The Trix Minnows Elite represent the next evolution in soft bait design for trout and salmon. UV imaging technology printed directly onto the bait creates a photorealistic baitfish pattern that standard painted and molded baits simply cannot replicate. Each minnow’s body is imaged with the exact scale pattern, lateral line detail, and coloration of the forage fish rainbow trout and landlocked salmon are actively hunting, triggering the visual recognition response that drives the most aggressive strikes. Available in eight proven patterns including Blue Mullet, Red Shad, Clown Shad, Firetiger, and Jaws. Each engineered for specific light conditions and forage profiles across Western trout fisheries.

Overview

Soft plastics are changing the game in trout fishing, and the Trigger Minnow is at the forefront. Designed for versatility, these minnows move fluidly through the water, perfectly imitating natural prey. Their thin profile and soft texture make them irresistible to fish, while their high scent retention keeps bites coming.

✔ Versatile Rigging Options – Use with wiggle discs, jigs, or plain hooks.
✔ Deadly for Multiple Species – Proven to attract trout, kokanee, bass, and even saltwater species.
✔ Customizable Presentation – Use alone, tip onto other lures, or rig with a dodger for enhanced action.
