Bearking Tiode 175mm Floating Minnow Jerkbait
Bearking Tiode 175mm Floating Minnow Jerkbait
The Tiode Minnow is a slim, floating jerkbait built for long casts and a wide, searching wobble. At 175mm and 27.75g it carries well into the wind and holds its line on the retrieve, giving off a flash pattern that mimics a fleeing baitfish. The lip is tuned for a tight-to-moderate wobble on a steady retrieve and a sharper dart on twitches.
This is a search bait for largemouth and smallmouth working points, flats, and open water near baitfish schools. Fish it on a straight retrieve to cover water fast, or work it with jerk-pause cadence to trigger reaction strikes from fish holding near cover or suspended over structure. The floating design lets it sit and hover on the pause, which draws strikes from fish that are following but not yet committed.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a steady retrieve for a search pattern, or add jerk-pause-jerk cadence to trigger reaction bites.
- Pause longer over deeper structure to let the bait hover and give following fish time to commit.
- Speed up the retrieve when fish are actively chasing baitfish near the surface.
Frequently asked
The 175mm size is built for larger largemouth and smallmouth bass, and works well for imitating adult shad or herring in open water.
Bright green and chartreuse patterns like this one show up well in stained to moderately clear water where fish need a visible profile.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with moderate action works well, paired with 10-14 lb fluorocarbon or 20-30 lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader.
This style of jerkbait is effective in spring and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish in open water and near points.
