Boot-tail swimbaits have proven their worth as both jig trailers and as standalone lures on either a weighted hook or a jighead. However, not all soft swimbaits are created equally. SPRO's Pocket Tail Minnow leaves the competition in the dust with a list of features that'll turn the heads of inshore species like redfish, sook, trout and flounder.

The Pocket Tail Minnow is a 3.75-inch stick of dynamite, the perfect size for backwater fishing applications. Whether fish want a snack or a meal or to defend their territory, this lure appeals to all of their senses and antagonizes them in a manner that produces vicious strikes. At first glance, the Pocket Tail Minnow may look similar to other swimbaits in its class, but upon closer inspection - and indeed, when retrieved through the water - the differences are remarkably apparent. The hard-thumping tail contains a small pocket that provides a different sound profile than any other lure - so pressured fish will still be susceptible to this presentation. Meanwhile, the heavily ribbed body pushes a ton of water, so it calls a wide range of fish species from a distance, in clear water and dirty water alike.

SPRO's Pocket Tail Minnow gives anglers the edge they need when targeting many light-tackle saltwater species. Made from a highly resilient elastomer, the Dura-Tough material is infused with Amino Bite Scents. Amino Bite Scent creates a scent trail that fish key in on, and the custom amino acid blend triggers strikes by activating fishes' predatory instincts. Amino Bite Scent's unique formulation perfectly mimics the smell and taste of baitfish. The scent even helps fish locate the bait in heavy cover, where sight distance is limited.

Poured from a premium Japanese soft plastic recipe, the Pocket Tail Minnow is the perfect combination of durability, softness and action. The innovative, elastomer material is super strong, so the Pocket Tail Minnow lasts fish after fish. The tough construction of the bait stands up to even tough saltwater predators. The durable material floats, giving the bait the buoyancy it needs to add even more action to lures. The added floatation helps keep bait up in the water column, so anglers can stay in the strike zone longer.

The Pocket Tail Minnow is available in 16 proven colors, perfectly matched to different forage bases and water conditions, so you'll always have the right tool for the job.

SPRO Pocket Tail Minnow Features:

  • Size: 3.75" inches
  • Quantity: Five per pack
  • Cost: $6.99
