Lucky Craft Flash Minnow

[trav]

Hey guys,

My local tackle shop had their complete selection of Lucky Craft at 50% off.......insane.... I know.....so I picked up several.  One was the Flash Minnow 95 MR.  On the box it says it runs at less than a foot, so i figured maybe it's used as a topwater stickbait.  But it is also a suspending model, not a floater.  So my question is, is this just an extremely shallow running jerkbait?  Any explanation would be greatly appreciated!

This bait will run about 3 feet deep.

The Flash Minnow 95MR is solidly built. It is a smallish lure but has the bigger hooks and chutzpah to handle decent fish.

This bait casts like a rifle shot due to some heavy ballast in the back of its tail. Not only does this tail weight give it casting distance, it gives it an up and down seesaw effect. When you twitch or reel it, the diving lip forces the nose down. When you pause it, the rear weight forces the tail down. This creates a seesaw effect from front to back as well as the typical side to side zigzag jerkbaits are known for. One way to describe the Flash Minnow 95MR, is that it has a looser, wider, slower action than other jerkbaits.

This is an excellent bait IMO, there are times when fishing grass flats late spring when the weeds are up higher that bait will really shine. I've caught some very nice sized fish on this one over the years.

I have never used the Flash Minnow, but I do know that Randall, a member here and full time guide, loves it.  He fishes it like Primus, over the grass flats.
