Product description

The Slider Sinker is a lipless VIB style crankbait built for anglers who want a fast, tight-wobbling reaction bait. Its slim, weighted body sinks on the drop and gives off a rapid vibration on retrieve, making it a strong choice for covering water and triggering reaction bites from bass holding near cover or suspended over structure.

Available in two sizes, this bait works well for both largemouth and smallmouth. Cast it out, let it sink to the target depth, then work it with a steady retrieve or a lift and fall cadence. The tight side-to-side shimmy and internal rattle call fish in from a distance, making it especially effective in stained water or when bass are keying on baitfish.

How to fish it

Cast past the target area and let the bait sink to the desired depth before starting your retrieve.
Use a steady, moderate speed retrieve to keep the tight wobble consistent through the strike zone.
Work a lift and fall cadence around drop-offs and submerged cover to trigger reaction strikes.
Vary retrieve speed and pauses until you find the cadence bass respond to that day.

Frequently asked

Which size should I start with, the 70mm or 100mm?

The 70mm is a good all-around choice for typical bass fishing, while the 100mm suits bigger fish or when you need more casting distance and a larger profile.

What color should I pick for stained water?

Darker, high-contrast patterns like the black and chartreuse shown here show up well in stained or off-color water. Save more natural finishes for clear conditions.

What gear and line pair well with this bait?

A medium to medium-heavy casting rod with 12 to 17 pound fluorocarbon or 30 to 50 pound braid handles this lure well for both power and feel.

What time of year does this lure work best?

VIB style baits shine during pre-spawn and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish and responding to fast, reactive presentations.
