Pick the head
Details
The Off Shore head has a sharper profile than the Shore head, so it drops quickly and holds depth. Fiiish suggests it for a slow to medium sink and draw along the bottom, and calls it ideal for boat fishing. With the 12cm body fitted, the whole lure weighs about 35g, so it casts a long way from the shore too.
The Black Minnow 120 Blue has a dark blue back with blue glitter, silver and clear glitter sides and a white paddle tail, on a silver head with a blue-grey top. The pack is the English version, marked "OFFSHORE 25g" and "COMBO + BODY".
Like every Fiiish black minnow 120 combo, it uses the PH2S system, which joins the head, body and Krog Premium hook by VMC. The offset hook sits along the back, so the lure is weedless and you can bump it over rocks and weed on the bottom. Fiiish's rigging guide says to glue the head to the body and to strike hard when a fish takes.
Fish it on a sink and draw: let it hit the bottom, lift the rod to raise it, then let it fall again on a tight line. Many takes come on the drop. The Fiiish Black Minnow 25g head is the middle weight for the 120: heavier than the Shore and Search heads, lighter than the Deep and X Deep. When the first body is torn, fit the spare body from the box.

FAQs
One complete lure, rigged with the Off Shore 25g head, the Krog hook and a 12cm Blue body, plus one spare Blue body. The box is marked "COMBO + BODY", which is Fiiish's name for a full lure with a spare body.
Yes, it comes rigged and ready to clip on. For a firmer hold, Fiiish's rigging guide recommends a drop of glue between the head and the body, so the body stays in place after a few fish or a snag.
The Off Shore head, which weighs 25g. With the 12cm body on, the whole lure is about 35g. That total is what matters for your rod's casting weight, so check the rating before you cast it hard.
Fiiish designed the Off Shore head to sink fast and cut into deeper water, fished slowly along the bottom. It doesn't give a depth or tide figure. For stronger tide or more depth, the 37g Deep head is the next step up.
A dark blue back with blue glitter, silver and clear glitter sides, and a white paddle tail. The head is silver with a blue-grey top. It's a bright baitfish colour, and the pack is marked "COLOR BLUE".
Yes. The Black Minnow is a well-known bass lure, and UK shops report mackerel and other sea fish taking it too. The heavier Off Shore head helps you reach bass feeding close to the bottom.
It can be. At about 35g it casts a long way, so it works from rocks and piers with deeper water in front. Over shallow ground it sinks too fast and snags more, so the lighter Shore head is easier to fish there.
Yes. Spare 120 bodies, heads and Krog hooks are all sold separately by Fiiish, so you can keep the 25g Off Shore head and change the body when it tears. Soft Black Minnow lures wear with every fish, and one spare Blue body is in this box.
