Kingdom Micro Expert Floating Minnow Crankbait
The Micro Expert is a compact floating minnow built for finesse crankbait work. At just 30mm and under 2 grams, it throws a tight wobble that mimics small baitfish and forage fish bass key on in clear water or heavy pressure. The two lip options give you two distinct running depths from one small profile, so you can cover shallow flats or work slightly deeper cover without changing lure size.
This bait shines when bass are keyed on small prey, during cold front conditions, or on heavily fished water where standard-size crankbaits get ignored. Cast it on light spinning gear around laydowns, rock, and grass edges for reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike.

How to fish it
- Match lip length to depth: short lip for shallow flats, long lip for slightly deeper structure.
- Use a slow steady retrieve to let the tight wobble draw strikes without overworking the bait.
- Pause briefly after casting past cover to let the bait settle before starting the retrieve.
- Fish it on light spinning tackle and fluorocarbon leader to keep the small profile natural.
Frequently asked
Its small 30mm profile is built for finesse presentations to largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially in clear water or when bigger baits get refused.
Choose brighter or chartreuse-tinted patterns for stained water and natural or translucent shades for clear conditions.
A light to medium spinning rod paired with 4 to 8 lb fluorocarbon or light braid with a fluorocarbon leader keeps the action natural and casts easily.
The long lip version runs deeper than the short lip version, though both stay in shallow to moderate diving ranges given the small size.
