DUO Tide Minnow Slim Flyer 140

DUO Tide Minnow Slim 140 Flyer

This model is optimized to maximize the casting distance.

Based on feedback from scores of anglers, we have fine-tuned this model for superb performance under very specific conditions. The excellent specific performance of the Tide-Minnow Advance Line comes at a slight cost to certain other performance characteristics.
The Flyer 140 is a sinking model created based on the Tide-Minnow Slim 140 with special attention paid to its casting capabilities. By adapting the action response from the sophisticated original model, we have created a top of the line lure. 
Not only does the overwhelming cast ability give the angler an advantage in strong winds and the ability to explore hard to reach areas, but it is also a great entry model for beginners who are learning to cast.

Modification 1: Moving weight

We have changed the moving weight from steel balls to higher density tungsten balls. By doing so, we have extended the casting distance compared to the original model, which already had a reputation for its great cast ability. Use a powerful rod and you will be able to experience a distinct difference.

Modification 2: The Lip

With the increase in weight, the lip was redesigned to prevent a substantial change in the action response.

Modification 3: Action

Compared to the original model, this lure features a stronger “wobble & roll” action. A wider lip catches the water more, making the heavier body swim sufficiently in heavy conditions.

Specifications:

Weighting:

The moving weight consists of large tungsten and steel spheres. A fixed weight resides in the stomach. This weight combination creates a stable flight posture resulting in an outstanding casting distance.

Three Piece Structure:

The lure is manufactured from three separate pieces which are bonded together. This enabled us to use a thinner lip, creating the lure’s special action, while also increasing the strength of the lip.

 Wider Lip

The wider lip specially designed for the Flyer is pictured on the right. A wider lip area is required to effectively move the heavier body of the lure.
