Favorite Suspending Jerk Bait? 2024

YakAttack reply :

Just wondering what everyones favorite hard suspending jerk bait is?

I been mainly using Lucky Craft Pointer 100's.

roadwarrior reply :

The Pointers are my favorite, too.

However, I also fish the Rapala Husky Jerk & X-Rap, as well as the Smithwick Rogue on occasion.

CJ reply :

Smithwick Rattlin' Pro Suspending Rogue is my favorite.I do tune these with a section of a suspend strip.

basspro48 reply :

I use Husky jerks, x-raps, and rogue's on occasion, but my favorite and most productive is the Lucky Craft Pointer 100 and 78.

I have been fishing with hard bass lures long enough to know that all lures aren't created equal.

I don't mean when comparing a squad minnow to a pointer. I'm talking about when you go to the tackle shop and see an enitire row of identical baits. For some reason, one in fifty or maybe a hundred of the identical bait is a standout. It will flat out catch fish.

I have one of those. It's a lucky craft pointer 78 in chartreuse shad. I dipped it into some chartreuse spike it. It came out a sort of sickly green, but wow do it catch bass.

The only other time I'm aware of having a bait like this was a heddon dying flutter. It was an unbelievable fish catcher. It may still be swimming in the jaw of some really big bass. Wellllllllllllllllllllllll not really seeing as how it broke off close to 30 years ago. Anyway, over the years, I have bought the exact same lure maybe a dozen or more times. NONE has even come close to my first. And yes, I tuned the props and every other thing I could think of.

See my sig.

Used Rouges for a long time and liked them, they still have great colors. It seems lately that I have a really hard time getting them to work worth a durn even a fter trying to "tune" them. I guess I'll have to say Husky Jerks. Have never had a problem with one (actually any Rapala)...

As Ever,

Yes, they sure work! I also like the Pointers and the Megabass Vision 110 (slow floating).

Tokyo Tony reply :

X-Rap and LC Pointer, equally. Sometimes one seems to outproduce the other, but they are both amazing baits. The thing I like about the X-Rap is that it's a little cheaper, but with that I also need to tune X-Raps more than the LC's.

I've been looking at some of these crazy Japanese jerkbaits, and they look pretty awesome. You can see some pretty crazy ones on:

Rapala husky jerks are my favorite, but also have a few rouges and bombers. I have 2 Rebels with nice paint but not worth tying on. I would like to try some Lucky craft, but i won't pay that much and nobody is giving those away...

LC staysee and pointers

bass109 reply :

good choices MEGATRON, i prefer the LC staysee over the pointers. rapala original floaters are always good. X-rap deep 10 is better for spring and fall.

Shadcranker reply :

It's a tie- 41/2 in Supending Rogue - LC Pointer 100

If fish are more aggressive- I'll throw an X Rap.

johnbr19792003 reply :

yep pointer 100 in the rainbow trout color. It sucks losing 20 bucks to a pike though..

basspro48 reply :

Pointer 100 and Pointer 78...

However, when spotted bass and smallmouth are present a slender pointer 112 seems to work better.

Cory N reply :

Me too. Specifically MY LC pointer 78 in eggshell white that I dipped into spike it chartruese.

It's sort of a sickly greenish color.

Looks horrible, but dem bassies luvz it.

Not a big bass lure, but much fun to fish and it nails the keepers+

The Vision 110 is not a suspending jerkbait but a slow floater.

One of my favorite baits as well!!

I really like the Evergreen Sledge 7-SP or 6-SP.

Try the Vision 110 saltwater version (floating), works great on scattered fish.

cart7t reply :

Rogues

X-Raps

LC pointers

Husky Jerks

in that order

Jeff H reply :

#10 and #12 Husky Jerk in TN Shad is by far my biggest producer and favorite. I have more Rogues then I need too, like them also.
