The Dark Matter Feeder Minnow is the perfect 3/4 oz inshore topwater bait that is dominant when targeting striped bass, snook or other inshore species. It is constructed of hard plastic and features thru-wire construction so when you hook into something big it can handle the strain and keep going. They swim side to side in the water and look very much like a bait fish. They are outfitted with super sharp BKK single inline hooks that do much less damage to a fish than trebles and are easy to dehook. If you're looking to get your bait back in the water after a fish, these hooks re for you. Dark Matter Feeder Minnows have 3D eyes and great finishes. We're talking the core colors that are proven to catch fish after fish. If you are looking for a new inshore saltwater bait that is going to produce for you, try a Dark Matter Feeder Minnow. 

John Skinner fished a prototype of this bait all during the winter and caught really big snook on it, over and over again. It performed when other lures just weren't getting the job done. This is a great bait for striped bass, bluefish and other hungry saltwater fish. 

Dark Matter Feeder Minnows are available in 4 1/2”  and weigh 3/4 ozs. Choose from four great colors: Bone, Holo Gold/Black Back, Holo Silver/Ghost Back and mullet. Get one for yourself and for your fishing buddy!

ANGLERS ARE ASKING

The Dark Matter Feeder Minnow is a topwater lure designed to imitate small baitfish that predators are actively feeding on.

It’s built to match the size and movement of common forage, making it an excellent choice when fish are keyed in on smaller bait and ignoring larger presentations.

The Feeder Minnow can be fished with a steady retrieve, a twitch-and-pause retrieve, or a slow, subtle presentation depending on conditions.

A steady retrieve keeps it swimming naturally, while small twitches can create an erratic action that triggers strikes. Slowing it down is often key when fish are pressured or not aggressively feeding.

This lure is highly effective for redfish, striped bass, bluefish, weakfish, and other inshore predators that feed on small baitfish.

It’s especially productive when fish are being selective and focused on smaller forage.

A medium or medium-light inshore spinning rod in the 7' to 7'6" range is ideal for fishing the Feeder Minnow. Try the Dark Matter John Skinner Inshore Spinning Rod.

Pair it with a 2500–4000 size spinning reel and 10–20 lb braided line. A fluorocarbon leader helps maintain a natural presentation, especially in clear water.

This setup gives you the sensitivity to work the lure effectively and detect subtle bites.

If fish are aggressively feeding on the surface or you’re trying to cover a lot of water quickly, a topwater lure or faster-moving bait may be more effective.

The Feeder Minnow shines when a more natural, subsurface presentation is needed.
