New for 2023, the Black Minnow 2.5 for 105 mm comes between the Black Minnow 90 mm and its big brother in 120 mm, which was the very first to be released. Different weights and colors for different uses?

3 carefully selected weights

Fiiish goes straight to the point, offering different weights for this new size.

Les différentes têtes plombées disponibles pour cette taille 2.5.
The different lead heads available for this size 2.5.
  • An 8-gram shore head designed primarily for drag casting, it gives the lure an accentuated rolling action.
  • The 12-gram search version. This head gives the lure an angle when in contact with the bottom, imitating a prey fish digging towards the bottom.
  • Finally, the 16-gram off-shore version allows the lure to swim both downstream and upstream. It's ideal for slow or scratch fishing. In all cases, the Texan hook greatly reduces the risk of hooking.

Available colors

Fiiish offers 4 colors for this new size. Obviously the two timeless ones, Khaki and Blue. These are the most versatile, the ones that follow me everywhere, whatever the size and model of Fiiish lure.

Les 2 coloris les plus polyvalents : le bleu et le kaki.
The 2 most versatile colors: blue and khaki.


Two other colors complete the range:

  • Wakasagi. To be used on clear, sunny days. It's perfect for imitating a small spot slipping through the seaweed.
    I also like it at the start of the season when "blue" fish such as sprats are not present in the area.
  • The white color, one of my favorites for fishing in very dark weather or at night, but also in dirty water.
    I find it surprisingly interesting to try a poker hand. When nothing works among all the other colors. I've been known to unblock complicated situations with this color.

For what purpose?

This new size will delight shore anglers who want to fish in shallow water.
The 8-gram head combined with a 10.5 cm body will make a nice bite in little water where there was a hole in the range.

Le coloris Wagasaki, l'un des plus efficaces surtout en début de saison.
The Wagasaki color, one of the most effective, especially at the start of the season.

At the start of the season, when prey is small and sprats are absent, predators are on the lookout for smelts. This size and the colors available are a perfect match for these little fish.
