Tsurinoya Suspending Minnow Jerkbait, 100mm
Tsurinoya Suspending Minnow Jerkbait, 100mm
This 100mm suspending minnow is built for anglers who want a jerkbait that hangs right in the strike zone instead of rising or sinking away. The slim minnow profile and tight wobbling action mimic baitfish under stress, making it a natural pick when bass are keyed in on shad or shiners.
Work it with a twitch-pause retrieve and let it hover during the pause. That suspended hang time is when most strikes happen, especially on largemouth holding near cover and smallmouth cruising rock or gravel. Two treble hooks keep hookup rates solid on both aggressive strikes and subtle follow-up bites.

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 and count how long the lure hangs before the next twitch
- Slow the retrieve near cover, drop-offs, or visible baitfish to trigger reaction strikes
- Vary pause length on colder days since suspended bass often need longer hang time to commit
Frequently asked
The 100mm size matches typical shad and shiner forage, making it a solid all-around choice for average to larger bass in most lakes and rivers.
Brighter, high-contrast patterns like this pink and purple show up better in stained water, while more natural, translucent colors tend to work best in clear conditions.
A medium action spinning or light casting rod with 8 to 12 lb fluorocarbon or a similar braid-to-fluoro leader gives good action and solid hook sets without overpowering the small trebles.
It performs especially well in cooler water during pre-spawn and fall when bass want a slower, suspended presentation, though it can produce in warmer months with a faster cadence too.
