Kingdom Micro Expert Jointed Minnow, 37mm Floating Topwater Lure
The Kingdom Micro Expert is a 37mm jointed minnow built for finesse topwater work. Its two-section body gives it a tight S-shaped wobble on the retrieve, and the floating design lets it sit on the surface between twitches, drawing strikes from bass keying on small baitfish. The compact profile and subtle flash make it a strong match for finicky fish in clear or pressured water.
This size is best fished on light spinning gear for largemouth and smallmouth in shallow coves, around docks, and along grass edges. It also doubles as a solid trout option in streams and ponds. Work it with slow twitches and pauses to let the joint sections do the swimming, and expect most bites to come as the bait rests on the pause.

Frequently asked
Its small 37mm profile is built for finesse presentations, ideal for bass in clear or pressured water and also effective for trout and panfish.
A light spinning setup with 4 to 8 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives the best action and casting distance for a bait this light.
Lighter, translucent colors work well in clear water, while brighter or more opaque patterns help visibility in stained conditions.
It performs best in warmer months when bass are feeding shallow near cover, and during low-light periods like dawn and dusk.
