Kingdom GT Sinking Minnow - Long Casting Jerkbait
Kingdom GT Sinking Minnow - Long Casting Jerkbait
The Kingdom GT Sinking Minnow is a heavy-duty jerkbait built for long casts and a tight, erratic swimming action. The slim minnow profile and weighted sinking design let it cut through wind and cover water fast, making it a strong choice for open-water largemouth and smallmouth holding on points, humps, and deep grass edges.
Its sinking action keeps the bait in the strike zone longer on the pause, which triggers reaction bites from bass suspended over structure or chasing baitfish. The reinforced saltwater-grade hooks and hardware hold up to hard runs from big bass, making this a good option for anglers who fish heavy cover or deep clear-water lakes where a durable, long-casting minnow bait is needed.

How to fish it
- Cast well past the target area and let the bait sink to the depth you want to work.
- Use sharp rod sweeps followed by a pause to let the minnow glide and flash on the fall.
- Work points, humps, and deep grass lines where bass are chasing baitfish in open water.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find the cadence triggering strikes that day.
Frequently asked
The 48g-127mm is the most versatile for largemouth in typical lake and reservoir conditions. Step up to the 65g or 97g for casting distance in wind or when targeting larger fish in open water.
A medium-heavy to heavy jerkbait rod with 12 to 20 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader handles the weight and gives good hook-setting power on the sturdy trebles.
Its flash and tight wobble read well in both. Use natural baitfish patterns in clear water and brighter or higher-contrast colors when the water has some color.
It was built for saltwater use but the sinking minnow action, durable hooks, and long-casting design make it effective for largemouth and smallmouth bass in open water and around deep structure.
