Love these lures, but the ball bearings rust. I wish I knew how to prevent that. Good video.

[@CaptainVincentRusso]

Tip from the Tug Addict I reverse my front in-line hook, and it does not decrease my hook up ratio, but it does decrease the amount of grass on the lure.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@CatchMeInTheCreek]

My go to in cold weather here in North FL

[@813Tyler]

If you live near largo Florida they have there storage/headquarters there I was taken on a tour there and you can have a custom mirrodine made.

[@SK_727]

Clearwater!

[@johnc6228]

I just got a few different colors of these and can't wait to use them.

[@edbranch3239]

That was an awesome video, very informative!

[@raultabares9796]

Saltwater Videos always instructive..Thanks 🙏

[@ClintonDAshley]

Ever try the Rapala X-rap?

[@TCampbell1990]

Great search bait that catches reds and trout on the regular.

[@johncaraway9671]

Was. told to remove the front hook and replace the rear with a number 2 treble hook

[@mynamedoesntsayanything4318]

Excellent video thanks

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@duncansmith536]

I realize this is an old video but hope you still get the comments. My rattles in the Mirrodine seldom work more than one trip. Are they necessary? I don't seem to notice much if any difference in catch rate but I wonder why the company would use them if they are going to quit so soon.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for your question! Make sure to ask this over on the actual blog or in the Community where the coaches spend their time. The blog can be found here: bit.ly/3c5z5hS

[@coldsteel998]

My green/ white catches everything but the treble hooks have to be cut out of my net, can’t use one.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for watching!

[@maxcole3930]

Never seen someone swap out trebles with single hooks. Great action on bait. Need to check those out grab a few. Do the make silent version?

[@BeetleBuns]

it's a saltwater thing, single hooks are stronger, hold better, and aren't as dangerous to handle as a bunch of huge trebles flopping around in the mouth of a probably already toothy fish.

[@bigsleepy9889]

@@BeetleBuns can confirm, got hooked in the palm by a treble on a twitch bait. Fkin pain man, switched to singe hooks and never looked back

[@johnkarges8829]

I don’t think a silent one is manufactured as such, the R in MR17/27/37 stands for rattling, but the rattles are tiny plastic beads. So the rattle is faint. Also, those light plastic beads get stuck in corners and crevices inside the body cavity and the lures can “go silent”. I can sometimes shake or tap the back of the lure and free them up, but have some MR27 where the beads are stuck and can’t or won’t be dislodged, effectively rendering them silent. But I will still fish them as silent, since the twitch and wobble still sends out vibrations along with the flash of the twitch retrieve.

[@TacticalFishermen]

Could you use it at the beach or what lures would you use at the beach

[@Saltstrong]

Great question! Make sure to ask this over in the Community (www.saltstrong.com/) where the coaches spend their time.

[@nightrun17vr23]

Can these be used for bass ?

[@johnkarges8829]

@Greg Dalton, yes, I know folks who do

[@pcsunbum]

27MR weighs more and throws further and bigger bait is best.

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sizzyp3324]

I’ve caught my largest lady fish which had to be well over 24in on that same Mirrodine . I also caught my smallest snook on the chartreuse colored mirrodine . The snook almost fit in my hand lol .

[@KanersWorld]

Caught prob some 2 ft lady fish this weekend with them fantastic lures.

[@keithandrews4844]

The areas I trout fish in eastern NC, is mostly bridge fishing and using a mirrolure is pretty dang hard. When I do use em, it's usually the mr52s.

[@dirtyharry7616]

love the mini's black and gold is the trout slayer right now i recommend changeing out the treble's for the vmc inline's it's better for the fish and remember twitch twitch pause

[@Bullybredkennels2022]

Whats the difference between the suspending vs the sinking mirrodine if they both sink?

One of the best reviews I've seen since joining Salt Strong. Thanks for the info.

[@Saltstrong]

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@JAMESlock1911]

Great explanation of this lure. I love seeing the action of the lure in the pool so I get a better understanding of how to fish it. 🎣

[@Saltstrong]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@eugenegress5896]

I only have one of these lures. It is the mullet one shown in your video , same size. I have fished it, cast and retrieve, cast and Twitch. I have never caught anything on it, not even a small bass. They had these in Walmart in Florida, and the Mullet color was the best seller, only one left out of the other colors, so I bought it.

[@grahamupton8626]

Thanks for the video. I fish these baits often and they are winners but have given up on the 1/0 single replacement hooks because the front hook constantly fowls on the lure's head or the leader. Do you experience this issue? If so have you tried using a smaller size single on the front and what was the outcome? Curious if using a smaller front hook would cause the lure to sink tail first and adversely affect the action or hookups. Thoughts?

[@Saltstrong]

[@dixsonhuie9031]

Why do they call it a suspending twitchbait? It seems to be more of a sink action.

[@FishOnKayakAnglers]

I’ve caught quite a few nice sea trout on the 17 with spots on the side!

[@tfa8rva]

17MR and 18MR for deeper water.......don't see them going away anytime soon up here in Va!

[@sithefishingguy5890]

How much is the insider club a month

[@saxet9049]

Excellent video.

[@walteroquinn757]

When I was a young man my dad made lures from round cloth pens he would have a red head and a white body no plastic lures were around then no Fancy jig heads no weedless and caught lots of speckle trout to much fishing tackle know days

[@Saltstrong]

So cool! Thanks for sharing!

[@willmallory9085]

What do you spray your lures with?

[@Saltstrong]

You can spray them with Dr. Juice that can be found here: fishstrong.com/products/dr-juice-saltwater-slam-scents?_pos=1&_sid=02fc47b3d&_ss=r&variant=39318724247726

[@290shawty]

My hooks rusted out on these 17mr . What sz replacements do I need before I head to the tackle shop. I want to put the same exact size

[@Saltstrong]

Should be #4 Treble Hooks. But just take the old ones with you and the shop should be able to get you the right ones.

[@farmerjohn2262]

Mirrolure makes some of the toughest lures on the market. They'll survive the sharpest teeth and keep on catchin' fish! 👍

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the tip!

[@bloodOntheStep]

Last year around this time I was catching more flounder on soft dine xl than my friends standing right next to me using gulp and one of them was using tandem rigs

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for sharing!

[@williammiller735]

What treble hook size replacement is recommended.

[@Saltstrong]

Depends on the lure. We have some other videos at www.saltstrong.com/fishing-tips/....just go there and use the search

[@Willitdump]

You know, I’ve used these for years but they only work when sight fishing or if the bite is hot. Not a great search and find lure like a plug, spoon, or jig. My favorite are the full bright green ones, or the black and white one from the beginning. I’ve caught every type of fish on this lure

[@andreshiwa8821]

Greetings from Brazil! Thank you so much for the video with valuable information! Unfortunately is almost impossible to find this Mirrolure model in my country.

[@Saltstrong]

We are sorry to hear that, thanks for watching! We hope to add on international shipping in early 2023!

[@bigginsg8711]

Mirrolure is the largest of low quality lure makers

[@chrisnigul]

Hey, curious about alternatives. TIA!

[@BeetleBuns]

@@chrisnigul Yo-Zuri is one, they're expensive but worth it.

[@devildog1073]

Why do you call them low quality? I catch a lot of fish with mirror lures. I wouldn't call them "Low quality" Mirror Lures take a beating and last!
