Product description
This 50mm sinking minnow is built for finesse presentations when bass get finicky. The slim baitfish profile and tight wobbling action mimic small forage like shiners or dace, making it a natural fit for clear water and pressured fish. Its sinking design lets you control depth with pauses, working the strike zone at a speed bass can commit to.
Work it with a slow twitch-pause retrieve along rock banks, laydowns, or current seams where smallmouth and largemouth hold tight to cover. The subtle roll and flash on the pause often trigger reaction strikes from fish that ignore faster moving lures. A dependable choice for finesse jerkbait fishing in streams, clear lakes, and cold-water conditions.
How to fish it
- Cast past cover such as rock, laydowns, or current seams and let the lure sink to the target depth
- Work it with a slow twitch-twitch-pause retrieve to trigger the wobble and flash
- Extend the pause in cold water or when fish are following without committing
- Pair with light spinning gear and fluorocarbon leader for better action and bite detection
Frequently asked
A light to medium spinning rod with 6 to 8 lb fluorocarbon or light braid with a fluoro leader gives the best action and feel for strikes.
Use natural, translucent patterns in clear water and brighter or more contrasted finishes in stained or off-color conditions.
It works well for largemouth and smallmouth bass, and is also effective for trout and panfish in streams and clear lakes.
It excels in cold water and clear conditions when bass are less aggressive and respond better to a slow, twitch-pause retrieve.
