A Devon Minnow is very similar to a plug...looks alot like a Rapala.

I know they were very popular in Britian at the turn of the century for Atlantic Salmon.

Haig-Brown brought them over from Britian and hooked his first ever steelhead on one...triva question: What stream did Roderick Haig-Brown hook his first ever steelhead in (using a Devon Minnow)??
