SeaKnight SK008 125mm Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
SeaKnight SK008 125mm Sinking Minnow Jerkbait
The SeaKnight SK008 is a 125mm sinking minnow built for anglers who want a bait that gets down fast and stays in the strike zone. Its slim profile and internal weighting produce a tight, natural wobble on the retrieve and a slow, horizontal fall on pause, mimicking a dying or disoriented baitfish. The long-casting design lets you cover more water without sacrificing accuracy, which matters when you are working points, drop-offs, or scattered cover.
This lure suits both largemouth and smallmouth bass, especially in cooler water or when fish are holding at mid-depth. Work it with a twitch-pause retrieve along channel edges, laydowns, or rocky banks, and let the sink rate do the work during the pause. The multiple sharp trebles give solid hookup odds once a bass commits.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area, whether that is a point, laydown, or rock pile.
- Use a twitch-pause retrieve, letting the bait sink and roll slightly on each pause.
- Slow down the cadence in cold water and speed up when bass are actively feeding.
- Work the bait along the edges of cover rather than straight through it to trigger reaction strikes.
Frequently asked
The 125mm size matches well with average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, making it a solid choice for most bass fisheries rather than just finesse situations.
Go with brighter or more reflective patterns in stained water so bass can find the bait, and choose more natural, translucent patterns in clear water to avoid spooking wary fish.
A medium-power spinning or baitcasting rod with 10-14 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament gives good casting distance and enough sensitivity to feel the bait's action.
It performs well in cooler water during spring and fall when bass are keying on baitfish at mid-depths, though it can also produce during summer around deeper cover.
