What is a dartminnow?
Dartminnows are atypical hard lures. They have no lip and are characterized by their fast, erratic swimming from left to right and up and down, reminiscent of a dart, hence the name "dart" and "minnow".
Like lipless, the line is attached to the back of the lure, behind the head. Unlike lipless, also called "vibrations" in English, dartminnows have a slender, tapering pisciform shape with a round cross-section. They are not high and flat like lipless minnows.
Dartminnows are realistically shaped like small fish.
For maximum swimming range, we recommend using a staple and not attaching the line directly to the lure to keep it in check.
The power of dartminnows
Dartminnows are not linear retrievers like the vast majority of swimming fish. They do not vibrate on retrieve. These lures are animated by short, sharp jerks, making the lure move like a dart, from left to right and from bottom to top, in all three dimensions.
It is this particular and atypical swimming action that makes this lure so strong. It has a great ability to trigger hits, where most lures fail to arouse the interest of trout, or where fish are content to follow without attacking.
It's a lure to own and test in a tank when nothing else works. You'll almost always get new bites.
In addition to rainbows, the area's king salmonids, dartminnows are particularly effective on brown trout, which may also be present.
In addition to these dart animations, dartminnows are also interesting in the area for slow bottom scraping. In fact, where soft lures are forbidden, they allow you to scrape and move close to the bottom like no other swimming fish.
Different rods
In the area, the use of dartminnows requires a rod that's fast and nervous enough on the tip to deliver the right strokes that make the lure swim with beautiful amplitudes.
A rod that's too parabolic and slow requires you to force the gesture, which is not optimal.
A full tip is ideal for maximum sensitivity and success at the touch, which often comes at the end of the animation. Often, 4 or 5 darts are printed, followed by a short pause of one or two seconds. The darts often provoke the trout's interest, and the pause offers the opportunity to attack, which is often when the majority of hits are made.
