Product description

The TSURINOYA 77SP is a slender suspending jerkbait built for bass anglers who work the middle of the water column. Its compact 77mm body and tight, shimmering wobble mimic a wounded baitfish, and the true suspend action means it hangs in place on the pause instead of floating up or sinking away, giving bass extra time to commit.

This bait shines when largemouth and smallmouth turn selective, around bluff walls, points, and grass edges in the 2 to 3 foot zone. A twitch-twitch-pause retrieve triggers reaction strikes, especially in cooling water or during pre-spawn and fall feeding windows.

How to fish it

Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait hang and suspend for 2 to 4 seconds between twitches.
Work it along points, bluff walls, and grass edges where bass are staging in mid-depth water.
Slow the pause in cold water and speed up the twitches when bass are actively feeding.

Frequently asked

What size bass is this jerkbait suited for?

The 77mm size matches a small to medium baitfish and works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass in typical lake and river conditions.

How do I pick a color for different water clarity?

Use natural, translucent patterns like this gold and green minnow finish in clear water, and switch to brighter or more solid patterns when the water is stained.

What rod and line pair well with this lure?

A medium action spinning or casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and solid hooksets.

What season and species does this bait work best for?

It excels for largemouth and smallmouth bass during pre-spawn and fall periods when fish are keying on baitfish in the mid-depth zone.
