Bama,
I like both the 'dine and the 'minnow...but the mirrodine is like fishing a suspended spoon and covers water quickly, my favorite of the two baits. Anytime you are tempted to throw a spoon tie on a mirrodine and hang on! Work the mirrodine vigorously with short rapid downward rod twitches with short pauses in between. It is a dynamite choice for all inshore species, especially reds and trout.
The mirrominnow requires a slower rod sweep with longer pauses (do not overwork this bait) it's a great choice when you know the fish are there, especially sight-fishing. It's less agressive and perfect for pressured or spooky game fish.
Good luck and give us a report soon on how the baits are working!
