BEARKING 80mm Diving Minnow Hard Bait Lure for Bass
This 80mm diving minnow is built for anglers who want a reliable searchbait with a tight, natural wobble. The hard-bodied construction and diving lip push it down to a working depth of roughly 0.8 to 1.2 meters, making it a solid choice for working points, laydowns, and grassy flats where bass suspend just below the surface.
The slim minnow profile and realistic finish give it a lifelike swimming action on a steady retrieve, with enough flash and vibration to draw reaction strikes. Twin treble hooks stay ready for solid hookups when a largemouth or smallmouth commits. It works well as a searchbait for covering water early and late in the season, or as a follow-up bait after a topwater blowup.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.

- Slow down in cooler water and speed up slightly when bass are actively feeding in warmer conditions.
Frequently asked
The 80mm size works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, making it a versatile choice for most freshwater bass fishing.
Brighter, high-contrast patterns like chartreuse or firetiger tend to show up better in stained or murky water, while more natural patterns work well in clear conditions.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod paired with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament line gives good casting distance and allows the lure to run true.
It performs well during spring and fall when bass are actively feeding in the 0.8-1.2 meter depth range, and can also work in summer around deeper cover.
