Tsurinoya 60S Sinking Minnow Jerkbait 60mm 6.1g
Tsurinoya 60S Sinking Minnow Jerkbait 60mm 6.1g
The 60S is a compact sinking minnow built for finesse jerkbait work when bass want a subtle, natural profile. At 60mm and 6.1g it casts easily on light spinning gear and sinks on a controlled fall, giving you a target for suspended or neutral fish. The slim body and internal weighting produce a tight, erratic shimmy on the twitch, mimicking a dying baitfish rather than a fleeing one.
Because it sinks instead of floats, the 60S lets you work a strike zone at multiple depths within a single retrieve, pausing and letting it fall through a school. It shines around docks, laydowns, and rock edges where largemouth and smallmouth hold tight to cover, and it is equally useful twitched through clear water for finicky smallmouth or worked slower in stained water to help fish locate it by vibration.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target (dock post, laydown, rock edge) and let the lure sink to the desired depth on a controlled count.
- Use short, sharp rod twitches with slack line to make the bait dart side to side rather than swim straight.
- Pause between twitch series and let the lure sink or hang, since most strikes come on the fall or during the pause.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find what triggers bites, then repeat that cadence on the next cast.
Frequently asked
It works for both, but its light weight and subtle action make it especially effective for anglers already comfortable twitching jerkbaits. Beginners can still catch fish by keeping the retrieve simple with steady pauses.
In clear water, choose natural baitfish patterns that match local forage. In stained or murky water, brighter or higher contrast colors help bass locate the lure by sight and vibration.
A light to medium spinning rod with 6 to 10 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and sensitivity for detecting subtle strikes on the pause.
It performs well in cooler water or transitional seasons like spring and fall when bass are less aggressive and prefer a slower, more natural presentation over reaction baits.
