Product description
The Tide Slim Minnow is a long, slender jerkbait built for anglers who want a bigger profile without a heavy splash. At 175mm and 24.5g, it casts far on spinning or baitcasting gear and sits horizontal at rest, ready to dart on the first twitch. The slim body and flat sides throw a tight, natural roll with plenty of flash, mimicking a fleeing baitfish rather than a frantic one.
Fish it over grass flats, points, and open water where bass key on shad or shiners. The floating design lets it hang in the strike zone during pauses, which is often when largemouth and smallmouth commit. It works as a searching bait early and late season, and as a follow-up bait when fish are keyed on suspended baitfish.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait settle to a horizontal float.
- Work it with sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting slack form between snaps.
- Extend the pause over suspended fish or cold fronts to let it hang in place.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find the cadence triggering strikes.
Frequently asked
No. Slim profiles this length are a standard size for bass keyed on larger baitfish, especially in open water or when targeting bigger fish.
Use natural shad or silver patterns in clear water, and brighter or darker high-contrast patterns in stained or off-color conditions.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader handles the cast weight and gives good hook-up control.
It shines during post-spawn and fall when bass chase larger baitfish in open water, and works well over grass edges and points year-round.
