Hunthouse 135mm Floating Minnow Jerkbait
This 135mm floating minnow is built for anglers who want distance and a clean, natural swimming action.

The long casting design lets you cover flats, points, and open water quickly when bass are scattered and feeding on baitfish.

Product description
This 135mm floating minnow is built for anglers who want distance and a clean, natural swimming action. The slim baitfish profile and weighted internals give it a tight wobble on the retrieve and a slow, tempting rise on the pause, mimicking a wounded shad or shiner. The long casting design lets you cover flats, points, and open water quickly when bass are scattered and feeding on baitfish.
Work it with a steady retrieve for a rolling swim, or add sharp twitches and pauses to trigger reaction strikes from largemouth and smallmouth holding near cover or suspended over structure. It runs just under the surface, making it a strong choice early morning or in stained to clear water when fish are keying on shad-sized forage.
How to fish it
- Cast to points, flats, or grass edges and let the lure settle before starting your retrieve.
- Use a steady retrieve for a natural swimming action in open water or along drop-offs.
- Add sharp twitch-pause-twitch movements to imitate a fleeing baitfish and trigger reaction bites.
- Pause longer over suspended fish or cold fronts to let the bait hang and draw a strike.
Frequently asked
The 135mm size matches well with average to larger largemouth and smallmouth, making it a solid choice for open water and reaction bites rather than finesse fishing.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 10-15 lb fluorocarbon or braid with a fluorocarbon leader gives good casting distance and solid hookups.
Use natural shad or baitfish patterns in clear water and brighter chartreuse or pink accents in stained or murky conditions.
It performs well in spring and fall when bass chase baitfish near the surface, and it also works for pike and trout in the same conditions.
