The Team Daiwa TD Minnow is one of the first premium jerkbaits
from Japan that gained attention in the United States, going back
to the late nineties. After all this time, it's still one of the
best.
Did you know? Legendary lure designer,
Seiji Kato, designed the TD Minnow jerkbait, the TD
Vibration lipless crankbait (possibly the best lipless ever made)
while working as a lure designer for the Daiwa Corporation.
Continuing his career at Lucky Craft, Kato helped the
then-fledgling Lucky Craft company get started in Japan. Kato
designed the Pointer and StaySee jerkbaits, the Moonsault
crankbait series, the LV lipless series. Another of Seiji's most
famous designs in Japan, the Bevy Shad, excels as both a jerkbait
and crankbait. When the Bevy Shad won the prestigious JBTA Bass
Classic (Japan's championship event), that win triggered the
start of hardbait popularity in Japan. Before that, soft baits
were the mainstay in Japan. Following his success at Lucky Craft,
Seiji Kato founded Jackall Bros where he still designs many of
the best bass lures that the world has ever known.
So the TD Minnow you see here was one of the original
forerunners to most other high-end jerkbaits on the market today.
It excels in every shallow-diving jerkbait situation. Where it
really found a stronghold in the USA and achieved almost
legendary status was in the clear smallmouth waters of the
northern US states where it was fished with relatively lighter
lines using finesse jerkbait tactics for spooky fish in clear
water.
Today, there are more great jerkbaits options now than ever,
but it's tough to say there's anything better than the TD Minnow.
Daiwa TD Minnow's Sliding-weight Long Cast System
automatically shifts the lure's balance point to the rear to cast
like a bullet. During retrieve, weight shifts forward for
an optimum swimming
