Soft Jerkbait Tricks You Need To Try!
The Fluke is one of the best bass fishing lures of all time! You can fish a soft jerkbait quickly as a topwater, twitch it as a jerkbait, slow fish it like a weightless worm, and even Carolina rig it! The soft jerkbait's ability to adapt puts it in a category of its own, and it deserves to be in every angler's arsenal!
Most anglers fish a soft jerkbait but few realize its true potential. With a simple hook adjustment this bait can become a topwater or a subsurface bait. It can be Texas rigged in heavy cover, nose hooked in clear water, or be "donkey rigged" and fished around schooling fish. Most anglers use the Fluke, but few know how to keep fishing biting with simple adjustments.
Below you'll find links to the all the baits discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes, colors, and rigging components for each. We've also included some of our favorite soft jerkbait combos for the different rigging methods. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
