Product description
This 77mm suspending jerkbait is built for anglers who want precise control over a lure's pause. The slim minnow profile, holographic scale pattern, and lifelike 3D eyes give it a realistic baitfish look that draws strikes from largemouth and smallmouth bass. The clear diving lip produces a tight wobble with subtle side-to-side kick on the retrieve.
Because it suspends rather than floats or sinks, you can stop it mid-column and let it hang in front of a following fish, a key trigger during cold fronts or heavy fishing pressure. It works well around points, drop-offs, and grass edges where bass ambush baitfish. Twin treble hooks give solid hookup coverage on both ends of the strike.
How to fish it
- Cast past the target area and let the lure settle for a second before starting your retrieve.
- Use a twitch-twitch-pause cadence, letting the bait suspend for 2-4 seconds between twitches.
- Slow the retrieve and extend pauses in cold water or when bass are following without striking.
- Work the lure along drop-offs, points, and grass lines where bass hold and ambush baitfish.
Frequently asked
The 77mm size matches typical forage for both largemouth and smallmouth bass and works well in most freshwater conditions.
Choose brighter, high-contrast patterns like chartreuse or firetiger in stained water, and more natural silver or shad patterns in clear water.
A medium-light to medium spinning rod with 6-10 lb fluorocarbon line gives good action and sensitivity for detecting subtle strikes.
It performs especially well in cool water during spring and fall when bass are keying on suspended baitfish.
