Mooch Minnow™ - Softbait Set to Dominate the Finesse Field! 
 
This New CrushCity shape has already been dominating professional tournaments for a while now. Responsible for over a half of a million dollars in tournament winnings, prior to its release to the public, this will be a must have shape to have in your boat.
 
dcfishing won both the BPT RedCrest on Lay Lake and regular season event on Toledo Bend with this new minnow imitator. Two very different fisheries, one with mostly spotted bass, the other with mostly largemouths, but the defining similarity was the appeal of this one lure – the Mooch Minnow.
 
The Mooch Minnow may appear at first glance like many other soft plastic minnow baits, but there are key differences, starting with the lure’s tab tail, which makes it substantially different, and in most cases better.
 
“You can’t reinvent the wheel, but you can do things a little bit different,” said fellow BPT Champion Jacob Wheeler. “Like actions, you can change the profiles a bit, you can do a lot of little things to separate yourself from other softbaits.”
 
In addition to its unique paddle tail design, another defining feature of the Mooch Minnow, is its use of TPE Material. Not only does it float, enhancing the action of presentation, but it’s ultra-durable. That meant that Connell could catch 20 bass on tournament day on a single softbait. That alone saved him valuable time, and saves other tournament anglers valuable cash. It’s scented, too, so fish grab it and won’t let go!
 
The Mooch Minnow’s 3-½ inch profile resembles the size of many common baitfish throughout bass fishing country, from threadfin shad to perch to ciscoes to smelt.
