Big-M 2.0 Floating Minnow Crankbait - 6ft Diving Range
The Big-M 2.0 is a floating minnow-style crankbait built for covering water in the 6-foot range where suspended bass hold on points, ledges, and open flats. Its long, tapered profile and wide lip push a tight, rolling wobble that reads as a fleeing baitfish, drawing reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth alike.
Available in 126mm and 110mm sizes, it gives anglers a choice between a bulkier profile for targeting bigger fish and a slightly smaller size for finesse cranking. The floating design lets it rise on the pause, making it effective for working stop-and-go retrieves around cover without hanging up. Its buoyant build and diving lip combination make it a solid pick for main lake structure, rocky points, and deep grass edges.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target structure and let the bait sit for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a steady medium retrieve to reach diving depth, then add occasional pauses to trigger reaction bites.
- Work it along rocky points, submerged humps, and deep grass lines where bass suspend near structure.
- Slow down in cold water and speed up the retrieve slightly during warmer months to match bass activity.
Frequently asked
The 126mm size offers a larger profile that appeals to bigger bass and pike, while the 110mm is easier to cast and works well for a more finesse presentation on pressured fish.
A medium to medium-heavy casting rod paired with 12-15 lb fluorocarbon or 30-40 lb braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and control at diving depth.
Use more natural, translucent patterns in clear water and switch to brighter or higher-contrast finishes when fishing stained or murky conditions.
It performs well in spring through fall for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and its size and action also make it effective for pike in mixed species waters.
