Fish or Die Bait Co. Minutemen 3.5" Ribbed Swimbait

Answer the Call with Minutemen

Ribbed paddle-tail swimbait for fast coverage and reaction bites

Search, find, and convert when other baits stall

Minutemen is Fish or Die Bait Co.’s take on the proven ribbed swimbait. A tight body roll and enticing tail whip create a natural forage track that lights up pressured bass—perfect for kayak anglers who need to cover water and trigger strikes on demand. When cranks, jerks, or worms won’t fire them up, deploy the Minutemen and win the battle.

✅ Tight roll + tail thump draws fish from distance and seals the deal
✅ Ribbed body moves water and helps hold scent longer
✅ Versatile: jig heads, underspins, swim jigs, and bladed jigs
✅ Compact 3.5" profile fools both smallmouth and largemouth
✅ Kayak-friendly search bait for points, grass lines, and shoals
