The Sakura Azu Minnow 75S is a compact and versatile swim fish, perfectly suited to both fine and heavy fishing, and conditions where the fish are more wary. This sinking minnow combines the aerodynamics of a metal jig with the swimming qualities of a traditional swim fish, delivering remarkable casting distances despite its small size.
Sinking, it has an ideal format that maintains excellent casting abilities while offering a more discreet silhouette, perfect for educated fish or small prey. It benefits from a reinforced ABS bib which allows it to swim up to 1.5 meters in linear recovery. Robust, its high resistance paint with realistic details stays in place after many catches.
The Azu Minnow 75S revolutionizes hard lure fishing in its category thanks to its exceptional density. Where classic 75mm minnows struggle to exceed 35-40 meters, this lure easily reaches 55 to 65 meters, allowing you to reach distant shoals and effectively prospect baines from the beach.
This remarkable projection capability opens up new tactical possibilities:
- Reach bait fish banks with a more realistic imitation
- Prospect current zones with a silhouette suitable for small prey
- Follow mobile hunts without scaring wary fish
- Cover vast expanses with a finesse lure
Despite its compact format, the Azu Minnow 75S develops an intense and stable vibratory swimming action that triggers the aggressiveness of predators in both sea and fresh water. Its robust ABS reinforced bib gives it excellent hold in currents and breakers, environments where other lures of this size lose their balance. This 75S format particularly excels when predators are selective about small prey (lancets, small sprats, fry). Its small size does not affect its ability to be retrieved slowly while maintaining an attractive swimming action - a formidable combination on difficult bass and tuna.
Continuous recovery at variable speed allows a vibrant and steady swimming action, ideal for quickly prospecting promising areas and triggering attacks on small fish hunts.
Jigging between two waters: The Azu Minnow 75S shows its versatility here. Retrieve with rod high, alternating hard pulls and controlled descent phases. This technique allows you to grid several layers of water on the same cast, effectively prospect the breaking and rock areas with refinement, locate predators' activity depth and provoke attacks on the descent. It excels in areas of foam and moderate current where its density and robust construction allow it to maintain a stable and attractive swimming action without excessive power.
At sea:
- Bass (wolf): from the shore or from a boat, particularly effective on educated fish or when spotting small prey
- Tuna: bonito, little tunny, frigate mackerel - perfect format for hunting small fish
- Liche amia: on fast hunts and around rocky structures
- Mackerel: fast action for active hunts
- Garfish: on the surface and sub-surface
In freshwater:
- Asp: ideal format for this predator often hunting small prey on large rivers
- Pike: excellent for finely stalking shallow areas
- Perch: The larger specimens are tempted by this format
In exotic:
- Peacock bass: versatile format for different sizes of fish
- Barracuda: effective on young individuals
