Duo - Tide Minnow Lance 160S
Specifications
About this lure
The Tide Minnow Lance 160S is a 160mm, 28g sinking minnow designed to cover water with long casts and a stable, lifelike action. Its tungsten moving weight system gives it excellent aerodynamics, letting you punch into headwinds and still maintain control.
Swimming in the 0.5–1.5m range, it delivers a perfectly balanced wobble-and-roll action whether burned back fast or worked with a slower, more deliberate retrieve. The 160S excels when predators are chasing larger baitfish such as anchovies, saury, or pilchards.
In New Zealand, it’s highly effective on kingfish hunting bait schools, kahawai smashing surface bait, and trevally feeding in current lines. Its versatility makes it a go-to lure for both inshore and offshore casting.

How to fish the Duo - Tide Minnow Lance 160S
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Tide Minnow Lance 160S to bait schools and current lines where kingfish, kahawai, and trevally hunt.
Its 28g weight and tungsten moving system deliver long casts and excellent control, even into headwinds. Work it in the 0.5-1.5m zone with a steady, medium-paced retrieve to trigger the balanced wobble-and-roll action that mimics larger baitfish like anchovies, saury, and pilchards.
For aggressive takes, burn it back fast; for a more deliberate presentation, slow your retrieve and let the lure's natural action do the work.
The sinking design keeps it in the strike zone as it swims, making it ideal for both inshore and offshore casting when predators are actively feeding on bait schools.
