How to suspend a lure?
RAPALA XR-8 Deep

Suspend minnow

When there weren't many rocks under the water, if not too shallow, a suspend minnow should be very effective against any estuary fishes.

●I saw that some beginners twitched a suspend minnow too much.

Especially a deep diver minnow, I sometimes had a very long pause after twitching.
Probably you would be surprised at my 10 seconds-pause.

In my case:

Lure: RAPALA XR-8 Deep diver

Action 1: Twitch, twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

Action 2: Twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

Action 3: Twitch, twitch, twitch and 3-10 seconds pause

●Choosing a proper fishing rod to match the lure is the most important factor.

As a result,
