Product description
This 85mm sinking minnow is built for a slow, controlled fall that keeps it in the strike zone longer. At 14.7g it casts easily on medium spinning gear and sinks at roughly 0.6m/s, giving you time to work it through current seams, drop-offs, and around cover without rushing the retrieve.
The slim minnow profile and tight wobble mimic baitfish, perch, and small shad, making it effective for largemouth holding near structure and smallmouth working current breaks in rivers and streams. A twitch-pause retrieve triggers reaction strikes, while a slow roll suits pressured or cold-water bass that want a subtler presentation.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target zone and let the lure sink to the desired depth before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-pause cadence to trigger reaction bites from active bass holding near cover.
- Slow roll the lure through current seams and eddies to imitate disoriented baitfish for river smallmouth.
- Count down the sink time to dial in depth control around drop-offs, laydowns, and dock pilings.
Frequently asked
Yes, 85mm is a solid all-around minnow size that works for both largemouth and smallmouth, especially when bass are keyed on smaller baitfish.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and brighter, higher-contrast colors like the pink-back pattern shown in stained or slightly murky water.
A medium or medium-light spinning rod with 6 to 10 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good action and sensitivity for this weight class.
It performs well year-round but really shines in spring and fall when bass are feeding on baitfish in current or along structure, and in colder water when a slower presentation gets more bites.
