Kingdom Kingart-II Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
Kingdom Kingart-II Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
The Kingdom Kingart-II is a sinking minnow jerkbait built around a copper-tungsten weight transfer system that shifts mass during the cast and the retrieve. That moving weight gives the bait long, accurate casts and a tight, erratic dart on the pause, the kind of side-to-side kick and subtle roll that triggers reaction strikes from bass sitting off structure.
Available in 7.5g, 14g, and 18g sizes with matching 70mm, 90mm, and 110mm bodies, it covers water column depths from just under the surface to mid-depth suspending zones. It works well for largemouth and smallmouth around drop-offs, points, and submerged grass edges, especially when fish are keyed on baitfish and holding at a specific depth.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure sink to the desired depth before starting your retrieve.
- Use a series of sharp rod twitches followed by pauses to trigger the darting, side-to-side action.
- Vary pause length based on water temperature, longer pauses in cold water, shorter in warm water.
- Watch your line on the fall since most strikes come as the bait sinks or right after a twitch.
Frequently asked
The 90mm/14g version is the most versatile for general bass fishing. Go with the 70mm/7.5g for finesse presentations or pressured fish, and the 110mm/18g when targeting larger bass or fishing deeper water.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and brighter, high-contrast colors like the chartreuse-back finish in stained or murky water where fish need to locate the bait by sight.
A medium to medium-heavy spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or 15 to 20 lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and solid hookups without overpowering the bait's motion.
This jerkbait style shines in spring and fall when bass are actively feeding on baitfish, and it works for both largemouth in cover and smallmouth around rocky or open structure.
