SeaKnight SK044 Jointed Suspending Minnow 90mm 7.4g
The SK044 is a jointed suspending minnow built for bass anglers who want a lifelike swimming action without constant reeling. The segmented body and soft paddle tail flex through the water on the pause, giving off a wounded baitfish look that triggers reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover.
At 90mm and 7.4g it casts easily on standard spinning gear and suspends in the strike zone instead of rising or sinking away. This makes it effective for twitch-and-pause presentations around docks, laydowns, and grass edges, especially when bass are keying on baitfish but not chasing fast moving lures.

Frequently asked
It is designed to suspend, holding its depth in the water column when paused instead of rising or sinking.
Brighter, higher contrast colors work better in stained water while more natural, translucent patterns suit clear water conditions.
A medium power spinning rod with 8-10 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good action and hook-up ratio.
It works for both largemouth and smallmouth bass and is especially productive during pre-spawn and fall when baitfish patterns are active.
