Bearking 128mm Slow-Sink Minnow Jerkbait
Bearking 128mm Slow-Sink Minnow Jerkbait
This Bearking minnow is a 128mm jerkbait built for anglers who want a versatile, slow-sinking profile that covers water from just under the surface down through the mid column. The slim baitfish shape and pearl finish give it a natural flash that draws strikes from bass keying in on shad or similar forage.
Fitted with three treble hooks, it holds up during hard hooksets and thrashing fights. Work it with a twitch-and-pause retrieve along drop-offs, points, and grass edges for largemouth and smallmouth, or slow it down over deeper structure when bass are holding tight to cover.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence to trigger the darting action and let it hang in the strike zone.
- Slow the retrieve and lengthen pauses in cold water or when bass are suspended and sluggish.
- Work it along points, grass edges, and drop-offs where baitfish schools stage.
Frequently asked
The 128mm length matches typical adult shad and baitfish, making it a solid choice for average to larger largemouth and smallmouth.
Lighter, pearl or natural shad patterns work well in clear water, while brighter or higher-contrast finishes show up better in stained or murky conditions.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or mono handles the twitch action and hookset well without overpowering the bait.
It performs well from spring through fall for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and its profile also draws strikes from pike where they share water.
