Available in two sizes — 140mm\/50g and 180mm\/98g — in 11 colour variants. Runs at 7–9m depth across a trolling speed range of 3 to 12 knots with no adjustment required. Suited to offshore and inshore trolling for mackerel, tuna, marlin, wahoo and snapper from trailer boats and larger vessels. $29.95–$37.95.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTrolling Speed Range: 3–12 Knots\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Noeby Trolling Minnow is designed to run true across the full 3–12 knot speed range without hunting, spinning or losing depth stability. This is a wide and practically useful speed range:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3–4 knots\u003c\/strong\u003e — slow trolling; suited to sailing vessels, kayak trolling and slow boat drifts along reef edges and current lines; at this speed the minnow’s long narrow bib produces a tight, natural swimming action close to the speed of a live baitfish; effective for snapper and mackerel along shallow reef edges in 10–20m depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5–8 knots\u003c\/strong\u003e — standard trolling speed for most trailer boats; the minnow maintains stable depth and swimming action throughout; suited to wahoo, large mackerel and tuna on outrigger and flat line rigs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9–12 knots\u003c\/strong\u003e — high-speed trolling; the upper range covers high-speed wahoo trolling where slower lures spin and lose action; at 12 knots the minnow maintains its wide swimming action and depth stability without running to the surface or rolling; effective for wahoo, striped marlin and large yellowfin tuna where high-speed presentation triggers reaction strikes from fast, aggressive pelagics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNo-Tune, Runs True Out of the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany sinking minnows require towing speed adjustment or manual bib-bending to run straight before they can be used productively. The Noeby Trolling Minnow runs true immediately on first deployment without any tuning, speed adjustment or lure alignment. This is a practical advantage in offshore trolling where multiple lures are deployed and retrieved frequently — a lure that needs tuning takes time away from fishing and causes missed opportunities when fish are actively feeding. Deploy, set the spread, and fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eConnection Method — Use a Loop Knot, Snap or Wire\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Noeby Trolling Minnow is designed to be connected to the leader with a crimp, loop knot, snap swivel, cable or single-strand wire — \u003cstrong\u003enot a direct clinch or improved clinch knot.\u003c\/strong\u003e A direct knot tightened against the lure’s tow point restricts the lure’s lateral movement and reduces or eliminates the swimming action. A loop knot (such as a Lefty Kreh loop or Homer Rhode loop) or snap allows the lure to swing freely on the retrieve, producing the wide swimming action it was designed for. For toothy species (wahoo, mackerel), attach via a wire trace or crimped mono\/fluorocarbon loop to prevent bite-offs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLong Narrow Bib\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bib (diving lip) is long relative to the lure body and narrow in profile. The long narrow bib geometry produces two specific performance characteristics compared to a short wide bib:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGreater depth for equivalent speed\u003c\/strong\u003e — a longer bib creates more downward lift angle and pushes the lure deeper at the same trolling speed; the 7–9m depth range is achieved by the bib length working with the lure’s 50–98g weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed-stable swimming\u003c\/strong\u003e — the narrow bib profile creates less lateral drag variation across the speed range, allowing the lure to maintain a consistent swimming action from 3 knots through to 12 knots without the hunting or erratic rolling that a short wide bib produces at speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSize Selection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e140mm \/ 50g\u003c\/strong\u003e — lighter and more compact; suited to inshore and shallow offshore trolling for mackerel, school tuna, bonito and smaller pelagics in 20–50m depth; effective at the lower end of the trolling speed range (3–8 knots) from smaller trailer boats;
