MirrOlure CS23MR High Pitch Rattle Dine Lure
The MirrOlure CS23MR High Pitch Rattle Dine Lure puts a fresh twist on the popular MirrOdine design. Featuring a redesigned baitfish profile, a high-pitched internal rattle, and a slightly faster sink rate than the original 17MR MirrOdine, this hard bait is designed to attract predatory inshore fish.
Whether you're targeting speckled trout and red drum in the Pamlico Sound, casting around grass flats, or working coastal creeks and channels, the High Pitch Dine gives anglers another way to imitate vulnerable baitfish and trigger reaction strikes.
Best Ways to Fish the MirrOlure High Pitch Dine
- Fishing locations: Inshore waters, grass flats, tidal creeks, channels, and soundside fishing areas.
- Target species: Speckled trout, red drum, and other predatory inshore fish.
- Fishing techniques: Twitch-and-pause retrieves, short rod-tip jerks, and controlled retrieves that imitate injured baitfish.
- Fishing conditions: Useful when anglers want additional sound attraction or a lure that sinks slightly faster than the original MirrOdine 17MR.
Why Anglers Choose the High Pitch Dine
The CS23MR builds on the familiar MirrOdine concept while introducing a distinctive high-pitched rattle and updated body design. The added sound can help attract attention, while its slightly faster sinking action offers another option for presenting a baitfish imitation below the surface.
- High-pitched rattle: Produces a distinctive sound intended to attract predatory fish.
- Updated MirrOdine body: A refreshed profile based on the established MirrOdine family.
- Slightly faster sinking action: Sinks somewhat quicker than the original 17MR.
- Versatile inshore presentation: Designed for a variety of inshore fishing applications.
- Multiple color patterns: Gives anglers choices for matching local baitfish and changing water conditions.
What to Expect on the Water
Fish the High Pitch Dine with short twitches of the rod tip followed by pauses to imitate an injured or disoriented baitfish. Experiment with retrieve speed and pause length based on how aggressively fish are feeding.
Its slightly faster sinking behavior compared with the original 17MR makes it a useful alternative when you want your lure to settle a little deeper between twitches.
Local Fishing Insight from Frank & Fran's
On Hatteras Island, MirrOdine-style lures are a popular option for anglers targeting speckled trout and puppy drum in the Pamlico Sound. Work the lure near baitfish activity, grass edges, and other likely feeding areas.
When trout are feeding aggressively, try a more active twitch-and-pause retrieve. When the bite slows, experiment with longer pauses and a more deliberate presentation.
