Kingdom King Art-II Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
Kingdom King Art-II Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
The King Art-II is a slim-profile sinking minnow built for anglers who want precise depth control and a tight, erratic kick on the pause. The scaled finish and molded gill plates give it a realistic baitfish look that holds up in clear to lightly stained water, and the through-wire construction keeps it stable during hard jerks and long casts.
Available in 70mm, 90mm, and 110mm sizes, this jerkbait covers everything from finesse presentations for pressured largemouth to bigger profiles for smallmouth chasing shad and alewife. Its sinking design lets you work it at different depths in the water column, making it a solid choice for suspended bass along drop-offs, points, and clear rock structure.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the bait sink to your desired depth before starting the retrieve.
- Use a series of short, sharp jerks followed by a pause to trigger reaction strikes from following bass.
- Vary pause length based on water temperature, longer pauses in cold water, shorter in warm water.
- Work the bait along drop-offs, points, and rock edges where suspended bass are holding.
Frequently asked
The 90mm-14g is a versatile middle ground for most largemouth situations. Size down to the 70mm for finesse work in pressured lakes, or up to the 110mm when targeting bigger fish or matching larger baitfish.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and switch to brighter or more contrasted finishes when the water is stained. Match the profile to local baitfish whenever possible.
A medium-light to medium spinning or casting rod with fluorocarbon line in the 8 to 12 lb range gives good action and sensitivity for jerkbait fishing.
Yes. The sinking action and tight kick work well for smallmouth bass, especially around rock structure and drop-offs, and it also performs for largemouth in similar clear-water conditions.
