Saruna Minnow Jerkbait 95mm Red Head Hard Bait
Saruna Minnow Jerkbait 95mm Red Head Hard Bait
The Saruna Minnow is a 95mm jerkbait built with a slim, baitfish profile and a scaled finish that throws flash with every twitch. The clear diving lip gives it a tight wobble on the retrieve and a subtle side-to-side glide on the pause, mimicking a stunned or fleeing baitfish. The classic red head and silver body pattern stands out in stained water and still reads natural in clear conditions.
At 8g it casts well on medium spinning gear and covers water fast, making it a solid search bait around points, grass edges, and current seams. Work it with a twitch-twitch-pause cadence for largemouth holding near cover, or a steadier retrieve for smallmouth chasing baitfish in open water. The sturdy split rings and sharp trebles hold up to solid hookups from bass and other predatory species.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence to trigger reaction strikes from bass holding near cover.
- Slow down the pause in cold water or when fish seem sluggish to give them more time to react.
- Work it along grass lines, points, and drop-offs where baitfish naturally travel.
Frequently asked
The 95mm profile matches typical forage size and works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass in most conditions.
This red head and silver pattern works well in stained or slightly murky water because the red creates a visible trigger point, while the silver flash still reads naturally in clearer conditions.
A medium power spinning rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and solid hooksets.
It performs well from spring through fall for bass and can also be used for pike or seabass when baitfish are active and near the surface.
