Nishine Lure Works Saugeen 40

Designed for bait finesse and ultralight spinning anglers, the Nishine Lure Works Saugeen 40 is an innovative new sinking micro minnow from the legendary lure designer, Hiroshi Nishine. Featuring an all new TAIL DRIVE SYSTEM, Saugeen 40 utilizes a firm tail section in combination with a belly mounted Nishine Original Blade to produce a strong rolling action when retrieved at a slow to moderate pace. This setting is ideal for slow moving water and lakes, giving the fish ample time to hone in on the lure and follow for a strike. With the belly blade removed, Saugeen 40 becomes a deadly weapon in the faster moving waterways of mountain streams and rivers. The firm tail section creates an intense kicking action that is best presented with a fast retrieve to entice violent reaction strikes.

Nishine Lure Works Saugeen 40 features a dense yet compact profile that provides excellent casting characteristics, making for the perfect presentation in tight conditions where pinpoint lure placement is vital. With its fast sink rate of 1.6ft per second, Saugeen 40 cuts through currents and quickly gets down into the deeper pools where fish love to hide. Initially designed for mountain stream fishing, after vigorous testing Saugeen 40 has proven to be highly adaptable with bass, trout, panfish, and even light game saltwater species falling prey to its lifelike movements. Equipped with a premium quality JDM size#12  Ichikawa light wire treble hook (size #6 recommended if switching to single hook) with incredible stickiness, and a size #00 Nishine Origina Snap for a more natural action and movement in the water.
