Slammer Lures: 5" Slammer Minnow

The Perfect Early Season Twitch Bait and Trolling Tool

The 5" Slammer Minnow (1-1/4 oz) is a legendary producer when a downsized, smaller lure presentation is the key to putting fish in the net. Perfectly weighted and balanced, this lure has earned a reputation as a solid fish producer throughout the entire season. Whether you are targeting aggressive spring Muskies or looking for a finesse presentation for finicky Pike, the 5" Slammer Minnow is an essential addition to your tackle box.

Versatility in Depth and Action

The 5" Slammer Minnow is designed to perform across a wide variety of fishing styles:

  • The "Twitching" Specialist: This lure is the ideal size for early-season twitching. Its erratic, side-to-side darting action mimics a wounded baitfish, making it irresistible to predators in shallow water.

  • Casting Performance: When cast, the Slammer Minnow runs consistently in the 2 to 3 foot range, allowing you to pick apart weed edges and shallow rock flats.

  • High-Speed Trolling: Don't let its size fool you—this lure is built for speed. It will track true while trolling at speeds up to 5 mph, reaching depths of 5 to 6 feet down to trigger reaction strikes from deeper fish.

Why the 5" Slammer Minnow Stands Out:

  • The Right Profile: When predators are matching the hatch with smaller forage, the 5-inch profile provides the perfect snack-sized target.

  • Durable Construction: Built to the high standards of Slammer Lures, featuring heavy-duty hardware that can handle the explosive power of big game fish.

  • Premium Finishes: Available in a full spectrum of 8 high-visibility painted colors and 6 light-reflecting Prism colors to suit any water clarity or lighting condition.

Pro Tactic: The Cold Water Twitch

During the early season when water temperatures are low, use the 5" Slammer Minnow with a "slow-twitch" retrieve. Give the lure a soft pull with your rod tip, then allow a long pause. Because of its 1-1/4 oz weight and specialized buoyancy, the lure will hover and slowly rise, giving sluggish predators plenty of time to commit.

Maximize your early-season success. Add the 5" Slammer Minnow to your arsenal and see why this versatile producer belongs in every boat.
