Minkie
Small silvery baitfish
Trout · Sea troutSubsurface
A strip of mink fur lashed to a hook — it swims with a ripple and suggestion that synthetic materials struggle to match.
Fish this when
Late summer through autumn when trout are hunting fry. Retrieve slowly to imitate a wounded straggler or strip faster for pursuit.
Why it works
Mink fur has a natural action in the water that outfishes most synthetics. The undulating movement reads as genuine prey.
