Product description
This sinking minnow jerkbait is built for anglers who want a hard bait that casts far and covers water fast. The slim minnow profile and internal weighting give it a long, accurate cast and a natural head-to-tail wobble on the retrieve, with a slow, controlled sink between twitches that keeps it in the strike zone longer.
Use it to trigger largemouth and smallmouth in open water, along drop-offs, or over submerged grass where a subtle, erratic minnow imitation gets bites that reaction baits miss. The reflective finish and marked lateral line add flash and realism, making it a solid choice for clear to moderately stained water when bass are keying on baitfish.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sink a few seconds to reach the desired depth.
- Use sharp rod twitches with slack line to make the bait dart side to side like a fleeing baitfish.
- Pause between twitch sequences and let the bait sink slowly, since most strikes come on the fall.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find the cadence bass are responding to that day.
Frequently asked
The 95mm works well for finesse presentations and pressured fish, while the 120mm pushes more water and suits bigger bass or murkier conditions.
Darker or high-contrast patterns with visible flash show up better in stained water, while natural or translucent finishes work best in clear conditions.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and solid hooksets.
It performs well in cooler water during spring and fall when bass are keyed on baitfish and respond to a slow, twitching retrieve.
