BEARKING 185mm Jointed Floating Swimbait for Bass
BEARKING 185mm Jointed Floating Swimbait for Bass
This 185mm jointed swimbait is built to imitate a fleeing baitfish or trout, with a multi-segment ABS body and soft tail section that pulses on every retrieve. The floating design lets it sit still on pause, then glide back to the surface with a subtle side-to-side roll that triggers reaction strikes from bass holding near cover or suspended over structure.
At 64g it casts well on medium-heavy gear and works equally well worked slow over grass flats or ripped through open water for aggressive largemouth and smallmouth. The jointed sections keep the profile lifelike at rest, making it a strong choice for clear water and pressured fish that key in on natural movement.

How to fish it
- Cast beyond the target area and let the bait settle before starting a slow, steady retrieve.
- Use a stop-and-go retrieve to let the floating body rise and pause, imitating an injured baitfish.
- Work it along weed edges, drop-offs, and points where bass ambush prey.
- Slow down in cold or clear water and speed up the retrieve to trigger reaction strikes in warmer conditions.
Frequently asked
At 185mm and 64g it is built for targeting larger largemouth and smallmouth bass, not finesse fishing for smaller fish.
Choose brighter, high-contrast patterns for stained water and more natural, translucent patterns for clear water where bass get a longer look at the bait.
A medium-heavy to heavy casting rod paired with 15-20lb fluorocarbon or braid handles the bait's weight and gives you enough backbone to work the joints properly.
It performs well during warmer months when bass are actively feeding on baitfish and trout near the surface or in the upper water column.
