O.S.P. Bent Minnow

The OSP Bent Minnow boasts a groundbreaking curved body design that allows for versatile retrieves, seamlessly mimicking a variety of baitfish movements to entice lurking bass. When dead-sticking, this lure emulates a wounded baitfish by floating on its side and creating subtle ripples with intermittent pauses and convulsive movements. Softly twitching the lure a few times, followed by strategic pauses, beautifully replicates the behavior of a weakened baitfish trying to evade a predator. For a more aggressive approach, a series of vigorous twitches creates a darting motion that mimics shad frantically fleeing from a hungry predator. Dead Sticking The Bent Minnow's unique body shape and sideways posture make a big impact - quite literally! Even when just floating on the water, this lure captures the attention of bass. It's the perfect tool for thrilling topwater action on your fishing trips. Try shaking it gently or let it drift naturally to play an irresistible game on the water.  Twitch and Pause The classic twitch and pause method is all about finesse. With a few light twitches followed by a pause, you can mimic a tired baitfish trying to escape. This subtle action draws in hungry bass like nothing else. Handle your rod softly to nail this delicate maneuver. The Bent Minnow’s design makes it dart perfectly with gentle twitches, imitating a vulnerable fish. Continuous Twitch on the Surface For a more high-energy approach, use continuous short twitches on the surface. This creates an unpredictable, erratic darting action that flashes light and mimics a panicked baitfish. The Bent Minnow’s wild movement will drive bass crazy, making them strike with force. Recommended Tackle Whether you prefer baitcasting or spinning tackle, the Bent Minnow has you covered. For baitcasting, a regular taper ML-M action rod up to 6-6.6 feet works great. If you’re using spinning tackle, go with a rod of the same length that can handle up to 3/8 ounce. Take your fishing game to the next level with the Bent Minnow. Its unique design and action make it a must-have for any angler looking to attract bass and have an unforgettable time on the water.   Length 106mm(4-1/5in.) Weight 10.0g(3/8oz.)
