Abu Garcia Toby 18g 9cm 1–3m Black Back Minnow

Abu Garcia Toby 18g — Proven performance for fresh and saltwater predators

The Abu Garcia Toby 18g in Black Back Minnow is a versatile spoon lure that has been catching fish worldwide since 1956. This 9cm spoon is equally effective in both freshwater and saltwater, making it an essential addition to any predator angler's tackle box.

Enticing action that triggers strikes

The Toby's signature wobbling action has remained unchanged for nearly 70 years because it simply works. The 18g weight casts effortlessly and allows you to cover a running depth of 1–3m, where perch, pike, trout, and sea trout actively hunt. The Black Back Minnow pattern imitates baitfish with dark backs and light flanks—a proven colour scheme in both clear and stained water.

Versatile and reliable in any conditions

Whether you're targeting freshwater pike and perch or casting for sea trout in coastal waters, the Toby delivers consistent results. The single treble hook (size #1) ensures solid hook-ups, and the lead-free construction meets modern environmental standards without compromising on casting distance or swimming performance.
