Bearking Slim Minnow Jerkbait 175mm Floating Hard Bait
Bearking Slim Minnow Jerkbait 175mm Floating Hard Bait
This slim-profile minnow is built for anglers who want a long, castable jerkbait that still darts and glides like a smaller bait. The 175mm floating body pushes water through a tight wobble on the pause, then slashes side to side on sharp rod snaps, mimicking a fleeing baitfish. The see-through finish with a bold pink belly gives bass a realistic silhouette in clear to lightly stained water.
Three sets of sharp trebles ride low and stay clear of the line on the cast, so hookup rates stay high on both reaction bites and gut-hooked follow-up strikes. It floats at rest and dives on retrieve, making it a strong choice for suspended bass around points, drop-offs, and open flats where largemouth and smallmouth are keying on shad or shiners.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sit still to load its natural floating position before the first twitch.
- Use sharp, short rod snaps with slack line to make the bait dart and flash rather than swim straight.
- Pause 2 to 4 seconds between twitch sequences, especially in cooler water when bass are less willing to chase.
- Vary retrieve speed on repeat casts until you find the cadence that triggers strikes that day.
Frequently asked
The 175mm length and slim profile suit average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, and it also draws strikes from pike and other predatory fish that share the same water.
The clear body with pink accents reads well in clear to lightly stained water where bass rely on sight to key on baitfish, giving a natural translucent look rather than a solid opaque profile.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 pound fluorocarbon or 20 to 30 pound braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good castability and keeps the action lively.
This style of jerkbait is most effective in spring and fall when baitfish schools are active near the surface and bass are keyed on erratic minnow movement in open water.
