Fiiish Black Minnow PUG
The Black Minnow Pug is a variation of Fiiish's now-famous soft plastic lure, featuring a specific jig head called the "Pug." This version is designed to optimize bottom-contact fishing, imitating a forage fish feeding or "rooting" on the seabed.

Features of the Pug Jig Head
The main distinctive feature lies in the shape of the head, which has a flat face similar to that of a bulldog (hence the name "Pug").
Vertical Posture: Thanks to its curvature and flat profile, it allows the lure to position itself almost vertically ("standing") when it touches the bottom.
Water Displacement: During a linear retrieve, the flat head moves a greater amount of water compared to standard jig heads, increasing the vibrations perceived by predators.
Stability: The shape helps the lure quickly regain its vertical position after each drop, making it ideal for the "grattamento" (bottom scratching) technique.
