Kingdom Basstaor Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
Kingdom Basstaor Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
The Basstaor is a sinking minnow built for anglers who need to cover water fast and reach fish holding well off the bank. Its slim, weighted body casts long distances and sinks on a steady, controlled fall with no surface splash to spook wary bass. A subtle side-to-side roll mimics an injured baitfish, drawing strikes from fish that are keying on shad or minnows.
This bait shines when largemouth and smallmouth are suspended over points, holding along drop-offs, or sitting deeper in the water column where reaction baits fall short. Work it with a jerk-pause retrieve or a slow steady swim, and let the sinking action do the rest. Reinforced trebles help keep bass buttoned up once they commit.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure sink to the desired depth, counting down as it falls.
- Work it with a slow jerk-pause retrieve, letting it sink again on each pause to trigger reaction strikes.
- Vary retrieve speed between a steady swim and sharp twitches to find what the bass want that day.
- Focus on points, creek channels, and drop-offs where suspended bass are feeding away from cover.
Frequently asked
The 80mm/21g is a good all-around choice for typical largemouth and smallmouth water. Step up to the 93mm/30g when you need extra casting distance or are targeting larger fish in deeper water.
Use brighter, higher-contrast patterns in stained or murky water so bass can spot the lure, and switch to more natural, translucent finishes in clear water where fish get a longer look.
A medium action spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament gives good casting distance and enough give for solid hooksets without pulling hooks on the strike.
It performs well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially in spring and fall when fish suspend over structure and feed on baitfish moving through open water.
