About this piece
The Alexandra 43FS is a modern remake of the original 2004 sinking minnow, revived for today's mountain stream anglers. It excels at upstream presentations, combining a slow flutter-sinking action with a reinforced lip for crisp control. Its subtle entrance and rhythmic flapping trigger strikes from wary fish in clear, shallow water.
Key features
- Flutter sinking action creates a natural, erratic descent.
- Reinforced base lip ensures durability and instant response.
- Extremely slow sink rate perfect for skinny water and high pressure.
- Compact 43mm, 2.4g profile casts easily and lands softly.
- Designed for upstream manipulation with a tight, flashing wobble.
Best for
- Targeting trout and char in mountain streams and headwaters.
- Fishing shallow riffles, runs, and surface-feeding zones.
- Clear, low-flow conditions where stealth is critical.
- Upstream presentations with controlled downstream drifts.
