Daiwa Baits & Lures FAQs

Product information

Which fishing applications are best for Daiwa lures?

Daiwa offers specialized solutions for nearly all fishing applications. Their metal jigs and Salt Pro Minnows are legendary for saltwater and heavy freshwater predators like Salmon and Muskie. Meanwhile, their Tournament series soft plastics and crankbaits are the go-to choice for technical Bass and Walleye fishing in Ontario’s river systems.

What is the difference between spoons and minnows?

Spoons are curved metal lures that create a flash and wobble, imitating a wounded baitfish; they are staples for trolling and vertical jigging in the Great Lakes. Minnows, like the Salt Pro series, are hard-bodied "stick baits" with a more realistic profile and erratic swimming action, ideal for precision casting and "twitching" near the surface or mid-water column.

Is Daiwa Baits & Lures good for beginners?

Yes. While they are designed for the "Performance-Core" angler, many Daiwa lures are remarkably "user-friendly." For example, the Tournament D'Fin soft plastics have a built-in action that works effectively even with a simple retrieve, making them an excellent starting point for those moving toward specialized techniques.
