This bait is best fished and most effective when reeled with a slow to medium roll.  The ProMinnow will stay in a water column of about 3' to 8' of water.  Most pros think you need a minimun of 3' of visibility for them to work best.  This bait skips well  under hard to get to docks and with the weedless hook, its a great bait for heavy brush, over grass, over submerged timber and in those dark recesses.

One popular baiting system is the under spin, a lead head with a spinner.  With the slotted body of the ProMinnow, the bottom is open, initially for the weighted hook to slide up into the cavity, but it lends itself really effectivly for this spinner.  There is no ripping of the plastic like on the solid body baits.  The lead head simply slips up into the cavity with the exposed hook on top of the bait and the spinner or blade down below.  This is extremely effective in open water.
