Bearking 78mm Suspending Minnow Jerkbait, Tungsten Weight
Bearking 78mm Suspending Minnow Jerkbait, Tungsten Weight
This 78mm suspending minnow is built for bass anglers who want a bait that hangs in the strike zone instead of rising or sinking away. The tungsten weight transfer system keeps the lure balanced during the cast and gives it a tight, natural wobble on the retrieve, while the long bill lets it dig down and deflect off cover without fouling.
Fish it on a slow twitch-pause retrieve for largemouth holding around laydowns and dock pilings, or work it steadily for smallmouth cruising rock and gravel points. The suspending action means you can pause mid-retrieve and let it sit right in front of a following fish, which often triggers a reaction strike from bass that would otherwise turn away.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area (dock, laydown, rock point) and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait suspend motionless for 2-3 seconds during each pause.
- Slow your retrieve and lengthen pauses in cold water or when bass are following without committing.
- Switch to a steadier reel-and-twitch retrieve over rock or gravel for active smallmouth cruising the shallows.
Frequently asked
The 78mm size is a versatile profile that matches shad and minnow forage, working well for both largemouth and smallmouth in typical size ranges anglers target with a minnow bait.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and switch to brighter or higher contrast colors when the water carries more stain, so bass can key in on the silhouette and flash.
A medium power spinning or light casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good action and solid hookups without overpowering the lure's built-in movement.
It performs well in cooler water when a suspending pause draws strikes from sluggish bass, and it also handles a faster cadence in warmer months when fish are actively chasing baitfish.
