Hunthouse Saruna Floating Minnow Jerkbait
Hunthouse Saruna Floating Minnow Jerkbait
The Saruna is a floating minnow jerkbait built for anglers who want a lure that darts, glides, and pauses with realistic hesitation. Its slim baitfish profile and tight wobble mimic shad and other forage that largemouth and smallmouth key on, while the floating design lets it sit still on the pause instead of sinking out of the strike zone.
Available in multiple lengths, it covers everything from finesse twitching for pressured smallmouth to bigger profiles for largemouth around grass edges and rock. Work it with a jerk-jerk-pause cadence over points, laydowns, and shallow flats when bass are keyed on baitfish.

How to fish it
- Cast past your target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve
- Use a jerk-jerk-pause cadence, letting the bait sit motionless on the pause since it floats back up
- Vary pause length depending on water temperature, longer pauses in cold water and shorter in warm
- Work it along points, laydowns, and grass edges where bass ambush baitfish
Frequently asked
The 90mm size works well for finesse presentations and smallmouth, while the 125mm and 147mm sizes suit larger largemouth and give you more casting distance.
Use natural shad or baitfish patterns in clear water and add more flash or a darker back in stained water so bass can track the lure.
A medium spinning or light baitcasting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or mono gives good action and enough stretch to keep hooks pinned on strikes.
It excels during pre-spawn and fall when bass are chasing baitfish in open water, and works year-round as a search bait around cover.
