Description

The HMKL ALIVE BAIT is HMKL's first jointed minnow: a 5-segment body with a silicone tail that produces smooth, life-like swimming movement. Two line-tie eyes let it switch roles — the nose-tip eye for topwater presentations, and the head eye for working roughly 50cm below the surface.

Main target: bass. Type: floating. Length: 14.0cm overall (12.0cm body, excluding tail). Weight: 16.5g. Hooks: VANFOOK DT-45S #4 (belly) and #6 (rear). One spare tail is included.

This listing stocks the CLOWN colourway.

Information

The swimming action

The Alive Bait's five-segment jointed body and silicone tail combine for a smooth, life-like swimming motion, and the two line-tie eyes let it switch roles: clipped at the nose it runs a topwater walk, and clipped at the head it works roughly 50cm under the surface.

When to throw it

Built as a bass jointed minnow, it suits largemouth and smallmouth water where a slow-rolling, realistic profile draws more attention than a hard-vibrating bait, including pressured lakes and clear water.

How to work it

Fish it on a steady to slow-rolling retrieve to let the joints work naturally, switching the line tie between the nose and head eye to move between a surface walk and a shallow subsurface swim depending on how fish are responding.

The setup it likes

A 6'6" to 7' ML to M baitcasting or spinning rod suits the Alive Bait's light 16.5g body, matched with a reel in the 6:1 to 7:1 range and 12 to 16lb fluorocarbon or braid with a light leader.
