Product description
The Tide Minnow Slim 175 is a long, slender floating jerkbait built for anglers who need distance and a tight, natural swimming action. Its slim profile and holographic finish mimic baitfish moving through open water, making it a strong pick when bass are keyed in on shad or herring cruising flats and points.
At 175mm and 24.5g it casts far on spinning or baitcasting gear, holding a straight track even in wind. Twitch-pause retrieves draw reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth working suspended baitfish, while a steady swim covers water fast when searching new stretches of a lake or river.
How to fish it
- Cast beyond the target zone and let the lure settle before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-pause cadence to trigger reaction bites from following bass.
- Switch to a steady straight retrieve when bass are actively chasing baitfish.
- Work the lure along points, flats, and drop-offs where baitfish schools hold.

Pink and silver patterns like this one work well in clear to lightly stained water where flash and subtle color contrast trigger strikes.
A medium-power spinning or baitcasting rod with 10-15 lb fluorocarbon or braid handles the cast distance and action of this lure well.
It performs well in spring and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish schools near the surface or just below it.
