Pautzke Fire Minnows

Pautzke Fire Minnows is a soft-plastic minnow imitation designed to reproduce the slender baitfish profile that crappie, trout, bass, walleye, and other predators feed on. Its compact body works well on light jig heads and finesse rigs where a small forage presentation is needed.

Key Features

• Baitfish-shaped soft plastic
• Finesse profile for pressured or cold-water fish
• Pairs naturally with small jig heads
• Useful for casting, vertical jigging, and suspended-fish presentations
• Color range supports clear, stained, and low-light conditions

Best Uses

Rig Fire Minnows on a light jig head for crappie and panfish, swim them for trout and bass, or fish them vertically around suspended fish. They are particularly useful when fish are feeding on small minnows and a compact profile produces more bites.
