The Illex Hagre Minnow 120 F is a floating lure designed for covering wide, shallow areas of water. Measuring 120 mm and weighing 24 g, it runs at depths of up to approximately 20 cm, allowing it to be worked just below the surface over weed beds, rocks and other shallow obstacles.
Its slim, aerodynamic body helps achieve long and accurate casts. This is particularly useful when fishing from beaches, breakwaters or rocky shores, where feeding fish may be holding well away from the angler. The lure remains stable during faster retrieves, as well as in stronger winds and noticeable current.
On a steady retrieve, the Hagre Minnow produces a pronounced side-to-side action combined with a natural rolling movement. Short, sharp twitches make it dart suddenly to either side, imitating an injured or escaping baitfish. It can be retrieved steadily, worked quickly to search large areas or animated with a series of twitches and brief pauses.
The model was developed primarily for shore fishing for sea bass. Its very shallow running depth, strong casting performance and stability at speed also make the Hagre Minnow 120 F well suited to targeting asp close to the surface on broad stretches of river.
