TSUYOKI Flatside Minnow Jerkbait, Freshwater Bass Lure
TSUYOKI Flatside Minnow Jerkbait, Freshwater Bass Lure
This flatside minnow gives you a tight, erratic wobble that mimics a wounded baitfish trying to escape. The flat-sided body kicks out extra flash on the roll, and the diamond-scale finish throws light in every direction, making it a strong pick for largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover or suspended over structure.
Built as a shallow to mid-depth jerkbait, it works twitch-pause retrieves, steady swims, and slow rolls equally well. The through-wire hook hangers and dual treble hooks keep it connected on hard strikes. Use it around laydowns, rock edges, and grass lines when bass are keyed on baitfish.
