Product description
This 140mm metal lip minnow is built as a countdown sinker, so it settles at a controlled rate instead of floating up between twitches. The metal lip gives it a tight, fast wobble on the retrieat and lets it dig down to reach fish holding deep along ledges, current seams, and river channels. The weighted body also casts a long way, which matters when you are covering open water or working a main lake point from a distance.
It suits largemouth and smallmouth that are set up deep or feeding on baitfish moving through current. Troll it behind the boat along a break line or cast and count it down to a specific depth before starting a slow retrieve with pauses. The sinking action keeps it in the strike zone longer than a floating jerkbait, which helps on tougher days when bass want a bait held in front of them.
How to fish it
- Cast past your target area to let the bait reach full depth before it arrives.
- Count the bait down to the depth you want to fish, adjusting the count based on how deep bass are holding.
- Retrieve with a steady crank or slow twitch-pause cadence to trigger reaction strikes.
- Work it along drop-offs, current breaks, and deep points where baitfish and bass stack up.
Frequently asked
At 140mm it is a magnum profile, best suited to larger largemouth in open water or river smallmouth keyed on bigger baitfish. It is not a finesse or numbers bait.
Bright chartreuse and green patterns like this one work well in stained or slightly off-colored water where fish rely on contrast and vibration to find the bait.
A medium-heavy to heavy casting rod with 12 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or 30 to 50 lb braid handles the weight and helps drive hooks on longer casts and deeper retrieves.
It performs well in cooler water periods and during baitfish migrations when bass are holding deep and feeding on shad or similar forage moving through current.
