LARGE MINNOWS: Large minnows are under the spotight this month, and they might just be what you need to snare that big fish you're chasing

摘要

OVER THE past few months in Modern Fishing we have scrutinised the many popular models and uses of small minnows and medium sized minnows. We categorised the latter as lures from 5-10cm in length and a diving range of about 1.5-3m. With that in mind,we'll slip 'large minnows' into a slot from 10cm through to about 20cm. Anything above that would be a massive minnow, a category that we will look at in detail in a future issue. These 10-20cm 'large minnows' are a popular size lure for Aussie anglers.And while we stated in our previous articles on smaller minnows, "small lures are capable of catching large fish—and often do," the fact remains: larger lures are more responsible for the bulk of big fish caught each year all around the country, in fresh and saltwater.
