Description

The Eagleplayer 40 Slim/GJ is a 40mm, 1.2g floating minnow from Daysprout, purpose-built for rainbow trout in area lake fishing. It ships with a Yarie ST-10 hook fitted as standard.

Like its 50mm sibling, the body is tuned for a diving-then-rising "guri-guri jerk" action: a controlled dive angle, straight-line tracking on the way down, and a defined rise speed and attitude on the way back up, aimed at triggering reaction bites once fish have gone quiet after stocking.

Information

The swimming action

A floating minnow tuned for a diving-then-rising "guri-guri jerk" action: a controlled dive angle, straight-line tracking on the way down, and a defined rise speed and attitude on the way back up. The action stays readable through the rod tip at typical area-pond retrieve speeds, which helps when picking a pace that keeps the lure hunting rather than tracking flat.

When to throw it

Purpose-built for rainbow trout in area lake fishing, aimed at triggering reaction bites once fish have gone quiet after stocking rather than fishing a steady swim. It fits comfortably into a rotation alongside other area-trout lures across a normal pond session, from the first cast after stocking through to fish that have settled and grown more selective.

How to work it

Jerk the rod tip to drive the dive, then pause and let the bait rise back up on its own — the rise phase is where the reaction bite typically comes. A Yarie ST-10 hook is fitted as standard. Match the retrieve to water clarity and light — slower and subtler in bright, clear conditions, a touch faster and more animated when the pond is coloured or overcast.

The setup it likes

Pair with a light area-trout rod around 5-6ft, a 1000-2000 reel, and 2-4lb fluorocarbon or nylon main line. Round drag settings off soft, since stocked trout are typically lightly hooked in the mouth and a hard drag setting risks pulling small hooks free during the fight.
