Brad’s Super Bait Skinny Mini - Salmon Trolling Lure

About this product

When salmon and steelhead shy away from larger presentations, Brad’s Super Bait Skinny Mini delivers a smaller profile with the same big-water results. This compact, scent-dispersing lure pairs with trolling rigs and features an innovative snap-shut belly cavity that securely holds bait while releasing an irresistible scent trail. The interchangeable belly system allows anglers to customize color combos for changing water conditions, making it one of the most versatile salmon fishing lures.

Built with the same high-action rolling movement as the original Brad’s Super Bait, the Skinny Mini can be rigged like a cut plug or traditional trolling setup. It comes in 11 factory colors, and the mix-and-match belly system provides a wide range of color combinations to fine-tune your presentation. Whether targeting chinook, coho, or steelhead, this lure’s tight wobble, flash, and scent dispersion make it an essential addition to your trolling spread.

Questions and answers

What is Brad's Super Bait Skinny Mini best for?

The Skinny Mini is a slim-profile version of Brad's Super Bait built for salmon and steelhead, and it doubles as a deadly kokanee plug. Its hollow bait cavity holds scent, turning the lure into a scent dispenser that draws strikes on the troll. Sold as a 2-pack.

How do you rig and fish the Skinny Mini?

Pack the bait cavity with scent like tuna in oil, then run it behind a flasher on the troll. Our guides fish the Skinny Mini behind 8-inch flashers, letting the scent trail draw fish in. Use a fluorocarbon leader for a clean, low-visibility connection.

What scent should I put in the Skinny Mini?

Fill the cavity with oily scent. Tuna in oil is a proven guide favorite, and gel scents add UV attraction. Try Austin Moser's Salmon Slayer UV Gel for salmon and steelhead, or Big Nate's Chrome Killer Scent, packing the cavity fresh each outing.

What do I run with the Skinny Mini?

Run it behind a flasher for flash and vibration, and load the cavity with scent. Add Fluorocarbon Maruto Sickle Double Hook Leaders for a strong, low-visibility rig straight out of the pack. This flasher, scent, and leader combination is a proven salmon and steelhead setup.

What colors does the Skinny Mini come in?

The Skinny Mini comes in 11 colors including Rotten Banana, Mango Habanero, Electric Sombrero, Jim Dandy, and Black Jack. Bright, high-contrast patterns pull salmon and steelhead in stained water and low light. Each order is a 2-pack, so you can rig two colors at once.
