How to Fish With a MirrOdine Suspending Twitchbait

In the brief video I demonstrate an effective cadence to work the suspending MirrOdine twitch bait, This particular bait is deadly when targeting inshore species such as trout, redfish and snook. The slow sink rate along with the sharp darting action really entices the strike. I challenge you to give it a try and let us know how you do. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Finally a video actually explaining how to use this type of lure. Very nice

[@LivingTheBestDayOfMyLife]

Great audio, lighting, and well scripted. This is a cut above most fishing youtube channels.

[@Saltyscales]

Ian Singer I appreciate that bud, we try to make quality videos for you all.

[@rubencisneros90]

Thanks Capt. Taylor I appreciate you taking the time to explain this!

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome Ruben, glad I could help.

[@flatsfishing828]

Great video as usual! I love the MirrOdine twitch bait and fish it much like you, I'll smear a little Pro-Cure on the belly of the lure to make a scent trail, when they bite, they bite hard. I've caught several snook and redfish right across that canal back up in the mangroves with the MirrOdine and or a Rat-L-Trap over the years. What a great area.

[@daverobb9557]

I agree with the method, just like to add that the MirroDine is a GO TO for a lot of fishing scenarios in the Freshwater as well. Sometimes you'll need to mix the retrieve to get the feeding started. I use the Twitch (T), Pause (P) and Crack (C)...when I Crack it, it is a Twitch but with a longer stroke. When I'm searching and covering water I make a cast, let it land and allow the ripples go away or at least let them move away 10 feet or so before I start. For example: (1st cast)T, T, P - (2nd Cast)T, C, P - (3rd Cast)C, T, T, P, P - (4th Cast)T, T, P. When you find the pattern or tempo they like, you can really get on'em. The most subtle adjustments DO Matter. You ever been fishing near someone else that was tearing them up and you were just not getting them, even with same lure/bait? Retrieve is probably the difference.

[@carolinakayakadventures270]

Dave Robb great advice !!! I agree totally

[@nateburk8952]

Dave Robb...great comment and good advice

[@woalmann6288]

Excellent comment and info! I’ve caught suspended crappie on the skin series Shad patter mr-17 before when nothing else would work

[@manhahaangler1094]

Good technique... Thanks for sharing.

[@pinefloatoutdoors]

Great advise. Thanks. I don't fish inshore very much when I'm at the coast mainly because I don't know what I'm doing. I love to go offshore and bottom fish but your videos are helping to fuel my interest in the inshore bite. Thank you. Be safe out there⚓️

[@Saltyscales]

Great to hear, you definitely don't want to miss out on the awesome inshore fishing.

[@B1bobber]

Awsome underwater footage great tips and sweet intro keep it up man

Thanks Jake, the frog video we are working on should be great!

Glad we could be of help Nick, they are a very effective lure once you get the hang of how to use them.

Great info! Do you leave the treble hooks on the lure or swap them for inline single hooks? Thanks for sharing!

[@BLUECOP40]

another Great video.

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Tony!

[@connorkryszak7530]

Thats really impressive that you can see the lure in that water, and get such clear footage. Normally near mangroves it seems that the water is murky.

[@Saltyscales]

Hello bud, for the under water scenes we used a pool so you could see the action of the lure.

[@connorkryszak7530]

Haha i was joking but thx for the reply😂

[@Saltyscales]

I didn't want to say I was concerned for you. ;)

[@WEROSOLO]

Thx for helping me :)

[@Saltyscales]

You're welcome

[@capt.bobroemer7784]

I have a full arsenal of mirrodine and love them, one of the best go to baits out there. I use a little different technique though. You need to discover what cadence turns the fish on. I start with only one jerk, casting in an arch around me. Then I go to two. And so on. Most always the bait will get hammered on the pause and drift down cycle.

[@Saltyscales]

Yes sir, always switch up the cadence. This is just one that has never let me down.

[@usmc2307]

well definitely explains why this guy caught three 18+ inch trout, glad i picked one up. he was using this method but said he was going for a slow jerk.

[@Saltyscales]

Really depends on the water temps and time of year but yes they are deadly.

[@trincomaleeangler8445]

Please tell me how to work with water current. In tide and out tide. I'm working in rivermouth

[@jordans4574]

Just broke out the ole crusty mirrodine from my tackle bag and caught 5 snook in 20 minutes. Literally first cast. FISH ON🐟

[@Saltyscales]

Great lure, nice work!

[@frost8bite]

I am going to try this lure out for bass fishing

[@Saltyscales]

It will work.

[@jamesbarron1202]

Whats your favorite MirrOlure for Largemouth bass

[@draganmitikj9873]

Can you also do twitch twitch pose? What is the difference in between jerk and twitch? Thanks!

[@tylikbillups3966]

Nice video

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you!

[@joestoner6226]

Do you think this action works for shimano orca sinking pencil?

[@rubencisneros90]

Hey Capt. been 2months since you made this vid and it helped a great deal, my mirrordine is full of chew marks from Trout. But i have another question i use straight braid to lure, what difference would it make if i put a fluoro leader?

[@Saltyscales]

Hello Ruben, glad to hear techniques are working for you. I prefer a leader because it's abrasion resistant and helps with walking the lure. I would recommend split testing them to see how you like it.

[@codybuss6992]

nice vid keep up the good work

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you Cody!

[@codybuss6992]

do you have any favorite stained water lures (freshwater)

[@Saltyscales]

Absolutely, Junebug/watermelon senko, junebug flipping jig. I like a pumpkin seed spinner-bait also.

[@Scooby-ox4yo]

What kind of pole are you using

[@matthewdean1121]

what kind of rod is that your using?

[@realkillachris]

What about for Wade fishing?

[@b3_op103]

so im 18 and i fished alot when i was a kid my dad used to take me when i was 3-4 and id pass out on the pier benches and theyd fish all night unfortunately im not as close to my dad anymore and live with my grandparents problem is my grandfather doesnt fish and ive never lost my passion for fishing. but the issue is its really hard to get into when you dont have anyone to teach you, ive got a nice rod and reel combo and i know what equipment is good and whats not but things like nots, and what lures to use with what setups can really be confusing and there isnt alot of videos explaining in detail the differences so i figured id post this and have the anglers of the internet help me out. So i have a st croix MHF 7'6 rod and im curious as to whether or not your able to use artificial bait like the mirrOdine on a setup as "heavy" as the one i have or if id need to get another lighter rod (which i plan on doing in the future anyway, im just young and pay for all my own equipment). i went for the heavier rod because i live in florida and wanted a rod that i can confidently fish in most saltwater scenarios whether im pier fishing or light tacle surf fishing or just river fishing with some friends. the issue is i recently grabbed some of these lures because we have snook all over and theyre fun to catch but im just wondering if my rod would be able to work the twitch bait being as big as it is. i guess i could always try it and if it works it works if not oh well, i havent fished since i got them i havent had a good day off in a minute, anyway any tips or info feel free to reply i could use it all lol.

[@jaelcalde417]

Can be used in saltwater?

[@G8t0rsrock]

Love the bait, but am having trouble with the front look grabbing my loop not. Using a mh fast action rod? What am I doing wrong?

[@Saltyscales]

Have you tried tying a tighter loop knot?

[@G8t0rsrock]

@@Saltyscales I haven't, will try that next time!

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

great video Joshua. are u and Texas Redfish Hunter brothers? lol jk. yall kind of look alike.

[@Saltyscales]

+Yodaddi Jim Hey bud, I checked out the channel. I don't see the resemblance lol but thanks for watching.

[@TheChico1332]

Weird, but I thought the exact same thing when I started watching the video.. lol lol..Not poking fun though.

[@KayakFrank]

Gotta try that lure on an incoming high tide for snook. Tight Lines>>>

[@Saltyscales]

+KAYAK FISHING OFFSHORE It's a good one for them. Thanks!

[@RadReelingFishing]

You mentioned a fast action rod. Does that mean a stiff rod?

[@Saltyscales]

A fast action rod will bend in only the top third or less of the blank, a medium or moderate action will bend in the top half or so and a slow action will bend starting in the lower third of the rod.

[@efremhernandez8480]

Great tip. question you have briad to a mono leader?

[@Saltyscales]

Hello Efrem, Yes, I tie braid to fluorocarbon leader using the FG knot.

[@efremhernandez8480]

if I have 20lb test braid is a 40pd leader to.heavy for lures?

[@Saltyscales]

Not at all, I typically use 20 to 40lb depending on the location and targeted species.

[@efremhernandez8480]

thanks for the tips. and today I caught a big bass on a doa in brackish water lol

[@BIGROB123]

Will the mirrodine Sink all the way to the bottom like a rattletrap and you decide what depth you want to fish it. cause i know there are some like the catch 2000 will only sink about 10 to 12 inches.

[@Saltyscales]

Hello Robert, the MirrOdine will sink to the bottom.

[@BIGROB123]

Ok cool. Now will all mirrodine do this or are there different models to choose from. Cause I've noticed that the one you're using is suspending.

[@Nick-vh4tj]

Do you use mono or floro leader with this lure? Thanks in advance

[@Saltyscales]

Flouro

[@Nick-vh4tj]

Joshua Taylor Oh alright cool, thanks again

[@justindixonmusic9695]

Any particular reason you reel during the jerk? I thought you would jerk/jerk/pause/reel repeat. Thanks!

[@Saltyscales]

Pause method works frequently, but sometimes, depending on the targeted species, they want a fast and erratic bait.

[@scoobysreellife4259]

You left out that for it to work right you need a little slack on the line when you pop it or it don't look right

[@nevenryan]

Nice thumbnail

[@Saltyscales]

Thanks Neven

[@rolandoreyes9093]

When is the best time to use a mirror lures

[@Saltyscales]

I throw mirrodines on the flats early am and evening but they are deadly during any active feed. Find some nice grass and potholes in 3 to 5 feet and fish on!

[@johnkarges8829]

Today, yesterday, and certainly tomorrow 😂

[@ZZMOKIN]

Call me stooopid but I just found out they make a 37-M MirrodineXXL. The redhead XL got a 15# then next cast a 16# peacock in Colombia in March then a 21# in Brazil in December until a big fish pulled the front hook hanger. Next month a few XXLs are going back to Colombia. I prefer the twitch, twitch, twitch, BAM.

[@johnkarges8829]

Wow

[@DanTheFireman]

@@johnkarges8829 I recently posted a short video on Colombia with pics of that 21 in Brazil on the Mirrodine XL (this old response was on my wife's acct) and another 21 last month in Colombia. So many different lures have hit the market but the old school Mirrodine still gets the job done as good as any. More recently it nabbed a mess of school dolphin here in South Florida.

[@johnkarges8829]

@@DanTheFireman cool, would love to throw them at peacocks. I have dedicated peacock boxes of baits from my Rio Negro experience

[@DanTheFireman]

@@johnkarges8829Awesome, a few Mirrodines would be worth the little space they take up. My Amazon bag keeps growing with each trip (just got back from #11). My two trips just prior to covid the chart 4 3/8" Crystal Minnow was the star but these last two not so much. Once again, the Mirrodine got its share when the topwaters weren't on but every afternoon at 4:00 began chopper time. I have gotten both bass and peas in the 3 pound range in my back yard while tuning props for trips, didn't expect that.

[@Bullybredkennels2022]

What is the difference between the suspending 1 vs the sinking 1 if they both sink ?

[@gd3design63]

Sink rates. Heavydines sink faster than regular mirrodines.

[@indybob770]

Why is the SUSPENDING lure sinking so fast?

[@ricklopez5932]

Should I use a loop knot for this lure?

[@Saltyscales]

Yes it's recommended but not required.

[@johnkarges8829]

I’ve recently heard a lot of discouragement from using a loop knot (or quick clip), to prevent fouling by the front hook, an issue I have because I twitch-twitch TOO vigorously and need to slow it down from the caffeinated retrieve I use. So, I’ve heard several say to use a hard knot, like an improved clinch. I will try it next time I’m wade-fishing.

[@ostergolfhouses929]

What are your favorite colors?

[@Saltyscales]

Oster Golf Houses Natural green back and nuclear chicken, bone white.

[@frost8bite]

Do you need any weights?

[@Saltyscales]

No weights needed.

[@Tal1k_215]

How do u now when u get a bite vs when u get snagged on something

[@Saltyscales]

Fish pull hard. 👍

[@johnkarges8829]

Often, speckled trout slam it, leaving no doubt, but you will sometimes just feel a tap, set the hook

[@richf4673]

You are retrieving against the current. Is that usual for you?

[@Saltyscales]

You can retrieve both ways but typically you want to throw it where it looks most natural.
