Northland Macho Minnow
« on: Dec 19, 2009, 07:26 AM »
Northland Macho Minnow may look like a highly detailed Acme Kastmaster or Luhr Jensen Castchamp, but the resemblence it has ends there.  Vertical jigging with the Macho Minnow is totally different with the kicker tail on this spoon.  It doesn't wobble side to side like a Kastmaster/Castchamp.  It's flutter on the fall isn't like either cut brass spoons.  It has a unique action of it's own.  When you jig it up, it swims like a fluke or a live leech.  That's a very different action, all due to the kicker tail.  When it free falls, it has an eradict flutter again due to the kicker tail.  If the kicker tail folds up on it, then it rocks like a pendulum down the water column.  If the kicker tails stays out, then it flutters.  If the kicker tails gets slightly angled, then the lure kind of spirals down the water coumn.

I've been using the Macho Minnow during slow time.  This lure seem to have some very responsive fish calling effect.  It might have to do with the kicker tail.  The noise from it is like a dinner bell ring to much like the effect of a rattle chamber.  Still haven't gotten any fish to really take the lure, only some light nibble on a minnow head.
