Rather than immediately floating back towards the surface or sinking away from the fish, the lure can remain at depth during the pause, creating an opportunity for following predators to strike when the lure suddenly stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.5m–3m Diving Depth    \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H2 Minnow 80SP is designed to reach approximately 2.5–3m, allowing anglers to effectively work deeper edges, drop-offs, rock walls, timber, pylons and other structure where predatory fish may be holding below the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTight and Fast Swimming Action  \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H2 Minnow 80SP produces a tight, fast swimming action designed to imitate a small baitfish and trigger predatory responses from Australian freshwater, estuary and inshore species.

It can also be trolled very effectively, making it a versatile option for covering water along river edges, drop-offs, timber lines and impoundment structure. The 2.5–3m diving depth and strong swimming action make it particularly effective for trolling for barramundi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThrough-Wire Harness   \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe H2 Minnow 80SP features a through-wire internal harness that provides a strong connection through the lure between the line attachment and hook points.

Pausing the lure allows its suspending action to keep it in the strike zone, while trolling is also a very effective technique, particularly for barramundi.
