Description

The Flute 138F is a floating finesse minnow from ima's Flute series, measuring 138mm and weighing 15.5g. Its compact lip produces a subtle rolling action that keeps the lure running just under the surface (0–40cm) at any retrieve speed, while the slim, lightweight body still delivers exceptional casting distance.

Designed as a shallow-running seabass minnow for rivers, tidal flats and surf, the Flute 138F isn't fussy about baitfish profile, making it a versatile choice across a range of inshore seabass patterns.

Information

The swimming action

The Flute 138F is a floating finesse minnow with a compact lip that produces a subtle rolling action, holding just under the surface at 0 to 40cm regardless of retrieve speed.

When to throw it

A shallow-running seabass minnow for rivers, tidal flats and surf, its slim, lightweight body isn't fussy about baitfish profile, making it a versatile choice across a range of inshore patterns.

How to work it

Retrieve it at any speed from slow to fast and it will hold its shallow running depth, so vary the pace to suit the mood of the fish rather than to control depth.

The setup it likes

A 7.5 to 8.5 foot ML to M seabass spinning rod suits the Flute 138F's light 15.5g weight, matched with a 3000 size reel, 10 to 14lb braid and a 16 to 20lb fluorocarbon leader.
