About this piece
The Nishine Lure Works Saugeen 40 is a compact, 40mm sinking minnow designed to perfectly imitate small baitfish. Traditional front-lip designs struggle to bring such slim bodies to life, but the innovative Tail Drive System harnesses every advantage, creating an exceptionally natural swimming motion. Whether you're fishing mountain streams, lakes, or saltwater flats, this fry-sized hard bait draws strikes from fish fixated on micro prey.
