Jerkbait Tips For Early Fall Bass Fishing! (Easy Tricks To Get More Bites)

The early Fall transition is jerkbait time! Bass are beginning to focus on baitfish again and there may be no better bait to trigger a reaction strike than a jerkbait. Virtually any jerkbait can get bit right now but there are key baits and key colors that can lead to the kinds of days on the water we all dream about!

Its important to understand that no two jerkbaits are created equal. Different baits have different applications and learning to use each bait at its best time will help you catch more fish. As Matt eludes to in the video, color is everything this time of year. Do not be afraid to throw the aggressive, bold, even obnoxious colors. Bold colors can take a good day of fishing and make it unforgettable!

Below you'll find links to the baits and equipment Matt discussed in the video. We've included our best "Traditional" colors, as well as our best "Bold" colors for each bait. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
