Product description
The TSUYOKI 120 is a sinking glidebait built to slide side to side on a slow, steady retrieve. Its slender profile and lifelike scale pattern mimic a wounded baitfish, while the internal rattle chamber adds a loud knock that calls fish in from a distance. The slow sink rate lets you work it through mid-depth zones without constant rod work.
This bait shines when bass are keyed on baitfish but not chasing fast-moving lures. Twitch it over points, along drop-offs, or through open water near schooling baitfish, and let it glide and pause. The dual treble hook setup keeps hookup rates solid on strikes that come during the pause, making it a strong choice for largemouth and smallmouth in clear to lightly stained water.
How to fish it
- Cast past target structure and let the bait sink to the desired depth before starting your retrieve.
- Use a slow twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait glide on each twitch and hang still on the pause.
- Work it along drop-offs, points, and the edges of baitfish schools where bass ambush prey.
- Vary pause length until you find the rhythm that triggers strikes, since most hits come during the glide or pause.
Frequently asked
The 20g version works well for shallower, finesse presentations, while 30g and 50g get the bait deeper and cast farther in open water or wind.
Natural shad or baitfish patterns like this one work best in clear water, while brighter or darker colors help in stained conditions where visibility is lower.
A medium to medium-heavy baitcasting rod with 12 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or braid to fluorocarbon leader gives good control over the glide action and hookset power.
It performs best when bass are feeding on baitfish schools, particularly in the fall and spring when shad or similar forage is active near the surface or mid-depth.
