Duo - Tide Minnow Lance 120S
Specifications
About this lure
The Tide Minnow Lance 120S is a 120mm, 17.5g sinking minnow built for distance casting and versatile presentations. With its tungsten weight system, it cuts through headwinds with ease, offering reliable stability and smooth flight every cast.
Running in the 0.3–1m range, it produces a natural wobble-and-roll swimming action that mimics small baitfish, while responding instantly to rod twitches with a sharp, darting flash. This makes it equally effective fished with a steady retrieve, jerks, or stop-and-go pauses.
In New Zealand conditions, the 120S excels when predators are feeding on small to mid-sized bait. It’s a proven lure for kahawai busting up bait schools, trevally in current lines, snapper over shallow reefs, and kingfish chasing anchovies or pilchards close to shore.

How to fish the Duo - Tide Minnow Lance 120S
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Tide Minnow Lance 120S to feeding fish in shallow water (0.3-1m) and work it with a steady, medium-paced retrieve to trigger its natural wobble-and-roll action.
The 17.5g weight delivers excellent casting distance and wind penetration, making it ideal for covering ground quickly. For more aggressive response, use sharp rod twitches to produce darting flashes, or employ a stop-and-go retrieve with pauses to mimic wounded baitfish.
This sinking minnow suits kahawai busting bait schools, trevally holding in current lines, snapper over shallow reefs, and kingfish feeding on small baitfish near the shore.
Match your retrieve intensity to feeding activity: steady and rhythmic when fish are cruising, jerky and erratic when they're actively hunting.
