Bearking 160mm Floating Minnow Jerkbait with Tungsten Weight System
This 160mm floating minnow is built for anglers who want a long, slender bass jerkbait that casts far and swims true. The internal tungsten weight system shifts during the cast for extra distance, then settles for a tight, tracking wobble on the retrieve. It runs shallow, between 2.6 and 4 feet, making it a solid choice for working points, flats, and grass edges without constantly snagging bottom.
The floating design lets you work it with sharp twitches and pauses, letting the bait hang and flash before darting again, a cadence bass find hard to ignore. It comes in a wide range of natural and reaction colors so you can match local baitfish or switch to bright patterns in stained water. A dependable pick for largemouth and smallmouth working the shallows.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait sit for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence to make the minnow dart and flash like a fleeing baitfish.
- Slow the retrieve in cold water and speed it up with sharper twitches once bass turn active in warmer months.
- Work it over grass flats and along drop-offs where bass ambush baitfish near the surface.
Frequently asked
The 160mm length is a solid all-around size for largemouth and smallmouth bass, matching common baitfish profiles without being too bulky.
Choose brighter or higher-contrast patterns in stained or murky water, and stick to natural, translucent colors in clear conditions.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 10-14 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament gives good control and lets the bait run true at its intended depth.
It works well in spring and fall when bass are feeding shallow, and can also be effective early morning or evening during summer topwater windows.
