Kingdom Basstador Floating Minnow Jerkbait 150mm
Kingdom Basstador Floating Minnow Jerkbait 150mm
The Basstador 008 is a 150mm floating minnow built for long casts and a tight, erratic wobble that bass mistake for a fleeing shad or shiner. The slim, weighted body carries well on the cast and sits horizontal at rest, so a simple twitch-pause retrieve draws strikes from fish holding near points, grass edges, and open flats.
Three sharp trebles keep hooked bass pinned through headshakes and jumps. This lure works well for largemouth cruising baitfish schools in reservoirs and for smallmouth patrolling clear rocky lakes, especially during spring and fall when bass key on baitfish in the upper water column.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle before starting your retrieve
- Use a sharp twitch-twitch-pause cadence to trigger reaction strikes from following bass
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find what the fish want that day
- Watch your line on the pause since most strikes come as the bait sits still or just starts moving again
Frequently asked
Yes, 150mm is a solid baitfish-size profile that draws attention from both largemouth and smallmouth without being too large for average bass to eat.
Use natural shad or silver patterns in clear water and brighter chartreuse or firetiger patterns in stained or murky water for better visibility.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 10 to 15 lb fluorocarbon or 20 to 30 lb braid gives good casting distance and solid hooksets.
Spring and fall are prime times when bass actively chase baitfish near the surface, though it also works over deeper structure during summer low-light periods.
