Product description
This Bearking minnow is a slim-profile hard bait built for bass anglers who want a reliable jerkbait with real cast distance. At 10cm and 14.5g it has enough weight to cut through wind and load a spinning or light casting rod, while the tight wobble and subtle roll mimic a fleeing baitfish. The textured scale finish and sharp color separation give it a lifelike flash that bass key in on, even in stained water.
Twin treble hooks are set for solid hookups on both largemouth and smallmouth. Work it with a steady retrieve for a tight swimming action or add jerk-pause strokes to trigger reaction strikes along drop-offs, points, and grass edges. It is a solid choice for pre-spawn and fall feeding windows when bass are keyed on baitfish.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a steady, moderate-speed retrieve to trigger reaction strikes along grass lines and points.
- Work jerk-pause cadences near drop-offs and structure to imitate a wounded baitfish.
- Vary retrieve speed and pause length until you find what triggers strikes that day.
Frequently asked
The 10cm/14.5g size is a versatile profile that works well for both largemouth and smallmouth bass, matching common shad and minnow forage sizes.
Bright, high-contrast patterns like chartreuse and red work best in stained or murky water, while more natural patterns suit clear conditions.
A medium-light to medium spinning or casting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or monofilament line gives good casting distance and solid hooksets.
Pre-spawn and fall are prime seasons when bass are actively chasing baitfish, making this jerkbait style especially effective.
