New to jerkbait fishing 2025
TriStateBassin106 reply :
Does anyone have any hard baits they can recommend as jerkbaits? Rapala? Berkely? Something less expensive so I don't have to spend much on a new one if any mishaps happen, really want to get into it this year as I had luck with flukes in the past.
Also I mostly fish bodies of water that aren't really that deep (less than 10 feet), recommended suspending depths?
Choporoz reply :
Couple thoughts....
-Most of the time I fish jerkbaits in pretty open water and don't lose many....at least compared to cranks and other baits
-What's 'cheap'? I got three Lucky Craft Pointer 110SP yesterday for under $29 shipped. To me, that's plenty cheap. Cheaper options in Rapala and Smithwick will also fish well
-What's 'deep'? Most of my jerkbaits suspend between 3 and 10 feet, though I do have a few deeper ones.

Cheap in my opinion is anything under 15 dollars, thanks for the advice.

For skinny water I have a lot of luck with lucky craft 78 pointers. Depends on the forage but bluegill/perch or shad patterns.
You can get 3 of these on ebay most of the time for about 10 bucks a piece
jimmyjoe reply :
Unlike most other people here, I fish some really shallow flats. I've had fantastic luck with Bomber 13A lures, in chartreuse shiner and royal flush. I snap them violently, and they give me a "walk the dog"-type movement. But in ten feet of water, I'd use these only very early or very late. With the sun high, I'd use something else. jj

I really like Berkley Cutters, 6th Sense Provoke 106X, Lucky Craft Pointer. I try to buy in perch or rainbow trout colors for my area.

Can't go wrong with a Husky Jerk
drscholl14 reply :
Strike King KVD Jerk and it's deep version as well. Caught many Spring and Fall bass and think it has some of the most erratic action on the market.
