About this product
A sinking minnow is more versatile than a floating one, because the depth is up to you. Cast it, count it down, and start winding – a two-second count keeps it near the surface, a ten-second count puts it down on the reef. One lure covers the whole band from 0.2 m to about 3 m.
At 110 mm and 36 g the NBL9448 is dense for its length, which is what gives it casting distance, particularly into the afternoon sea breeze. The body is ABS with 3D eyes and internal detailing, and it is fitted with VMC trebles – a named Japanese-French hook brand rather than an anonymous treble, which is unusual at this price.
Off Dar es Salaam it suits casting over reef, working a channel mouth on a moving tide, and fishing from the rocks at Msasani or Kigamboni. Kingfish, queenfish, barracuda, trevally and small tuna all take it. A variant, the 9448E, exists at the same 110 mm and 36 g.
