Re: hard jerk baits!
My first encounter with a 10 pounder took place while fishing a Rapala Minnow, have caught plenty of fish with them and during the prespawn they are lethal.

Re: hard jerk baits!
If your considering jerk baits I would recommend that you build up the strength in your arm each time you go out...to the beginner 45 minutes of jerking that rod(you know the one i mean lol) can give your forearm a charlie horse

Re: hard jerk baits!
I love them, and have great success with them! My favorite jerkbait is a floating Smithwick Rogue.

Re: hard jerk baits!
Love them, especially in the early spring. One of the best baits to catch cold water smallmouth here in Connecticut during the prespawn. When fish won't hit a tube or smaller hair jig and you have to provoke a reaction strike, hard jerkbaits are the ticket! Also work well in warmer water, when jerked really erratically in many of the clear lakes we have here in CT.

Re: hard jerk baits!
It's one of those baits I dig out last but I allways catch fish in the early spring with them.

Re: hard jerk baits!
I've had good success on them all year. First of all, the 2 jerkbaits I use are Husky Jerks and now X-Raps. I ALWAYS have a jerkbait rigged on my rod all year around. In spring and fall, I fish them real slow (the advantage of suspending baits) In summer, I jerk the heck out of the rod to get reaction strikes and it is deadly.
Last early, early spring I caught 32 bass in a tournament on a #10 Glass minnow husky jerk...Even though only five of them were legal, it was still a blast and gave my a nice finish in the tourney. Catch em up Brian |

Re: hard jerk baits!
I agree, I use them in the colder months which is very many months in southern mississippi. I can't pass up the great top-water action in the summer

Re: hard jerk baits!
i have recently acquired(SP?)a jerk bait, thanks PNJ. it is the rapala floater in ghost minnow and its action in the water is great. i saw a commercial for the new jerkbait made by strike king that was designed by KVD, it looks very good.

Re: hard jerk baits!
would the new X-rap qualify as a suspending jerkbait.
