Meredith Jerkbait Minnow 100mm 14g Floating Bass Lure
Meredith Jerkbait Minnow 100mm 14g Floating Bass Lure
This 100mm, 14g jerkbait is built as a slow-floating minnow, giving you that pause-and-rise action bass can't resist. The slim minnow profile and internal rattle system push out flash and vibration on every twitch, calling fish in from a distance before settling into a lifelike glide on the pause.
Built with a UV-reactive finish and through-wire hook hangers, it holds up to repeated hits from largemouth and smallmouth alike. Work it over grass flats, along dock lines, or through suspended baitfish schools when bass want a subtle, twitch-pause retrieve instead of steady cranking.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches followed by a pause to let the bait glide and hang in the strike zone.
- Slow the retrieve near cover like docks, laydowns, or grass edges where bass are holding tight.
- Watch your line on the pause since most strikes come as the bait is sitting still or slowly rising.
Frequently asked
The 100mm, 14g size is a versatile all-around profile that works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass in most lake and river conditions.
Brighter, high-contrast finishes like the pink and yellow UV pattern show up better in stained or off-colored water, while more natural or translucent patterns tend to work better in clear conditions.
A medium-light to medium spinning or casting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and enough sensitivity to feel strikes on the pause.
It performs well in cooler water during spring and fall when bass are keying on baitfish and respond to a slower, twitch-pause presentation, though it can also produce over grass and structure in summer.
