BEARKING 185mm Jointed Glide Bait Swimbait
BEARKING 185mm Jointed Glide Bait Swimbait
This 185mm jointed glide bait is built to imitate a wounded baitfish with a wide, rolling side-to-side glide that big bass find hard to ignore. The two-piece ABS body pairs with a soft paddle tail to add extra kick and vibration on the pause, giving the bait a lifelike swimming action even at slow retrieve speeds.
It is a strong choice for targeting big largemouth around open water, points, and flats where fish are keying on baitfish. Work it on a slow twitch-pause retrieve for suspended fish, or a steady wind for a subsurface wobble. The dual treble hook setup gives solid hookup odds on the follow-and-strike bites this style of lure is known for producing.

How to fish it
- Cast past visible baitfish schools or likely ambush points and let the bait settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a slow twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait glide and hang on each pause to trigger reaction strikes.
- Speed up to a steady retrieve near cover for a subsurface wobble that covers water quickly.
- Watch for follows and be ready to pause or twitch the bait when a bass shows behind it to trigger the strike.
