How to Fish It
Cast out and allow the lure to settle, then work it back with a twitch-twitch-pause retrieve. The slow-floating buoyancy causes the bait to rise gently on the pause — imitating a stunned or injured baitfish that predators simply can't resist. Vary your retrieve speed and pause length to find the pattern that triggers bites on the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What depth does the B&U Slow Floating Minnow reach?
A: The B&U Explorers SHAD Slow Floating Minnow is designed to dive to a maximum depth of 2.0 metres. This makes it ideal for working the mid-water column in lakes, rivers, and reservoirs where predatory fish like pike and perch typically hunt.
Q: What fish species is this hard bait suitable for?
A: This jerkbait is primarily designed for targeting pike, perch, and chub, but its realistic minnow profile also works excellently for bass, trout, and other predatory species across both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Q: What is the best retrieve technique for this slow floating minnow?
A: The most effective method is a twitch-pause or jerk-and-stop retrieve. The slow-floating buoyancy causes the lure to rise enticingly on each pause, perfectly imitating a struggling baitfish. Experiment with pause length — longer pauses in cold water, shorter twitches in warmer, more active conditions.
Q: Does the lure come with hooks already attached?
A: Yes — the B&U Explorers SHAD Minnow comes with sharp treble hooks pre-attached and is completely ready to fish straight from the pack. No additional rigging or hardware is needed.
