Berkley flicker minnow...Flathead candy.
Posted: 07 Dec 2015, 13:42
Not to be confused with the Berkley flicker shad, the flicker minnow has a slightly narrower more streamlined profile. I first picked up a few of these basically as an order filler from Cabelas in the States. They have a strong action and the 7 cm model weighs 1/4 oz and dives to about 3.5 to 4.5 metres. They'll spin out if you retrieve or troll too fast but come into their own bouncing bottom where they slaughter flatties. Super sticky trebles which can be a pain to de-hook on an angry flathead.
I've been using these for a while but finally found an Aus seller on ebay so decided to post this review. Usually a dollar or 2 more exy than the flicker shad. Pictured with the Flicker Shad and Sebile koolie 76 mm for comparison. Minnow in purple.
