Smith Panish 120F-SW is a floating saltwater minnow developed from the proven Panish platform, designed to deliver stable and controlled action across a very wide range of retrieve speeds. Whether worked slowly or quickly, the lure maintains consistent performance, allowing anglers to adapt easily to changing fishing conditions.
On a steady retrieve, the lure produces a tight, high-pitch rolling action that remains stable even when the speed increases. This controlled behaviour ensures effective presentation without losing balance, making it suitable for covering water at different tempos.
When combined with rod action, the Panish 120F-SW reacts instantly with sharp lateral darting movements. Even subtle twitches can trigger an aggressive side-to-side response, imitating a fleeing baitfish and provoking predatory strikes.
The working depth of around 1 meter provides a versatile operating range, making the lure effective in various conditions. It performs well when targeting predators such as pike and zander, and can also be used in saltwater fishing situations.
