🎣 Choosing Your Weight
5.5g — Shallow & calm water
Best for shallow flats, light current, and when you want a slower, more subtle presentation.
7.5g — All-rounder
The best choice when you're unsure. Great for moderate depth and current.
10g — Deep & fast water
Best when fishing deeper water or in strong current, helping the jig reach the desired depth and stay down.
🎨 Choosing Your Colour
Ghost Minnow — White / Silver
Best in clear water and bright conditions, especially when fish are feeding on small baitfish.
Shimmer Minnow — Pink / Blue / White
A versatile option for clear water, cloudy conditions, and active fish. The flash and contrasting colours make it easy to notice.
Red Tide — Red / White
A strong choice for low light, deeper water, and dawn/dusk, where a high-contrast profile can stand out.
Mint Minnow — Green / White
Ideal around structure, weeds, and areas with greenish or slightly stained water.
