BUYER'S GUIDE: JERKBAITS - BEST BAITS, COLORS, AND GEAR!

Today's guide is dedicated to jerkbaits! These incredible lures draw a feed response from fish in a variety of conditions and today we're going to give you the knowledge you need to fish them throughout the year. From subtle cold water jerkbaits to flashy, agressive baits for Spring and Fall, we've got you covered with all the details. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned pro, this video will help you simplify your jerkbait selection. 

The jerkbait, also known as a rip bait, is an incredible fish catching design. The combination of aggressive movement followed by a suspended pause is more than most bass can resist! In the cooler months, a bait that will perfectly suspend is the key. As water temperatures drop its important to let the bait pause for long periods of time between jerks of the rod. In warmer temperatures the pauses are much shorter so balance becomes less important. 

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear discussed in the video. We've included our favorite sizes and colors for each. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
