Highlights

Count it down

A sinking minnow lets you choose the depth before you start winding. One lure covers the surface, mid-water and the top of the reef.

110 mm, 36 g, sinking

Dense for its length, so it casts a long way into wind.

Works 0.2 to 3 m

Count it down and vary the retrieve to pick your depth within that band.

VMC trebles

A named hook brand rather than an anonymous treble (supplier figure).

3D eyes and inner laser finish

ABS body with high-simulation eyes and internal reflective detailing.

Product description

About this product

Sinking Minnow Fishing Lure – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.

Sinking minnows are the most versatile hard lure in a tackle box, because you decide the depth. Cast, count, then wind – a short count works the surface, a longer one puts the lure down on the reef. That one lure covers the band from 0.2 m to about 3 m, which is where most inshore predators feed.

At 110 mm and 36 g this is a dense lure for its size, which is what gives it real casting distance – useful in the afternoon sea breeze when a lighter lure simply will not go out. The body is ABS with 3D eyes and inner laser detailing, and it is fitted with VMC trebles.

Off Dar es Salaam it suits casting over reef, working a channel mouth on a moving tide, and fishing from the rocks. Kingfish, queenfish, barracuda, trevally and small tuna all take it.

One honest note. The code NBL9484 does not appear in any Noeby catalogue we can reach, and the figures supplied to us are identical to those Noeby publish for their NBL9448 – 110 mm, 36 g, sinking, 0.2 to 3 m. It is very likely the same lure under a different code. We have published the figures as supplied and flagged it rather than presenting a specification we cannot trace. Ask us before ordering.

Questions

Good to know

Is this the same lure as the NBL9448 you sell?

Possibly. The code NBL9484 does not appear in any Noeby catalogue we can reach, and every figure supplied to us matches their published NBL9448 - 110 mm, 36 g, sinking, 0.2 to 3 m. We would rather tell you that than sell you the same lure twice by accident. Ask us and we will put both in front of you.

How do I fish a sinking minnow?

Cast, then count before winding - roughly a second per foot of depth as a starting point. Short count for the surface, long count for the reef. Vary it until you find the fish.

What will take it around Dar es Salaam?

Kingfish, queenfish, barracuda, trevally and small tuna, cast over reef, into a channel mouth on a moving tide, or off the rocks at Msasani and Kigamboni.

Are VMC hooks good?

Yes - VMC is a long-established hook maker and a real step above unbranded trebles. Upgrading the split rings is still worth doing on a lure that may meet a big kingfish.

What knot should I use?

A loop knot, or a snap to the split ring, so the lure can swing freely. A tight knot snugged onto the tow eye kills the action.

Does colour matter?

Less than depth and retrieve speed. Natural silver and blue in clear water and bright sun; brighter or darker patterns in murky water and low light.

Should I upgrade the hooks and split rings?

On a lure that will meet a serious fish, yes - it is cheap insurance. Straightened hooks and opened split rings are the commonest way a good fish is lost. Ask us what size suits.

How do I look after it?

Rinse in fresh water after every trip and dry the lure, hooks especially, before it goes back in the box. Salt left on trebles rusts them within days here, and a blunt or rusty point does not set.
