Your favorite Jerkbait??? 2024
U.W BronzeBack Hunter reply :
I planning on stocking up on some more jerkbaits for the next prespawn and summer. What do you guys recommend i get? I'm mainly a smallmouth hunter, but i occasionally target for LMB too, so any jerkbaits from the 2 1/2 '' - 4'' will suffice (nothing too big or too finesse).
thx ;D
roadwarrior reply :
I have a fairly extensive collection, but fish very few.
My three favorites are: Lucky Craft Pointer 100, Baby
Bass; Rapala Husky Jerk HJ10, Silver Blue; Rapala
X-Rap XR08, Glass Ghost.

MALTESE FALCON reply :
Here on St. Clair, these are my most productive jerkbait/slashbaits:
Rapala X-Rap size XR08 3 1/4" & XR10 4"
Bomber Long A 4 1/2"
XCalibur Xt3 Twitchbait 3 1/8"
Alot of people like the Lucky Craft Pointer, but I honestly catch more on my X-Raps.

Bass Dude reply :
For smallies (at least here in the Northeast), it's hard to beat an X-Rap in the usual colors. Plus, they cast really well. I've had good success with the Husky Jerks too, but a lot of guys don't like them. I do find they are a little hard to throw on baitcasting gear, so I usually throw them on spinning. I've had a lot of success on the Lucky Craft Pointers too, but there are a TON of pike and pickeral in the lakes up here that like to steal them from you, so I don't throw them as much.
I HATE PIKE!!!!!!!! >

Another vote here for the Smithwick Rattling Rogue! I use both floating and suspending models. One of my favorite colors is black back, gold sides and silver belly. The largemouth tear it up in the spring.

Tin reply :
You can't beat a Smithwick for shallow jerkbaiting. It may look a little big but even 10" fish have no problem choking it down. If you find aggressive prespawn fish on a wind-blown area, it is the only bait you need.
VA BassHound reply :
My favorite is the Rapala Husky Jerk Model HJ08: 3-1/8"; 1/4 oz Silver
Bronzefly reply :
MB visions, pointers, and rogues - there's one for every occasion!
Jake. reply :
Pointers by far.
TournyFish001 reply :
around here this none better than the LC Staysee for smallmouth
ejtaylor822 reply :
Rapala - X-Raps (preferred) and Husky jerks. Also picked up a bunch of Yozuri's at Dicks on sale that are pretty nice as well.
Muddy reply :
Long lean redhead in a litttle black dress, they certainly catch a lot of jerks
fathom reply :

senko_77 reply :

bassboy1 reply :
I use mostly X-raps and Pointers. Been having a couple X-raps fall apart, but I have been told that if I send them back, they will ship me new ones, so I am collecting a stockpile of busted ones. So, for fun fishing, it is fine, but after loosing a fish in a tourney, I am skeptical about throwing them over the pointers during Ts. Like the look and action of the X-rap better though.
Picked up a Diawa DB minnow with my last *** order. Anyone any experience with those?
jig reply :
smithwick suspending rogue has never let me down.The only one i use
spotaholic reply :
It's hard to beat many of the baits that have been listed. My personal favorite is a TD Minnow SP in the yellow spot color. I catch a bunck=h of fish on the jerkbait in all types of condition. Very effective during schooling times in the summer and in the winter for fish that are suspending.

Are yours like mine and have most of the paint missing? Yellow spots when the sun is out and olive back when it is cloudy.

spotaholic reply :
Yep...My chrome is GONE but it still catches fish. I will have her ready in the AM for some jerkbait action.

In my opinion the Classic Rogue that was released after KVD won the classic is the best warm water jerkbait ever. Go with LC staysee 90sp and pointer 128 before the spawn.
Brad_Coovert reply :
My favorite jerkbaits are the Pointer 78 and 100, Staysee 80 and 90 and the McStick from SPRO.
Best colors for me are Chartreuse Shad, Ghost Minnow and American Shad.

Dwight Hottle reply :
For price you can't beat the Smithwick suspending rogue. Rapala husky jerk & xrap work well. I also love using LC pointer 128SP , pointer 100 DD & staysee 90 SP.
BassNub reply :
X-Rap
just love how it twirl and dances and the long suspending pauses I can do.
TheBeast reply :
Burley
Oh, you said jerkbait not jerk.
Then I will go with a black/gold rapal #6.
Primus reply :
Some of my favorites would include X Raps, Husky Jerks & Pointers. A couple of my lesser known but just as deadly weapons would include the HMKL K-1 minnow, Jackall DD sqirrel & Mask. One that I tried last year that shows a lot of promise is the IMA Flit. The one that I think is the most underated is the Lucky Craft Flash minnow, this would be the one that I would use in place of a Roque when I want a bigger shallow running jerkbait.

Xraps and Pointers seem to fill in all the blanks in the jerkbait department for me. All you need to do is a hook change and add water...

I see no reason to change the VMC hooks on either of these lures.
fathom reply :
remembered one more...original rapala floater in silver/black.
killer #1 in my panic box.
TrippyJai reply :
If the LC one'd didn't cost me $20, it would be my favourite so I have to go with the X-Raps.

The VMC's are strong and sharp- no question but Gamakatsu stingers seem to set better or it could just be a confidence thing...

POINTER 100 and 78 hands down

Make sure you put a few LC Pointer 78s in your collection. Regular depth and the deeper runner. Chart Shad.
