Expert Advice

The Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm is particularly useful when predators are feeding beyond the casting range of lighter hardbody lures. Its 42g weight makes it a practical choice for exposed Australian coastlines, especially when wind, surf and strong currents make casting distance and lure control important.

For kingfish: Cast around rocky headlands, current lines, washes and bait schools where kingfish are actively hunting. Use a firm, medium to fast retrieve to take advantage of the lure's stable swimming action. Its full wire-through construction is designed for demanding fishing applications, but your rod, line, leader and drag settings should also be matched to the size of fish and surrounding structure.

For tailor: Work the lure through surf gutters, along rocky washes and around baitfish schools. Start with a medium-speed retrieve and increase the pace when fish are aggressively chasing prey. Short changes in retrieve speed can help imitate a baitfish attempting to escape.

For Australian salmon: Cast towards breaking schools or areas where baitfish are being pushed towards the surface. A steady, reasonably fast retrieve is a good starting point. If fish are following without striking, experiment with brief pauses and changes in speed.

For bonito: Target headlands, current lines and deeper rocky edges where small pelagic predators are feeding. The So-Run Heavy Minnow's stable high-speed action makes it useful for retrieving quickly through areas where bonito are actively chasing baitfish.

Choosing the right rod: Pair the 42g lure with a spinning rod rated to cast its weight comfortably. A suitable land-based casting outfit provides the leverage needed for long casts, while a shorter boat rod may be more practical when fishing from a vessel. Always check the rod's recommended casting weight before use.

Line and leader selection: Braid is a practical choice for long-distance lure casting because it provides good sensitivity and direct lure control. Use an abrasion-resistant leader suited to the target species and fishing environment, particularly when fishing around rocks, reefs and other hard structure.

Retrieve technique: Begin with a steady retrieve and observe how the lure tracks through the water. Increase the speed when targeting actively feeding predators or introduce short pauses when fish are reluctant to commit. The lure is designed to maintain a tight swimming action at speed, so aggressive rod movements are not essential.

Saltwater maintenance: After fishing, gently rinse the lure with fresh water and allow it to dry before storage. Inspect the VMC treble hooks, split rings and lure attachment points regularly, especially after contact with rocks or fighting powerful fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fish can I catch with the Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm?

The Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm is well suited to targeting saltwater predators such as kingfish, tailor, Australian salmon and bonito. Its 110mm baitfish profile, 42g casting weight and stable swimming action make it particularly useful around beaches, rocky headlands, current lines and coastal waters where predators are chasing baitfish.

What is the difference between the Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 90mm and 110mm?

The main differences are length and weight. The 90mm model weighs 28g, while the larger 110mm model weighs 42g. The 90mm version offers a more compact baitfish presentation, while the 110mm model provides a larger profile and additional casting weight. Both feature heavy-duty full wire-through construction, premium VMC treble hooks and a tight swimming action designed for strong currents and faster retrieves.

Is the Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm suitable for land-based fishing?

Yes. The So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm is designed for long-distance casting and is particularly useful when fishing from beaches, rock platforms and headlands. Its 42g weight helps anglers reach distant feeding fish, while the stable swimming action allows it to be retrieved through moving water. Pair it with a rod rated for the lure's weight and always assess local conditions when fishing exposed coastal locations.

How should I retrieve the Williamson So-Run Heavy Minnow 110mm?

A medium to fast straight retrieve is an excellent starting point because the lure is designed to maintain a tight, stable swimming action at higher speeds. When targeting tailor, salmon or bonito, increase the retrieve speed to imitate a fleeing baitfish. Around rocky washes and current lines, maintain a controlled retrieve and vary your speed or introduce brief pauses to encourage following predators to strike.
