Bemidji, Minn. - The MACHO MINNOW® is the hottest new jigging spoon in the country for casting or vertical jigging below a boat or through an ice hole for all gamefish species! Like a tough and durable tool that never lets a carpenter down, the new bold, muscular and lethal heavy-metal MACHO MINNOW® from Northland Fishing Tackle® comes through in the clutch! Engineered from cut brass, the new minnow imitating spoon features a CutSlab™ beveled edge design that creates an erratic tumbling, darting action that imitates wounded prey to near perfection.  It flickers, flashes, flutters and never falls the same way twice. Aquatic predators like perch, crappie, walleye, bass, trout and pike wait in line to gobble up this exciting new minnow bait.

The MACHO MINNOW® is boldly crafted and sports a highly reflective "holographic" Baitfish-Image™ minnow body that erotically flutters to mimic a gamefish's most desired forage . . . a crippled minnow. A jointed metal KickerTail™ Fin also adorns the tail that flickers, flashes, clinks and clatters on the hook, providing sonic vibration to lure fish from a wide radius. This rock-solid spoon fishes heavy, and derives its naturally random crippled minnow action from its unique and innovative beveled shape. The highly sought after minnow-imitating spoon is lethal on perch, crappie, bass, walleye, trout, pike, redfish and all fish that eat!

"You can drop this spoon a hundred times and it will never fall the same way twice," says lure designer and Northland Fishing Tackle President John Peterson. "Thanks to its CutSlab™ design and unique sharp beveled edges, the tail-heavy shape gives it the ability to shoot out and away, just like an erratic wounded minnow. Its lifelike "holographic" Baitfish-Image™ profile and jointed metal KickerTail™ Fin also gives it that realistic flash and sonic vibration that provokes fish to want to crush it! Now that's what I call realism."

The MACHO MINNOW® is available in six heavy-metal weights, ranging from the light 1/12 oz. for crappie, perch and trout, to the heavy-weighted  3/4 oz. size for casting and vertical jigging deep water walleye, bass, lake trout, redfish and pike. It is also produced in ten highly reflective "holographic" and hi-visibility "glow-in-the-dark" attractor colors designed to match the hatch. Tie one on . . . and get ready to kick some tail and crush 'em!
