Just wondering what everyone's favorite colours are in the bent minnow 76 for bream and perch? Is FleBay the best spot to purchase them?.....I have looked around a lot of shops and can't find them anywhere.
Cheers

I was wondering the same. From the photos on the forum The colour ghost minnow seemed common. I would also buy the Wakasagi.

I've heard good things about the pink head yellow body ( not sure on name ) second hand info but it looks the goods

Any of the wakasagi colours are a sure bet! I really wish that their cour range in the bent minnows was the sAme in the dunks and blitz

Thanks for all the info, I ended up going with pearl white, super wakasagi and ghost minnow.

Hopefully we will see the fruits of your investment in the September reports. Did you purchase from Fleabay?

Get the action right and they'll take any colour. Back when they first came out and were easy to come by myself and a few of my mates bought the whole range. All colours accounted for fish.

I must get me some of these

What sort of action should you expect from a bent minnow? I used one on the weekend and all it did was roll over itself. Must be doing something wrong.

Just fish a normal walk the dog action a bit faster than normal the lure will do the rest, OSP Bent minnows are made to have the most erratic action possible.

Slow, slow, slow, slow down
I gave them a good run last week over 3 days and found they had to be worked ultra soft using a slow long draw with the rod.
Too fast and they will banana and roll.
They accounted for about 8 bream, 10 flattys and some tailor.
