TSUYOKI Slow-Sink Rattling Slider Jerkbait
TSUYOKI Slow-Sink Rattling Slider Jerkbait
This slider-style jerkbait uses a slow-sinking build and an internal rattle chamber to call bass in from a distance. The jointed body kicks into a wide, side-to-side glide on the pause, holding in the strike zone longer than a standard hard-sink jerkbait. Available in 90mm and 105mm sizes, it covers a range of forage profiles from shad to larger baitfish.
It works best when largemouth and smallmouth are keyed on suspended baitfish in cooler water or during transitional periods in spring and fall. Twitch it down, let it sit, and watch for the subtle tap that signals a following fish committing. The loud rattle and slow fall make it a solid choice around docks, points, and open water where bass are chasing but not fully aggressive.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the bait settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use short, sharp twitches followed by a pause to let the slider glide and slow-sink in place.
- Watch your line on the pause since most strikes come as the bait is falling or sitting still.
- Slow the retrieve and lengthen pauses in cold water, speed up and shorten pauses when bass are actively chasing.
Frequently asked
The 90mm is a good all-around choice for typical bass forage. Step up to 105mm when targeting larger fish or matching bigger baitfish.
Go with brighter, high-contrast patterns in stained water and more natural, translucent shad patterns in clear water.
A medium to medium-heavy rod with 12 to 17 lb fluorocarbon or 30 to 50 lb braid gives good control over the glide action and hookset power.
It shines during spring and fall transitions when bass are relating to suspended baitfish, and works well in cooler water when a slow presentation is needed.
