Storm 360GT Searchbait Minnow
The Storm 360GT Searchbait Minnow is a jig-and-body combo designed to help you locate and catch inshore fish fast. The 1/4 oz jig head features a VMC Coastal Black 4/0 hook and 3D holographic eyes, paired with 4 replacement shad bodies per package. At 4 inches, it matches common baitfish profiles for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and snook.
- 1 jig head + 4 replacement shad bodies per pack
- VMC Coastal Black 4/0 needle point hook
- 3D holographic eyes add realism
- 4 inch overall length matches inshore bait profiles
- 1/4 oz weight for versatile casting and jigging
Find the Fish, Then Catch Them
The 360GT Searchbait Minnow is built for covering water. The 1/4 oz jig head casts far and sinks at a moderate rate, so you can work grass flats, oyster bars, dock pilings, and open shorelines without constantly changing lures. The shad body produces a slow rolling action with an exaggerated tail kick that triggers strikes from redfish, trout, and flounder.
The VMC Coastal Black hook is sharp enough to stick on a light bite and strong enough to handle a bull red. Four replacement bodies per pack means you keep fishing when the first one gets chewed up. Match your color to local baitfish and you have a search bait that doubles as your primary catcher.

VMC Coastal Black Hook
The 4/0 VMC Coastal Black hook features a needle-sharp point and corrosion-resistant finish. It penetrates on light hooksets and holds through hard runs. This hook is built specifically for saltwater inshore applications.
3D Holographic Eyes
The jig head features 3D holographic eyes that create a realistic baitfish profile. Predators key in on the eyes of prey fish, and these catch light at every angle to draw attention.
4 Replacement Bodies Included
Each pack includes one jig head and four soft plastic shad bodies. When a body gets torn up after a few fish, slide on a fresh one and keep casting. The slow-rolling body action with the exaggerated tail kick is what gets the bites.
How to Fish the Storm 360GT Searchbait Minnow
1. Cast toward structure - docks, oyster bars, grass edges, or drop-offs
2. Let the bait sink to the desired depth - count down for consistency
3. Retrieve with a steady slow roll for covering water
4. Add occasional twitches or pauses to trigger following fish
5. When you feel a thump, set the hook with a firm strip-set
6. Replace the body when it starts sliding down the hook shank

What fish can I catch with the 360GT Searchbait Minnow? +
Redfish, speckled trout, flounder, snook, and most inshore species hit this bait. It also works for nearshore species like bluefish and jacks. Our redfish guide covers techniques that pair well with this bait.
How many bodies come in a pack? +
Each pack includes 1 jig head and 4 shad bodies. The bodies are replaceable, so you keep the jig head and swap bodies as they wear out. Check out Storm Largo Shad bodies for additional replacement options.
What is the best retrieve for this bait? +
A steady slow roll works best for covering water. Add pauses and twitches when fish are following but not committing. The slow body roll and tail kick do most of the work. See our speckled trout guide for detailed retrieve tips.
What colors work best? +
Match local baitfish. Chartreuse Ice works in stained water, Hot Olive matches mullet patterns, and Smoke Ghost is good for clear water. Our saltwater lures guide covers color selection in detail.
How does this compare to the Storm WildEye Swim Shad? +
The 360GT is lighter (1/4 oz vs 7/8 oz) and comes with replacement bodies. The WildEye Swim Shad is heavier and bigger (5.7 inches) for targeting larger fish in deeper water.
Can I use this under a popping cork? +
Yes. The 1/4 oz weight works well suspended under a popping cork for trout and redfish. Pop the cork, then let the bait flutter on the pause. Read our popping cork guide for the full technique.
