About this piece
The Valleyhill Gotsuan Minnow 89F is a floating, fixed-rear-center-of-gravity minnow lure designed for shallow-water sea bass (seabass) fishing. Its shallow diving range of 0–40 cm targets surface layers in rivers, tidal flats, and harbor shallows. Despite its compact size, the lure offers versatile performance with a wobbling roll action when the rod is lowered and a slow-pitch retrieve that triggers aggressive strikes without hesitation.
