Bearking Kanata 160mm Rainbow Minnow Jerkbait
Bearking Kanata 160mm Rainbow Minnow Jerkbait
The Kanata is a 160mm, 30g minnow bait built for anglers who want a big-profile jerkbait that still moves with a natural, tight wobble. The rainbow back finish combines a chartreuse top, prism sides, and scattered color dots that flash as the bait turns, making it easy for bass to track in stained or open water. The diving lip pushes the bait down on the retrieve and gives it a darting, side-to-side kick on twitches.
This size and weight work well for largemouth and smallmouth keyed on bigger baitfish, especially shad, herring, or young trout. Fish it with a jerk-pause retrieve to trigger reaction strikes, or slow-roll it through open water and around points and drop-offs. The heavy-duty trebles and solid hardware hold up to repeated hooksets and fighting fish boatside.

How to fish it
- Cast past your target area and let the bait settle before starting the retrieve.
- Use a steady jerk-pause cadence to make the bait dart and flash on the pause.
- Slow the retrieve near cover or drop-offs to give bass more time to react and strike.
- Watch your line on the pause since most hits come as the bait is sitting still or falling.
Frequently asked
The 160mm size is built for larger largemouth and smallmouth targeting bigger forage like shad or trout, not for finesse fishing.
The mix of chartreuse, prism flash, and color dots works well in clear to lightly stained water where bass can key in on flash and detail.
A medium-heavy baitcasting rod with 12 to 17 pound fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader handles the weight and hookset well.
It performs well during spring and fall when bass are actively chasing larger baitfish in open water and near structure.
