SeaKnight SK008 Sinking Minnow Lure 125mm 20g
The SeaKnight SK008 is a 125mm sinking minnow built for anglers who want distance and control in one bait. At 20g it loads a rod easily for long casts, and the slow sink rate lets it work a shallow to mid-depth column between 0.3 and 0.9 meters. The slim profile and tight wobbling action mimic a fleeing baitfish, which triggers reaction strikes from bass holding near cover or suspended along breaklines.
Three treble hooks give solid coverage on strikes, useful when bass slash at the bait without fully committing. This lure suits open water around points, flats, and grass edges where a horizontal presentation outperforms a straight fall. It handles both twitch-pause retrieves and steady swimming, making it a versatile pick for largemouth and smallmouth throughout the year.

Frequently asked
The 125mm size targets keeper-class largemouth and smallmouth bass, though it will also draw strikes from larger fish actively feeding on baitfish.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and go with higher-contrast or darker finishes when the water is stained or off-color.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and enough sensitivity to feel the bait's action.
It performs well from spring through fall whenever bass are feeding on baitfish in open water, with especially strong results during pre-spawn and fall feeding periods.
