How to fish the Duo - Tide Minnow Lance 140S
Big Kev's Tips
How to work it
Cast the Tide Minnow Lance 140S uptide or across current and retrieve on a steady, medium pace to trigger its natural wobble-and-roll action.
The lure tracks cleanly in the 0.5-1m zone, making it ideal for working sandbanks, reef edges, and shallow current lines where baitfish congregate.
Its 25.5g tungsten weight system cuts through onshore wind and rough water, delivering reliable distance even in tough coastal conditions.
For aggressive takes, work the lure with sharp rod twitches and pauses-the Lance responds instantly to directional changes and will dart erratically on the drop. This sharp response mimics wounded baitfish and often triggers strikes from fish holding in wash and surge.
Fish it over kahawai, kingfish, and trevally feeding in surf zones and harbours, adjusting your retrieve speed to match the activity level of the school.
