Bearking Kanata 160mm Redhead Minnow Jerkbait
Bearking Kanata 160mm Redhead Minnow Jerkbait
The Kanata is a 160mm, 30g minnow-style jerkbait built for bass anglers who want a long, castable profile with a lifelike swimming action. The slim body and weighted internals give it a tight wobble with a subtle side roll on the pause, mimicking a wounded baitfish drifting just below the surface. The redhead pattern creates a sharp color break that stays visible in stained water and under low light.
This lure shines on largemouth and smallmouth holding around points, grass edges, and open flats where fish are keying on baitfish. Work it with a twitch-pause retrieve to trigger reaction strikes from bass following bait schools or staging near deeper structure. It casts well on spinning or baitcasting gear and covers water fast when you need to locate active fish.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence to make the bait dart and roll like a fleeing baitfish.
- Vary the length of the pause, especially in cooler water, to trigger following bass into striking.
- Watch your line during the pause since most strikes come as the lure sits still or barely sinks.
Frequently asked
At 160mm it is built for keeper-size largemouth and smallmouth, and works well when bass are feeding on larger baitfish such as shad or shiners.
Yes. The red head and white body give a strong contrast that reads well in stained water, and it still shows a natural profile in clearer conditions, especially early or late in the day.
A medium-power spinning or baitcasting rod with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good castability and solid hooksets.
It performs well in spring and fall when bass are chasing baitfish in open water, and works for both largemouth and smallmouth around points, flats, and grass lines.
