At the business end of Bait Finesse fishing is an exceptional, lifelike, lightweight lure, such as the Dr. Minnow Jointed Sinking Jerkbait. The precision lure sports realistic eyeballs, gills, and scales molded into a finely tuned body. Additionally, each of the four must-have patterns features intricate paintjobs to elicit strikes in varying water conditions.
The componentry is grade A as well. A sleek and durable bill yields a tight wobble with supreme durability. And a pair of superbly sharp #12 treble hooks are kept by small but strong split-rings.
The centerpiece, however, is its jointed action. The spritely Dr. Minnow Jointed Sinking Jerkbait runs as true as its one-piece brother, but with extra bodily thrash and kick on the backside. Often fished more aggressively, jointed jerkbaits are known to draw reaction strikes.
As the name implies, DAIWAs newest hardbait also sinks at rest. Doing so gives you the authority to fish deeper water with a smaller lure. Whereas most lures this size run 2- to 3-feet deep, given time to sink after the cast, you can get the Dr. Minnow Jointed Sinking Jerkbait to operate in deeper climes.
Applications for the Dr. Minnow Jointed Sinking Jerkbait go well beyond bass, too. The versatile lure is a verifiable trout slayer. Upsized rainbows and carnivorous brown trout are qualified applicants for the jerkbaits realistic looks and authentic action. Crappies, and even walleyes will also find favor in the Dr. Minnow Jointed Sinking Jerkbait.
