Specifications:

The legendary Daiwa TD Minnow 95SP Suspending Jerkbait is back — the exact same tournament-proven design that won countless bass tournaments when it was first introduced. The slim and compact profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature darting, side-to-side action on the jerk that has made it one of the most imitated jerkbaits in freshwater fishing. The internal weight transfer system shifts weight rearward on the cast for maximum distance, then repositions forward on the pause to achieve the critical suspending (SP) action that keeps the bait hanging motionless in the strike zone — the pause that triggers reaction strikes from bass and trout when nothing else will. 

Key Features

• Tournament-Proven Design — The original TD Minnow 95SP won countless bass tournaments when first introduced; this is the exact same design — not a reissue or update — with the same slim profile, same action, and same tournament-winning performance that made it a legend in freshwater jerkbait fishing.
• Suspending (SP) Action — Suspending designation means the bait achieves neutral buoyancy at depth and hangs motionless on the pause; the pause is the primary trigger for reaction strikes from bass and trout — a suspending jerkbait stays in the strike zone longer than a floating jerkbait, giving fish more time to commit.
• Internal Weight Transfer System — Internal weight shifts rearward during the cast for maximum casting distance; repositions forward on the pause to achieve neutral buoyancy and the suspending action; allows the TD Minnow to be cast significantly farther than fixed-weight jerkbaits of the same size.
• Slim & Compact Profile — Slim, elongated minnow profile delivers the TD Minnow’s signature tight, darting side-to-side action on the jerk; compact 3 3/4" body matches the profile of shad, smelt, and small baitfish that bass and trout key on in clear water conditions.
• 3 3/4" / 1/4 oz — Versatile size for bass and trout across a range of water depths and conditions; 1/4 oz weight provides the casting distance needed for covering water on large lakes and reservoirs.

Specs

• Length: 3 3/4" (95mm)
• Weight: 1/4 oz
• Action: Suspending (SP)
• Type: Jerkbait / Hard Bait
• Colors: Ghost Pink, Ayu, Bone, Wakasagi, Black Gold

Color Guide

• Ghost Pink — Translucent pink finish; effective in clear water and low-light conditions; pink tones trigger reaction strikes from bass keying on shad and small baitfish in clear water.
• Ayu — Natural ayu (sweetfish) imitation; realistic baitfish profile effective for bass and trout in clear water where natural color matching is critical; classic Japanese jerkbait colorway.
• Bone — High-contrast white/bone finish; effective attractor color in stained water and low-light conditions; bone tones provide visibility when natural colors lose effectiveness in off-color water.
• Wakasagi — Natural smelt/wakasagi imitation; realistic silver-blue baitfish profile for clear water bass and trout targeting smelt and small baitfish; classic Japanese tournament colorway.
• Black Gold — High-contrast black and gold finish; effective in stained water, overcast conditions, and low-light periods; black/gold combination provides maximum contrast and flash for triggering reaction strikes.

Best For

• Bass Fishing — Tournament-proven jerkbait for largemouth and smallmouth bass; suspending action and slim profile are most effective in clear to lightly stained water during cold water periods (fall, winter, early spring) when bass are lethargic and require a longer pause to trigger strikes.
• Trout — Slim minnow profile and natural colorways (Ayu, Wakasagi) match the smelt and small baitfish that trout key on in clear lakes and reservoirs; suspending action keeps the bait in the trout’s strike zone on the pause.
• Clear Water & Cold Water Conditions — Suspending jerkbaits are most effective in clear water where fish can track the bait and in cold water where a longer pause is needed to trigger strikes from lethargic fish; the TD Minnow’s slim profile and natural colorways are optimized for these conditions.
• Long-Distance Casting — Internal weight transfer system provides the casting distance needed for covering large flats, points, and open water on reservoirs and lakes where fish are spread out and covering water is critical.

The completely redesigned Daiwa Saltiga LD 2-Speed Lever Drag Conventional Reel delivers the smoothest, most powerful, and most dependable two-speed lever drag platform available for saltwater anglers targeting yellowtail, tuna, white seabass, and big game species from inshore to offshore and the canyons. The two-speed design gives anglers the ability to shift from high gear for fast line recovery to low gear for maximum cranking power when a large fish goes deep or surges toward structure — the critical advantage in the toughest fights. Built on a one-piece machined aluminum frame and side plate with 6CRBB corrosion-resistant bearings, ATD drag, and Digigear precision.

Key Features

• Two-Speed Gear System — High gear for fast line recovery and low gear for maximum cranking power; shift between gear ratios instantly during the fight to match the demands of the fish; critical advantage when large fish go deep or surge toward structure where maximum torque is needed to turn them.
• One-Piece Machined Aluminum Frame & Side Plate — Machined from a single piece of aluminum for precise alignment of bearings and gears; eliminates flex and binding under heavy drag loads; oversized, super-hard, polished and meshed stainless steel main and pinion gears drive the kicking gear with extra strength and nearly silent precision.
• 6CRBB Corrosion-Resistant Ball Bearings — Specially treated stainless steel bearings with a protective shield on the bearing race that seals out sand, fine grit, salt crystals, and other abrasives; lasts 12 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings in saltwater environments.
• ATD (Automatic Tournament Drag) — Improved drag grease with low viscosity at rest that becomes more viscous immediately after drag startup; reduces initial drag startup inertia for a smoother drag from the initial hookup; combined with structural ATD system changes for consistent drag pressure throughout the fight.
• Digigear — Digitally engineered gear design ensures a perfect mesh between ultra-tough alloy drive gears and marine bronze pinion gears; optimized for speed, power, durability, and smoothness across the full gear range.
• Large Spool Bearings — Oversized spool bearings reduce side load so anglers can concentrate on fighting fish rather than managing the reel; contributes to the smooth, powerful retrieve under maximum drag pressure.
• Saltiga Executive 5-Year Warranty & Free Clean/Service — Industry-leading 5-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects plus a free 5-year clean and service for the original owner; expedited return shipping (2nd Day Air or Priority Mail) included.
