Tsurinoya Sinking Minnow 60S Jerkbait Hard Bait
Tsurinoya Sinking Minnow 60S Jerkbait Hard Bait
The Sinking Minnow 60S is a compact jerkbait built for anglers who want precise control over depth and pause time. Its sinking design lets it settle into the strike zone and stay there, giving bass extra time to react to a subtle twitch-and-pause retrieve. The slim minnow profile and tight wobble mimic baitfish that largemouth and smallmouth key on around cover and current breaks.
At 60mm and 6.1g, this bait is easy to cast on light spinning gear and works well in clear to lightly stained water where a natural, finesse presentation gets more bites. It shines around docks, laydowns, and rocky points, and is equally effective for suspended bass in cooler months when a slow fall triggers strikes.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure sink to the desired depth before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait sink slightly on each pause to trigger reaction strikes.
- Slow down the retrieve in cold water so the lure stays in the strike zone longer.
- Work it parallel to cover like docks, laydowns, and rock edges where bass ambush baitfish.

Yes, the sinking minnow profile and subtle action are effective for both species, especially around rocky structure and current where smallmouth feed on baitfish.
It performs well in cooler water during pre-spawn and fall when bass key on slower moving, suspending baitfish, though it can also produce during summer with a faster cadence.
