The Flat DD Squirrel 79 SP from Jackall is a suspending minnow designed to effectively prospect between two water layers and quickly reach deeper zones. Its flat profile and long bill generate powerful flashes and strong visual attraction. Easy to use on a straight retrieve or stop and go, it stands out as a versatile lure for triggering active or wary predators.
The Flat DD Squirrel 79 SP belongs to the longbill minnow category — hard swimbaits equipped with a long bill that allows them to quickly reach significant swimming depths. Originally developed for barramundi fishing in Australia, this model has quickly established itself as a reference for targeting powerful predators in both freshwater and saltwater.
Its design allows it to maintain a stable and precise trajectory in the water column, making it an excellent choice for prospecting areas where fish are holding slightly off the bottom.
The Flat DD Squirrel stands out with a more substantial body and flat sides that accentuate light reflections during the retrieve. These intense flashes perfectly imitate the visual signals of a struggling baitfish and trigger the aggression of predators.
Its distinctive shape also displaces a greater volume of water than a standard minnow, which increases its detection by fish even when the retrieve is slow.
The Flat DD Squirrel 79 SP is particularly easy to use. A straight retrieve already produces an attractive and stable swimming action. To maximize its effectiveness, simply alternate between retrieves and pauses using a stop and go technique.
During pauses, its suspending behavior keeps the lure in the strike zone, which often triggers bites from following or hesitant fish.
Versatile and effective, it allows you to target numerous predator species in different environments, whether lakes, rivers, or coastal areas.
