Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the jointed body of the Original Jointed Minnow create a unique swimming action?
The jointed body facilitates a pronounced ‘S-shaped' tail wagging action, which mirrors the swimming pattern of a distressed baitfish. This action, combined with the lure's capability to perform both slow and fast retrieves, makes it especially effective in provoking strikes.
2. What are the advantages of using balsa wood for the construction of the Original Jointed Minnow?
Balsa wood's intrinsic properties contribute significantly to the lure's performance by facilitating natural buoyancy and a realistic presentation. This results in a more convincing imitation of live prey, especially during moments of pause in the retrieve when the bait suspends or slowly rises.
3. How can I choose the right size and diving depth for my fishing needs?
The selection heavily depends on the environmental conditions and targeted fish species. You'll need to assess factors such as water clarity, depth, the presence of structure, and the typical prey size in the specific fishing area to make an appropriate choice for the Jointed Minnow size and diving depth.
4. Are the VMC treble hooks that come with the Original Jointed Minnow durable?
The VMC treble hooks are crafted to maintain their sharpness over time and resist bending or breaking under the pressure of catching large fish. These hooks are considered industry-leading components and add significant value to the overall utility of the lure.
