About this piece
The Daiwa Silver Creek Minnow Dirt Custom 53S is a sinking minnow lure designed for trout fishing. Its sharp darting action triggers strikes from finicky trout by swaying left and right, turning followers into biters. The 53S is built for both stream drift fishing and open water, falling in a slightly horizontal posture to imitate a weak baitfish drifting in the current.
