Bearking 130SP Suspending Minnow Jerkbait, 13cm 25g
The Bearking 130SP is a slender suspending minnow built for anglers who need distance and control on the retrieve. A tungsten weight transfer system sends the bait sailing on the cast, then settles into a true neutral-buoyancy hover once it hits the strike zone. The tight wobble and subtle roll mimic a dying or disoriented baitfish, which is exactly what pressured bass key in on.
Running 4-7 feet deep, this jerkbait covers the mid-column water that largemouth and smallmouth patrol along points, ledges, and suspended over deeper structure. Twitch it down, pause, and let it hang. That suspended pause is where most strikes happen, especially in cooler water when bass are following more than chasing.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait settle for a second before starting your retrieve
- Work it with sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting it hang motionless during the pause
- Slow down in cold water; speed up the cadence slightly when bass are actively chasing
- Fish it along points, channel edges, and over submerged structure where bass suspend off bottom
Frequently asked
The 13cm/25g size is built for average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, working well as a search bait or a target bait around bigger fish structure.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and go with higher-contrast or brighter patterns when the water is stained or off-color.
A medium action spinning or casting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or 10-20 lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and castability without overpowering the bait.
It excels in cooler water, pre-spawn through fall, for both largemouth and smallmouth bass when a slow suspending presentation outproduces reaction baits.
