Fiiish Fishing Lures

Guide3 min readUpdated 11 Sept 2026

Before buying Fiiish replacements, match the lure range, body size, jig head and hook. A Black Minnow combo and a spare-body packet are different purchases; parts from another range or size should not be assumed to fit.

Fiiish Black Minnow soft lures in several colours and sizes arranged on a Cornish rock mark

Fiiish lures pair a soft, realistic body with a weighted jig-head, giving a natural swimming action that bass and pollack find hard to resist.

Best for
Lure anglers targeting bass and pollack who want a proven, easy-to-use soft-lure system.
How it fishes
Lifelike and versatile: the Fiiish Black Minnow swims convincingly on a simple jig-head and suits a range of depths.
Tackle
Match the body size and jig-head weight to your rod and the depth you're fishing — lighter heads for shallow, calm water, heavier for tide and depth.
Safety
Keep a few sizes and weights so you can adapt to conditions, and check the hook point stays sharp after working rocky ground.

Stay safe

Keep a few sizes and weights so you can adapt to conditions, and check the hook point stays sharp after working rocky ground.

Before buying Fiiish replacements, match the lure range, body size, jig head and hook. A Black Minnow combo and a spare-body packet are different purchases; parts from another range or size should not be assumed to fit.

Start with the packet, not the colour

Read the range and size on the existing lure or packaging. Record the head type and weight as well as the hook reference. If any of these are unknown, send the details and a clear photograph through our contact page before ordering replacements. Colour alone cannot identify a compatible body or hook.

Combo or spare bodies?

A combo is sold as a particular combination of components; a body pack supplies replacement soft bodies. Read the exact product contents and selected option to see whether a head, hook or spare body is included. Do not infer the contents from every item shown in a photograph.

How the Black Minnow system fits together

Fiiish describes the Black Minnow as a matched head, body and KROG hook system. Follow the manufacturer’s assembly instructions for the exact version. Keep the hook point controlled and stop if parts do not seat correctly; cutting or forcing a mismatched component is not a compatibility fix.

Choose the head for the job

The manufacturer offers different head formats and weights. Check the complete assembled lure against the rod’s casting range, and select for the depth and presentation you can control. A heavier offshore head is not automatically better for shore fishing, and rough conditions are not a reason to fish an unsafe position.

When a body tears or the lure tracks poorly

Retrieve and inspect the lure on land. Check that the body is straight, the attachment is intact and the hook is correctly seated. Replace damaged parts with the matching reference. Do not assume that changing colour will solve a damaged or incorrectly assembled lure.

A short ordering checklist

Have the range, size, head format, weight and required part to hand. Compare those against the current product page, then check the quantity and selected option. The linked Black Minnow product is a specific model, not a recommendation that its weight suits every outfit.

Common questions

Do all Fiiish bodies fit all Fiiish heads?

No such compatibility should be assumed. Match the exact range, size, head and hook using the manufacturer’s instructions and product references.

Is a replacement body ready to fish?

A body alone needs compatible components. Check whether the selected product supplies the head and hook or only replacement bodies.
