Deps Spiralminnow

The Deps Spiralminnow is a minnow-shaped prop bait for searching the surface and the water just below it. On a steady retrieve it rolls and flashes its sides while an off-center tail prop spins unevenly, throws spray, makes a metallic sound and leaves a strong, rippling wake, an easy-to-read baitfish look that draws feeding bites, not just reaction strikes. A slow retrieve gives a tight roll and a faster one a wider, wobbling roll. Sharp, short rips make it dive with a splash; a moving weight then shifts toward the tail with a rattle so it pops back to the surface, keeping it in the strike zone around weed pockets, stumps and posts.
