Floating Jerkbait Seabass Minnow Long Cast 14cm 23g

Product Details

This floating jerkbait is a 14cm, 23g long range minnow made for seabass and other big game fishing from the shore. It floats at rest and dives when you wind or jerk the rod, so you control how deep it runs and how long it stays there. On every pause it rises slowly back toward the surface, and that slow climb is often the moment a following fish decides to strike.

The 23g weight is the reason this hard bait casts so well. It lets you reach fish that hold well out, over sandbars, along reef edges, at river mouths and in the tide lines where seabass hunt, even when the wind is in your face. The 14cm body gives a slim but clear baitfish shape that stands out in surf and white water without looking too big for the prey fish feed on.

To fish it as a jerkbait, cast long, wind a few turns to bring it down, then work it with short, sharp downward rod jerks. Each jerk makes the minnow dart to one side and flash, as if it were an injured fish. Mix two or three jerks with a pause of one or two seconds, and let the bait float up a little before the next jerk. When fish are less active, make the pauses longer. When they chase hard, cut the pauses and work it faster.

A floating bait is also a safe choice over shallow rocks and weed, because you can stop winding and let it rise clear of snags. A slow, steady wind gives a tight swimming action just under the surface, which works well at dawn, dusk and at night. Braided line helps you feel each jerk and set the hook at long range. Rinse the lure in fresh water after each sea session to protect the hooks and split rings.
