Short-bill minnows, due to their bait shape, are often the first choice in all types of fishing. This class of small minnows was conceptualized based on visual baits such as smelt. It is the starting point of lures that are straight and easy to notice. You can use this type of lure in a wide range of applications, such as letting them float to attract fish or agitating the fish seeing the lure. The Bevy Minnow series consists of the smallest 40-mm type and 45-mm type with a round cross-section, while the Bevy Pointer has a size of 48 mm and a plane that produces strong flashing effects. Although you can select which lure to use based on size, naturally the best way is to use the Bevy Minnow in slow fishing with a simple reeling-in action but use the Bevy Pointer in quick fishing where quick reeling or twitching is used. The Humpback is recommended in locations where water is flowing, such as in rivers. This lure, which sinks quickly and maintains stability even during quick retrieval, allows much quicker fishing action when the water is at rest. All minnows have distinctive actions, so anglers can use these lures to embody their desired effects, such as simulating an intruder entering the territory or a small fish being chased away.
The question of which minnow to choose, from the viewpoints of range and movement, changes according to whether you can actually see the fish eater or not. Different lures have varying weights of F, SP and S, and the range within which each lure can be kept is significantly different from others. When attacking fish at the water’s surface using the floating technique, etc., things seem simple in spring to autumn and your lure choice is determined by the specific fish eater. Surprisingly, however, in autumn the drifting technique becomes effective where you simply place your lure on current and let it float. This fishing technique changes the world view of plugs. On the other hand, there are techniques that make fishing easy with suspend and sinking minnows. Other than when you fish with a suspend technique, basically you should thrust the lure into the swimming range of fish eaters and then quickly get it away from there. The secret of producing the desired effects with minnows is to imagine the tension of an assassination scene in a Hollywood movie.
As for the silhouette to match the bait, the “match the bait” technique does not depend on the length alone. You can match the volume by matching the cross-section area. Particularly, when you want to draw the attention of fish from a distance in an area of clear water, throwing in a 7-cm lure to simulate a 7 cm bait will expose the line and cause the tackle action and movement to become unnatural. This is where the Humpback, a small lure with a wide reflection surface, comes in handy. You can master the deeper “match the bait” technique once you know you can create an appeal that is more effective than the size of the lure.
