i almost always pulse the retrieve on the sp every few seconds and particularly as i enter and exit what i know will be the strike zone. they're fairly dynamic plugs and particularly in current you will be shocked at how wide they will swim if you pulse them and give them time to go out to one side. then they'll dart back quickly to compensate. they will also dive on the pulse, or in some cases even rise depending on your rod angle and the amount of current and tension. my rule of thumb is that all sp minnows are sinking plugs. you will need to beef up the splits and the hooks and invariably you will go beyond the threshold of buoyancy and the plug will sink. "floating" sps become slow sinking, "sinking" become a slightly faster sinking, deeper diving plug. but make no mistake, these are surface plugs designed to get strikes from fish who are feeding in the top 3-4 feet of the water column and hiding beneath in the boulders. ideally you are working your plugs right over the top of structure and in current where the plug will start to do its dance and get off that steady centerline wobble. they are generally the first plug out of my bag at night. they absolutely crush.

Thabks for this, every video i have watched people throw it and rip it back fast as possible. Gonna go try this in a few.

Awesome bro nicely done beast let go

Thanks bro! I didn’t know is two types sp minnows,

[@derysalazar6437]

Nice

[@DiamondHead2010]

Thanks for showing I’ve been reeling way too fast

[@jameswilliamson7441]

Well also it could be the right speed depending on your gear ratio

I’m used to fishing fast lures for black bass (largemouth mostly)so I have to be mindful when switching lures and targeting different fish of how fast to reel.
Im new to fishing an sp minnow so I might been fishing it too fast. I use a theory with a gear ratio 5.7:1 with 38 inches per turn

[@ATREZ0123]

Bone on a dark night? 🤔 Do you usually use bone at night? Do you find the darker colors work at night better?

[@Angeltorres2nd]

Bro you make it look so easy lol 😂 wat you wutta dooooo!

[@stripedbassfishingwithcaptdom]

Haha. I was very excited to get this on video. It was a great night. Caught 6 total and had an additional 10-15 hits. It was insane

[@nickd4666]

It’s pretty easy to fish an sp minnow

[@Angeltorres2nd]

@@nickd4666 yea it is easy, but I wasn’t talking about the sp minnow instead about Capt Dom catching Big fish with ease

[@wish2fish37]

Why would they be on bottom at night?Water still to cold at that time for surface activity?

[@stripedbassfishingwithcaptdom]

I guess so. Or maybe air pressure had something to do with it.

[@tbfishing2404]

So you could fish striped bass at night ? Was the lure glow in the dark

[@Sir_Defyable]

I haven’t striper fished during the day in years. Big fish feed better at night, and no they don’t need a glowing lure to find it.

[@tbfishing2404]

@@Sir_Defyable wow thank you definitely gonna try at night

[@DragonBahmur]

thanks for the tips. i just got a mackerel sp minnow and looking to hook some hogs but i want to make sure im not wasting my time

[@CMatos-kg2tq]

What size and weight minnow are you using?

[@stripedbassfishingwithcaptdom]

The biggest one. 6 3/4, 1 7/8oz

[@BenDover23561]

Do you like the laser shiner color

[@stripedbassfishingwithcaptdom]

For bluefish it is okay. Not for bass

Good fishing up in the Raritan bay in the spring.

[@Mann272]

Just picked some up at dicks earlier today hoping to get some luck

[@speedy732]

How long of a flouro leader do you use?

[@stripedbassfishingwithcaptdom]

If I’m fishing from surf, 18inch to 24 inch. If I’m fishing from a jetty or boat, a little longer so I can grab swivel to help myself land the fish easier

[@nimgoat]

If you’re fishing at night turn off your light 🤗
