Has anybody tried the bionic minnow? If so can you give any tips?

Do you have any pics? I need to see the color and presentation of the lure to give the best tips. See if you can find a picture of it on a website and just copy and past it into another post. That will ensure you that you can get several good pointers on it from our vast bank of knowledge on this site.[]

Now we're talking. Those look like they are primarily bass lures. They can be used in fresh and salt water if you chose. They would proably be best presented like a vertical jigging method as well as drop shot. You can even hook them up Carolina rigged.

I can't tell if there is any weight to them or if they are hollow. If they do have weight then vertical jigging should be best. If they are hollow then you can hook them up for dropshotting.

The color variations appear to be those of baitfish so they should work well on Largemouth Bass as well as Small Mouth Bass up in the northern territories.


If you are into ocean fishing, then I would sub the squiggly for a nice piece of squid or calamari to rack up some scores on Calicos. Thanks for the pics and sharing with us.


Those things are supposed to be the new revolution of modern fishing. I would have to test them myself before making any solid recommendations.


I hope that this will be of help to you.

Happy Fishing

Hey there skydemon,

Whoa...... I'm a Calico Bass (saltwater) angler who loves to use plastics (fishing kelp beds and and rocky dropoffs). What I see here is potential.... If I can put those wiggly heads on my AA's, Big Hammers, Fish Traps, and even altered whams/blams. I just may have a Spring killer of an innovation. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh Don't say a single word to so. cal. anglers (only joking).

Thank you for the neat idea. I'm gonna put super glue on the cork screw to make sure I don't lose my plastic on the first bite. Additionally, better yet, a trap/stinger rig might be the ticket to keep the rubber to the road..... er .... water.

From the look of the heads, I'd say that these are designed as interchangeable soft-bodies crankbaits. As tubeN2 said, it's hard to tell how much weight is really on those from the pictures. Great concept though! Wire screw-on design to hold the soft bodies on. I'm guessing these are either boyant or suspending.

They'd definitely be good for bass around here. I can easily see some Northern's in this area attacking them also.

G'day SK.

What fish do you typically target or want to target, fresh or salt?

Let us know and that way we can also comment about colors that work best with different species as well.

Heh, I don't think he could handle winters here in the upper states. Then again, I grew up in the desert and I'm handlin' it just fine. Guess it takes a few dead brain cells to make someone wanna live up in these here parts. Beautiful winter is. But I ain't really been fishin' for trout. I did catch one rainbow in a local lake that's stocked a couple times a year. Wasn't paying attention. I was tryin' to get my girlfriend's kid's line untangles when my bobber went under. If it weren't for him, I probly woulda lost the fish. He hollered louder than a cat when it's tail is stepped on!

Now as far as them long-undies go... I finally bought some after 5 1/2 years up here. Might need them for ice-fishing.

But just like you, I can't wait 'til everything thaws and we can splash around in the lakes and streams (or in my case, the upper Mississippi) again.

Nope. The Mississippi isn't designated as holding trout. Odd. You'd think that since most bodies of water are fed, or feed, the Mississippi then there would be some. Maybe it's cuz of the carp population that there aren't any.

[patches]

are you in missippi?? or where, well, there,s pike, bass, walleye, and those muskies, we have in the connecticut river, which are a cross betwixt a pike and walleye i believe, can,t member but i think thats right, which they ALL EAT TROOUT! darn em. not just the carp. so that,s probably another reason then,. most anythin will feed on em. horn pout won,t, well what you call the cat fish, or suckers, we knwo that, cause there bottom feeders, and the trout only love good clean cold deep waters too. they won,t live in anyother. theres trout in some areas of the connecticut, and run hte brooks in the spring to spawn, but it,s like i said in those areas where they can hide, and i believe if they like the brook they,ll stay there too. i had to laugh one spring fishin. there was still ice on the brook in the hole i was fishin one year and snow on the grounds good that 2nd week of april, and i was fishin. he come out the hole all silver i put him in the freezer and took him out to eat him and he,d turned ack to his original colors of the rainbow. haha temperature change betwixt the brook and the freezer. temp. haha different type of freezin haha later[][]

I'm in Minnesota. Most of our waters aren't clean enough for trout but there are a few that are. If you're looking for some nice Walleye, Pike, Musky, and Smallmouth fishin', you should come out here.
