TSUYOKI Flirt Minnow Suspending Jerkbait for Bass
TSUYOKI Flirt Minnow Suspending Jerkbait for Bass
The Flirt Minnow is a slim-profile suspending jerkbait built for bass anglers who want a lure that hangs in the strike zone. Its hard ABS body carries a lifelike minnow finish with a scaled pattern and dark back, giving it a natural silhouette that reads as baitfish from any angle. The three-hook setup keeps hookup ratios high on both largemouth and smallmouth.
Worked with a jerk-jerk-pause retrieve, it darts side to side then hovers in place, triggering reaction strikes from bass that are following but not committing. It suits clear to lightly stained water where fish key on baitfish size and flash, and works well over points, ledges, and grass edges during cooler water periods.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Work it with sharp jerks of the rod tip followed by a pause, letting the bait suspend or slow-rise.
- Fish it over points, drop-offs, and grass lines where bass are staging in cooler water.
- Vary pause length until you find the cadence triggering strikes, then repeat that rhythm.
