The Lane Minnow - The BEST Trout Fishing Lure ever ?? 

That’s brilliant you should definitely have a look for them, there’s not too many left in Ireland, some lads go absolutely bananas for them ☺️🎣

Legend 👌🎣 thanks bud for watching and commenting , I appreciate it 😁👌

No doubt they would work Derek 👌 they’re all basically the same style of lures, I’ve mainly been using small jerkbaits and wobblers this year, I’ve came away from the spinning style of trout lures ☺️

Heya buddy 😎 ah yes getting the trout in the predator battle is no easy task! Everyone struggles with this. I’ve fished lough Derg since I was 6 years old, so over 22 year’s experience with this water fishing it nearly 4-5 days a week, I know lots of ways to catch the trout here, but sometimes they don’t want to cooperate, even I struggle at times for a bite ESPECIALLY when you really need one. 😁👍 trout can drive men crazy but that’s what makes them fun!

Thank you and thanks for watching bud 👏🎣🔥

😂Rubbish! Look a good Devon in my shorts.

Thanks Justin I often fish alone, Sheelin boats are one of the safest lake boats in Ireland 👌

Sound out bud, keep up the good work yourself 😁💪🎣

The trout fishing is fairly average in comparison to Corrib and the other big lakes. The pike fishing is good tho. Can be good on days if you know where to look. Lovely lake tho I wouldn’t swap it for the world 👌🎣

Nice one Darren thanks for watching 💪

Sound Kieran, they are little weapons 🔥

@@senanstanleyfishing i was looking them up online..difficult to get the old ones but new version available. Trout are a noble fish.

They are called original bb swivels, unfortunately I don’t think they are made anymore by the original maker

@@senanstanleyfishing Thanks Senan.

Sometimes even faster than 4mph, trout are crazy fast 👌

Hi Wayne yes. I have done a video on Tasmanian devil lures

@@senanstanleyfishing no worries I’ll check it out tassie devils catch a lot of trout in Australia especially the famous pink one they have also released what they call live skin colours that look like the fishes prey probably catch more fishermen 😂😂😂

I’ve done very good with black and red tassies and also back and gold ☺️👌 I don’t think the colour matters too much, once the fish are feeding

Hi, I’ve had hundreds of pike on the 12lb trout leader, landed loads over 100cm, maybe one bite off this year due to a pike engulfing the lure but with the tiny hooks the pike will shake it within a day or two , if I’m using small rapalas that have a higher chance of pike I use a light 7kg wire trace that works fine, but when using lane minnows I always use the 12lb fleuro, they fish better the movement is less restricted. 🎣 if I’m going fishing for pike with my proper pike gear I always use 111lb fleurocarbon, but for the trout it’s always lighter stuff, no problems 👌

@@senanstanleyfishing good info, cheers

Thank you Romas 💪🎣

😂Look at this: ru-vid.comrRjygnN5Yzw?feature=share

Definitely the rapala xrap countdows in 7cm 👍

@@senanstanleyfishing and would you use a trace because of the pike

I use the 7kg wire trace with the rapalas , I also use 12lb fleurocarbon on other days that has landed huge pike. Up to yourself bud, the light wire trace from savage gear is the right job I only found that lately I think it’s 7kg and very fine with a small clip

@@senanstanleyfishing thanks pal I’ll head down to my local Tackel shop today 👍🏻👍🏻

Definitely small spoons work great in zigzag patterns and revs on the engine, the trout love them erratic movements, they smash it 👌

The fly fishing isn’t great to be honest. Average enough during May ✌️

😂Rubbish! Look a good Devon in my shorts.

The rivers I fish are too shallow for a heavy lure like the lane minnow, they would work if the river was deep enough no problem

Hi Raymond. The lane minnows I use are all the old style I inherited off my grandparents they don’t sell them anymore. Most tackle shops in IRELAND sell the new reproduction versions if you Google lane minnow. I use all sizes. The smaller the better generally.

No Devon minnows are different than these. Devon are heavier and have heavier metal, I don’t use them.

The Devons I used were all different weights and shapes. Some wood, some metal, some big fins, some small, some had two fins and some had four! Variants had elliptical bodies, some had torpedo/cylindrical bodies. Some were plastic and floated for use with bouncing Bettys, some had copper tubes in wood. I haven’t ever heard them called lane minnows before, so maybe its an Irish name? Interested to hear more comments on this.

They don’t sell the original lane minnows anymore frank, but some of the smaller tackle shops around Ireland will have the replicas in stock. They can be hard to find, they are very sought after

There’s a few tackle shops here in Ireland that sell them but apart from Google they can be very hard to find nowadays ☺️

😂Rubbish! Look a good Devon in my shorts.

Incorrect. This is an original lane minnow 15+ years old with a handmade trace inside, nothing close to a replica lure - they aren’t even in the same league .

@@senanstanleyfishing well buddy the link to fishing gear you have doesnt have lane minnows , must have been good enough to go extinct

Unfortunately their family business in limerick went out of business years ago, I’m pretty sure they sold the rights for “lane minnows” to the company who now sells them in the plastic fish-shaped boxes now, they are a bit heavier than the originals, but they work. Jc baits work also-they are a copy of the original lanes. I prefer the originals as they are lighter and spin faster , highter in the water where active trout like to hunt. I’ve had thousands of trout on all sorts of lanes over the years though. They all do a similar job. Nowadays I’ve moved onto small jerkbaits for my trout fishing, but those old traditional lures are always a favourite of mine.

You won’t get Pike with the lane minnows if you’re doing it right, need to be keeping the lures in the top 2ft of water and trolling 3-4mph, of course you will meet the odd pike, but no, mostly trout if done correctly. ☺️👍

@@senanstanleyfishing ok cool. Thanks for the reply. Are these lures very similar to the Devon minnow ya?

Similar but them Devon minnows are heavier as their whole body is metal, I’d choose a lane over a Devon all day

Not sure I understand you but thanks for your comment. ☺️👍
