-
Tune Your Spread: Run the DTX Minnow 145 Shallow on the long corner or shotgun position when trolling at speed its Autotune™ System keeps it running straight even in rougher seas.

Mix Your Speeds: Start slow around 1.5–3 knots when searching for bites or targeting reef species, then push up to 8–10 knots to trigger strikes from faster pelagics like tuna, wahoo, or mackerel.

Leader Matters: For offshore predators, use a high-quality fluorocarbon or single-strand wire leader to handle sharp teeth while maintaining the lure’s natural action.
-
Color Counts: Carry a mix of natural baitfish tones for clear water and brighter, high-visibility patterns for low light or murky conditions.
-
Kayak Advantage: If trolling from a kayak, run the lure about 30–40m behind you at 2–3 knots for an ideal swimming action that won’t fatigue your paddle power.
