HMG Lures Classic Assasin are floating minnow lures designed for targeting predatory fish in rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Their slim, slightly arched and laterally flattened bodies feature a distinctive V-shaped profile that closely resembles small baitfish. The natural silhouette and lively swimming action make them a versatile choice for a variety of spinning techniques.
Classic Assasin lures produce a fast, tight tail action combined with pronounced side flashing and occasional irregular darts. These movements imitate small fish attempting to escape or struggling in the current. The lures can be worked with a steady retrieve or animated with short rod-tip twitches to create a more erratic presentation.
HMG Lures Classic Assasin are particularly well suited to targeting trout, sea trout and zander in flowing water. They can also be used for perch and pike fishing in lakes and reservoirs. Their floating design allows the lure to rise towards the surface during pauses, adding another element to the retrieve and helping anglers vary their presentation around underwater structures.
The Classic Assasin 8 cm (3.15 in) weighs 8.5 g and reaches diving depths of up to 2 m. Its streamlined profile and distinctive swimming action make it suitable for exploring river channels and deeper areas of stillwater. The lures are handcrafted and hand-painted, and fitted with sharp, durable Mustad TR78-BN treble hooks.
