Jackall Bital Minnow

Designed for Midstrolling and Hoverstrolling

The Jackall Bital Minnow is a soft lure with a V-tail, purpose-built for modern open-water fishing - specifically midstrolling and hoverstrolling. It combines a realistic silhouette with a balance perfectly tuned to its intended use and a host of design details that produce a subtle but highly effective action. That makes it a particularly strong choice for cautious predators in clear water or heavily pressured venues.

Notch, Ribs, and Further Details for the Perfect Action

Every element of the Jackall Bital Minnow has been carefully thought through to achieve its rolling action and maximum attraction. The head section is reinforced to give the hook a firm, secure seat, and alignment markings on top of the head let you rig it quickly and accurately. Only a correctly positioned hook delivers reliable hooking performance. The distinctive notch on the back serves a dual purpose: it provides high tracking stability at speed and maximises the action. Directly behind it, lateral ribs generate fine vibrations that closely mimic the movements of a fleeing baitfish - a strong trigger for predators. The V-tail adds extra movement while keeping the lure stable enough to swim enticingly without excessive rolling. Finally, moulded-in salt gives the Bital Minnow a perfectly controlled sink rate, which is especially critical for hoverstrolling.

Highly Flexible and Durable Elastomer

The Jackall Bital Minnow is made from a highly flexible and robust elastomer. The material is virtually indestructible by fish and allows for an excellent lure action. One important note: do not store the Bital Minnow alongside other soft plastics, as the material contains no plasticisers and will break down on contact with those that do. Also worth noting is the factory-fitted retaining pin in the V-tail, which prevents the tail from sticking together during storage. Cut this small pin away before use to allow the tail to move freely and deliver its full action.

Versatile Beyond Its Core Use

Although the Jackall Bital Minnow was designed around midstrolling and hoverstrolling, it has plenty more to offer. It works well on light jig heads, and a belly slot for offset hooks means you can fish it across a range of finesse rigs. The manufacturer also specifically recommends it as a trailer on a chatterbait. All of this makes the Bital Minnow a highly versatile soft plastic that produces results in a wide variety of presentations.
