Jerkbait Tricks For Winter Bass Fishing!
Not all jerkbaits are created equal! Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn for Winter bass fishing. The jerk bait's ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category by itself. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when you slow it down and learn to hover it for long periods in cold water.
When it comes to cold water jerkbait fishing, it's all about cadence and dive depth. It's critical that you can get your bait down to the fish, then suspend it above them to draw a strike. We're not looking for flash, sound, or aggressive movement... we're focused on perfect suspension in the water column.
Below you'll find links to our favorite baits for fishing the cold water months. We've also included our favorite replacement hooks for the Vision line of jerkbaits. Understand that you can size (up or down) to cause your bait to sink or float at different water temperatures, but the sizes we've linked are identical weight (and bouyancy) to the stock hooks.
