Best performing jerkbait for YOU? 2024

BASS fisherman reply :

I am certainly not meaning to start a brand war here, just wondering what has caught you the most fish?

If you choose "other", please explain.

Tin reply :

About a 3' pointer has landed me the most fish, some big ones over 4 pounds too. But the 78dd is a close second.

About a 3' pointer

WOW

That's a huge pointer dude. You must have some beasts swiming in your waters ;D ;D

T-rig reply :

Megabass Vision 110.

roadwarrior reply :

This is my favorite lure class. I have a large collection of Rogues, X-Raps, Husky Jerks, Pointers and Stacey.

The Lucky Craft Pointers are VERY well made and my most productive jerkbaits. The Rapala X-Rap is also VERY well made. The Blue & Silver Husky Jerk is a "must have". For years I have fished Smithwick Rogues. They are a POS, but when they work right, are VERY productive. (If you buy Rogues, test them and take the ones that are defective or BECOME defective back for exchange).

SPAZ reply :

Megabass vision 110's by far.

YakAttack reply :

LC Pointers

Raul reply :

Rapala Original Minnow size 11.

The_Natural reply :

I selected the Pointer, but the X-rap has produced just as well for me to be honest. I generall throw the Slender Pointer, which has a similar action to the X-rap. If you own Pointers...you should add a few Slender Pointers to your arsenal. Especially if you fish waters with smallmouth present.

BASS fisherman reply :

I forgot all about the X-rap and the original floater. Whoops!!

They are added now.

I put up this poll because I have been building my jerkbait collection.

Raul reply :

There are many jerkbaits from where to choose, still, the Original Rapala floating minnow is the one I 've caught the most fish with out of all the jerkbaits I own, not because it 's the best or greatest, it doesn 't even cast well, it 's just a matter of time, no "newer" bait can contest with a bait you 've been fishing with for more than three decades that still catches fish.

BTW, I caught my first 10+ pounder with one.

Laineisbosshog reply :

LC pointer for me as well

MALTESE FALCON reply :

For me it's X-Raps and Husky jerks. Very productive lures.

Catt reply :

Original RB1200 Smithwick Rattlin' Rogue, Gold/Black Back/Orange Belly

norm2525 reply :

If we are talking about the best made now, I would say Lucky crafts and Megabass. As far as catching more fish for me Im still partial to swithwick rogues. Also, I have caught more on a zoom super fluke than all the rest combined.

Munkin reply :

While the best bait depends on the day here are my overall top 5:

LC pointer 78sp, LC Slender pointer 97mr, Team Daiwa 1091, Smithwick Rogue, Xcalibur XS4

Honorable mention: LC pointer 65sp (works great but catches a lot of small fish), Evergreen M-1 inspire minnow (would make a top ten list), Rapala Husky Jerk (works great for me in non-moving water but not rivers), Megabass Vision 110 (all or nothing bait? either they are all over it or nothing)

brian_82 reply :

Cultiva's and even some of the suspending bps jerks are working for me. I just cant get myself on the LC bandwagon.

.dsaavedra. reply :

xrap for me, its about the only jerkbait i have ever used (i havent used jerkbaits much, but i want to use em more this year) and i caught quite a few fish off that xrap. its a good lure!

skillet reply :

Would like to back RW up on this one. I voted Husky Jerk, don't think I've ever had a Rapala not run straight out of the box. If you get a Rogue that runs true it is GREAT (really like some of their colors too). I have picked one up because of the color (only had one) and it was a piece of crap ...

As Ever,

Jeff H reply :

For me, by FAR, it has been the #12 Husky Jerk in Tennessee Shad.

jdw174 reply :

Didn't vote cuz I couldn't pick more than one I use the Long A, Rogue, and Redfin with an occasional Rapala.

Cujo reply :

Rapala original has put many fish in my boat!

deadeye32. reply :

I like using the pointers and have caught lots of fish with them, but I have also done well with the Diawa TD minnows.

ww2farmer reply :

Husky jerks have caught me more fish than X-raps, jsut because they have been around longer. I have been fishing X-raps more the last few years though. I would also say the orginal Rapala has caught me alot of fish too.

Wow, I must have been really tired after work, I meant a 3" Husky Jerk.

Or maybe you had too much Jack Daniel's? ;D

fourbizz reply :

Staysee 90SP Ver.2 Spawning Pro Blue

I don't really throw jerkbaits though

LCpointerKILLA reply :

Vision 110s and pointer 100s are so different it is ridiculous, but my go to bait that I KILL IT on is the pointer 78

tfisherman reply :

I like the Xcalibur baits so I'd have to go with their XS4 and this year going to use the XT3 some as well.

I like gold and black this has always been a go to color for me anywhere

X-Rap reply :

X-Rap 8 all the way
