that triggers predatory instinct strikes. Its face is finished in a red fluorescent glow, giving the appearance of fresh injury, while the back end flashes a fluorescent chartreuse hit that predators can’t ignore.

A subtle blue scale pattern runs along the top, adding a natural shimmer that activates in sunlight and clear water. The combination of wounded‑bait realism and high‑visibility fluorescent accents makes this pattern deadly for reaction bites in pressured or clear-water conditions.

Why It Works

• Wounded Minnow Profile — Predators key in on injured bait. The red fluorescent face mimics blood and distress, flipping the aggression switch instantly.

• Chartreuse Flash Zone — The fluorescent chartreuse under the tail throws a sharp, high‑contrast flash that stands out even in stained water.

• Blue Scale Topline — The faint blue scale pattern adds realism and subtle shimmer, helping the lure blend in just enough to fool pressured fish.

• Suspending/Slow‑Sink Action — According to your product data, this bait suspends/slow sinks, which keeps it in the strike zone longer and forces fish to commit.

• 4–6 ft Strike Depth — Its diving range hits the sweet spot where bass ambush wounded baitfish. 

• KVD Mustad Hooks — Sharp, reliable hardware ensures solid hookups on short‑strike reaction bites.
