Product description

This BEARKING minnow is a compact 35mm hard plastic bait built for finesse presentations. The short diving bill gives it a tight, fast wobble on the retrieve, mimicking small baitfish that bass key on in clear or pressured water. The slim profile and 3D eyes add a realistic look that gets a second glance from wary fish.

At 2.3g it is light enough to fish on spinning gear for finesse crankbait work around docks, laydowns, and rock. It runs shallow, making it a solid choice for skinny water largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially in spring and fall when fish are feeding on small forage near the bank.

How to fish it

Cast to visible cover like docks, laydowns, or rock and let the lure sit for a second before starting the retrieve.
Use a slow, steady retrieve on light spinning gear to keep the tight wobble consistent without over-powering it.
Pause briefly when the lure passes a piece of cover to trigger reaction strikes from bass holding tight.
Downsize your line to 4-8 lb fluorocarbon so the small bait can achieve its full diving action and natural movement.

Frequently asked

Is this lure floating or sinking?

It runs as a shallow diver on a steady retrieve. Pause behavior will depend on your line and gear setup, so test it boatside before fishing it blind.

What color should I pick for clear vs stained water?

Natural, translucent patterns work best in clear water, while darker high-contrast patterns like this black and orange show up better in stained or low-light conditions.

What line and rod pair well with this lure?

A light to medium spinning rod with 4-8 lb fluorocarbon or light braid to fluoro leader lets this small bait run true and cast accurately.

Will this work for smallmouth as well as largemouth?

Yes. Its small profile and tight wobble suit both species, and it is especially effective for smallmouth around rock and current seams.
