DaiwaDaiwa Dspm S Salt Pro Minnow

I do like this SP minnow (Sinking). I've purchased a few patterns and have caught Stripers on the Sardine Pattern, Ghost (Which glows in the dark, they don't really say that in the description, but charge it with a Fenix or something, and it does glow at dusk/dawn), and I've also caught Stripers on the Semi Transparent Sardine pattern as well. I also had a huge 16" Red tail perch hit on the transparent sardine pattern as well.Be sure to "Rattle" them before casting, either just shake them vertically by hand before you cast, or just twitch the tip of your pole to make sure the 3 buckshots inside are at the end. It's like golf, when you hit it right you know, it casts like a missile and gets good distance. Action is great and I've noticed all the stripers I got were "in the waves" when it comes to surf fishing, in that the Stiper are feeding like dolphins in the waves and that's when I noticed the strikes.If you use a fast retrieve, they'll dive deeper, and as one commenter stated, if you retrieve slower toward shore you won't be bouncing off the bottom, although I would suspect bouncing close to the bottom would be good for maybe Halibut inshore.I didn't replace my hooks, as the stock hooks seemed adequate, but I did remove the split ring on the nose, cause I don't like tying to split rings as they line can work its way through and start to slide out. Personal preference I guess.Since it's a relatively long lure (6") I noticed if I get them on the rear hook, when they run I've been hooking them in the side as well with the belly hook, which of course makes you think you have a much bigger fish than you really do! But that's a good problem to have.I've ordered a couple more, the chrome version and another ghost white, as I feel the ghost seems to be the most productive for Striper's and the chrome pattern will pretty much work, I think, for any big game fish.And, to note, they actually don't "Sink" per-se. If you cast them and let them sit they'll sit belly down in the water with their head popping up, it's the retrieve that gets them down. I also give them a good full pull to get the buckshot rattling a bit for extra attraction, then a slow to moderate retrieve. When they're "in the wave" I try to keep it in the wave, as I mentioned, that seems to be when it's the most attractive to the Striper's. My application thus far has been surf fishing only, not via boats or piers.

Either early morning or night 🌙 this chicken scratch sp by Daiwa has out done itself!!! I've been killing the striped bass big time with it ! I think I'm gonna order 5 more so I always have them just incase something happens !!!

I tied it to my line and let it fly, first cast stuck and lost.So I can’t say it helped me catch a fish. However, it looked good, swims good, and feel of good quality.I would buy again, hopefully this time for more then one cast 💆🏽‍♂️.

I bought this lure thinking that it'll look as promoted. In person, this lure is shiny/silver chrome and has a dab of black on top of the head. I understand that I'm buying a "chrome color" lure but I thought that it would be a dark chrome/white to give this lure a bait fish color. This lure does not look like the one in the picture. Overall, lure is well built except for the hooks.

Great lure

I take about 10 of these to Mexico every year. My guide demands I bring them because they work so good. You MUST change hooks and rings because they are junk out of the box. I still have to give it 5 stars because they work so well on saltwater species.

Excelente produto

Casts well, nice action. Will be getting more colours.

Y vamos progresando con los envíos en Mexico, llego a tiempo y me lo entrego un carrito blanco de carga, marca renault del año, se me olvido preguntarle como se llamaba la compañía, excelente la calidad del currican, si era original, Daiawa, super chingon, mañana me voy a playas de tijuana a pescar con el, al las 5 am a ver como meva. Con lider del 90 y braided line del 30, pura madre que lo pierdo.

El material se ve de buena calidada, esperaba un señuelo un poco mas pesado.

My husband bought it for bass fishing and was very happy with it

Cast good, good action, good hook. Worth the investment

funciona muy bien en pesca de trolling,
