Smith Panish 85F minnows are proven lures designed for anglers who need long, accurate casts and reliable performance. Thanks to the internal weight transfer system, they deliver excellent casting distance, allowing you to effectively cover open water and reach hard-to-access spots where predators are feeding.
The lure produces a natural swimming action that combines wide body movement with subtle flashing, closely imitating a fleeing baitfish. This makes it highly effective for targeting species such as pike, perch, zander and trout, even when fish are cautious.
Panish 85F performs exceptionally well with twitching techniques, reacting with an erratic, aggressive action that triggers predatory strikes. At the same time, it remains effective during steady retrieves, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of fishing conditions.
