Kingdom Microbeetle Floating Topwater Insect Lure
The Microbeetle is a small topwater bait shaped and painted to look like a beetle resting on the surface, complete with rubber legs that flutter with the slightest movement. Built in 23mm and 29mm sizes, it floats naturally and sits low in the water like a real insect that just dropped in.
Fish it dead still around docks, overhanging brush, and shaded banks where bass key in on bugs and small baitfish. A light twitch brings the legs to life without moving the body far, making it a strong choice for pressured largemouth and smallmouth in calm, clear water.

Frequently asked
The 23mm is a finesse option for clear water and pressured bass, while the 29mm casts a bit easier and shows up better in stained water or low light.
Darker, more natural patterns work well in clear water where bass get a good look, while brighter or higher contrast colors help in stained or low light conditions.
A light spinning rod paired with light braid and a fluorocarbon leader gives the best feel for subtle twitches and solid hookups on the small treble.
It shines in warm months when insects are active on the surface, and works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass feeding in calm, shallow water.
