Hard swimbait ILLEX Flat DD Squirrel 79 SP

Jackall Flat DD Squirrel 79 SP, a deep-diving minnow for effective prospecting

A longbill minnow capable of quickly reaching the right depth

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.

A flat profile generating powerful flashes

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.

Great effectiveness on straight retrieve and stop and go

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.
