Fiiish Black Minnow

Fiiish Black Minnow The Ultimate Soft Lure for Seabass & Saltwater Fishing

The Fiiish Black Minnow is one of the most famous and effective soft lures for seabass and saltwater fishing. Trusted by anglers all over Europe, this legendary Black Minnow seabass lure is known for its natural swimming action, soft flexible body and innovative weedless hook system. Whether you fish rocky coastlines, surf beaches, estuaries or harbours, the Fiiish Black Minnow consistently catches seabass when other lures don’t.

If you are looking for a soft lure that feels realistic, swims naturally and can be fished confidently around rough ground, the Black Minnow is a must-have in your saltwater tackle box.

Why the Fiiish Black Minnow Is So Effective for Seabass Fishing

Seabass are intelligent and cautious predators. They often prefer subtle, natural movement — and that is exactly what the Fiiish Black Minnow delivers. The soft body and paddle tail create a smooth, lifelike swimming action, even at very slow retrieve speeds. This realistic movement closely imitates sand eels, sprats and small baitfish that seabass feed on in saltwater.

Because the hook sits weedless inside the body, the Black Minnow can be fished tight to structure without constantly snagging — perfect for seabass hunting zones like rocks, kelp and harbour walls.

The Black Minnow System — Built for Saltwater Conditions

The Fiiish Black Minnow uses a clever modular system so you can perfectly match your lure to the conditions. The system includes:

soft lure bodies
interchangeable jig heads in multiple weights
ultra-sharp weedless Krog hooks

This allows you to adapt the Black Minnow to shallow surf, estuaries with current or deeper rocky marks — all while keeping the same natural presentation.

Light heads suit shallow water and slow retrieves, while heavier heads keep you in contact in strong tides or deeper saltwater.

Natural Swimming Action That Triggers Seabass

The paddle tail of the Black Minnow produces a subtle, natural vibration that seabass find irresistible. Even with a slow retrieve, the lure tracks straight and remains stable in swell, waves and tidal flow — which is essential when fishing coastal seabass.

That soft, realistic swimming action is one of the key reasons the Fiiish Black Minnow is considered one of the best Black Minnow seabass lures in Europe.

Perfect for Seabass and Other Saltwater Predators

The Fiiish Black Minnow performs brilliantly in:

surf beaches
rocky shorelines
estuaries and tidal channels
harbours and marinas
reef edges and gullies
kelp and rough ground

It is especially popular for European seabass, but also works well for pollack, cod, sea trout and many other saltwater predators.

Wherever seabass hunt, the Black Minnow can be fished confidently and effectively.

Weedless Saltwater Design — Fish Close to Structure

One of the biggest advantages of the Fiiish Black Minnow is its weedless hook design. The Krog hook sits hidden inside the soft body, while the jig head is mounted internally. This means you can:

fish close to rocks
work through kelp and weed
bounce along the seabed
fish harbour walls and piers

with far fewer snags than traditional jig heads.

And because seabass often feed close to structure, this makes a huge difference.

How to Fish the Fiiish Black Minnow for Seabass

The Black Minnow works with many seabass techniques, including:

slow rolling just above the bottom
steady retrieve in surf and white water
gentle lift-and-drop in tidal flow
fishing tight along rock edges
vertical presentation from boats and piers

Often the simplest method is best — a slow, smooth retrieve letting the tail do the work. Many seabass strikes happen as the Black Minnow drops or just as it starts moving again.
