DUO Tide Minnow Slim 175 SP

Is there any angler out there who has not used at some point in time, a DUO Tide-Minnow Slim 175? We are talking about the Japanese lure that redefined the standards of body size, ease of handling and has proven its potential with Seabass and Barracuda.

Large minnows tend to have many problematic qualities, such as being too heavy to cast, having too much air resistance while casting, being too heavy when retrieving, etc. DUO has worked on these problems, striving to create a lure that can be used against the wind, waves and currents, conditions that are typical while fishing for Sea bass.

Hence, the DUO Tide Minnow Slim 175 needs no introduction. The leading Japanese company is now introducing the all new, suspending version, the 175SP. This evil twin, will sit quietly in the water, until a jerk fires up its enticing moves and gets a bite. The Tide Minnow Slim 175SP version was conceptualized by the need to provoke the weary, predators’ feeding instincts, with a new retrieving action. Watch the videos and you will observe that when you stop the retrieval, the TMS 175SP will suspend, facing downwards, a mighty motion in shallow waters, that provokes Seabass and Barracudas.

With each twitch you will feel the balanced motion and the vibration of the 175SP. Then stop, then retrieve and stop again… and there you have it. The 175SP can be used in many waters but it is at its best suspended in the soothing salinity of the Mediterranean Sea for which it was primarily developed.

The moving weight consists of two tungsten spheres. A fixed weight resides in the belly. This weight combination creates a stable flight posture resulting in an outstanding casting distance.

The original 175SP gave anglers a much needed suspending model from the Tide Minnow range of lures. This led to the development of the 140SP. The strengths of the larger 175SP have been combined into a smaller package allowing anglers to target fish that they would not get with the larger model. The lure will sit quietly in the water until a jerk releases its enticing moves to get a quick bite! While the 140SP performs well in many water conditions, it has been developed for optimum performance in the high salinity of the Mediterranean area.
