MSK Craft Sinking Minnow

The MSK Craft Minnow is a true boutique Japanese lure—handcrafted in Nagano, Japan from premium balsa wood with an obsessive level of attention to detail.

Each lure is individually shaped, finished, and tuned by hand, making every piece slightly unique in appearance and character. The lightweight balsa construction gives the lure an incredibly natural, responsive action in the water, producing the kind of refined movement that high-end handmade Japanese lures are known for.

These are not mass-produced baits. MSK Craft minnows are highly sought after among ultralight anglers and collectors, often requiring anglers to join waiting lists for the opportunity to purchase them. Their reputation comes from a combination of exceptional craftsmanship, limited production, and true on-the-water performance.

Designed for anglers who appreciate finesse, precision, and artisan-level tackle, the MSK Craft Minnow excels in clear water, pressured fisheries, and technical ultralight applications where subtle action matters most.

Please note:
This lure does NOT include hooks, allowing anglers to customize the setup to their preferred hardware and presentation style.
