Bearking Floating Jerkbait Minnow 11cm Bass Lure
This Bearking floating jerkbait is built in the classic slender minnow profile that largemouth and smallmouth anglers rely on for imitating shad, shiners, and other baitfish. The lifelike scale pattern and slashed sides give it a natural flash on every twitch, while the balanced construction keeps it tracking true through pauses and jerks.
At rest it floats, then dives to roughly 1.5 meters on the retrieve, making it a strong choice for working points, laydowns, and grass edges. Twitch-pause retrieves trigger reaction strikes from bass holding just below the surface, and the multiple treble hooks help convert more of those strikes into solid hookups.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure sit still for a few seconds before starting your retrieve.
- Work it with sharp twitch-pause-twitch motions to make the bait dart and flash like a fleeing baitfish.
- Slow down the retrieve in cooler water or when bass seem hesitant, adding longer pauses between twitches.
- Target transition zones such as grass lines, laydowns, and drop-offs where bass ambush baitfish.
