Minnows & Crankbaits – Predator Fishing Lures in Ireland

Why Choose Minnows & Crankbaits

Minnows and crankbaits are among the most reliable lures for predator fishing. Designed to imitate small baitfish, they deliver lifelike movement that attracts trout, salmon, perch, pike, and bass. Whether you’re fishing rivers, lakes, or coastal waters in Ireland, these lures guarantee consistent results.

Types of Minnows & Crankbaits

• Floating Minnows – perfect for shallow waters and active predators.

• Deep-Diving Crankbaits – ideal when fish stay at greater depths.

• Suspending Models – maintain position in the water column to tempt cautious fish.

• Jointed & Swimbait Styles – create natural swimming action for maximum strikes.
