HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- You've been waiting for this one! Everything you need to know about jerkbaits, all in one place! We're covering everything from underwater footage of bait actions and bass strikes, to specifics on jerkbait retrieves, color, and bait selection. This is the most in-depth we've ever gone on the subject and you don't wan to miss it!
We love jerkbaits! Their ability to trigger a feed response in wary bass is remarkable and once mastered, is something you can use to consistently trigger bites from big bass. We're covering basics like how and when to throw a jerkbait, to how to adapt retrieves with water temperature, to how to replace hooks and properly balance a Megabass Vision 110.
Below you'll find links to all the baits and equipment discussed in the video. You'll also find information on related videos, color recommendations, hook upgrades, and budget gear. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Matt flexing on us with boxes of visions.
😂😂😂😂
I wish he'd do a tackle collection video. I'd bet it be 2 hrs long with edits lol
@@812FoodReview probably worth a dmall fortune with all the discontinued ones
@@assholebynature888 small?
🤣
Matt, I don't think any angler on YT explains jerkbait technique better than you and Tim. From someone who didn't grow up fishing and is self-taught, your videos are invaluable to me. Love the channel.
Agreed
That feeling when you get to start the day with a 55 minute TB video!
Mat, you give the best seminars. Your details are spot on. I’ve fished for 72 yrs., I’m 77 yrs. old very shortly. I have fished tournaments for 45-46 yrs. and have followed top fishermen RClunn, DBrouwer, KGB, and many other through the different eras. You are so dead on it is amazing to me, when I look back in my old tapes,and recordings ( R/R, 8 track, cassette, disc. and sponge) I here those guys saying many of the same thing, but with far less details and reasons why. I listened to several Pro Fishermen @ a B.A.S.S. Tournament standing around after day #1, talking. It was mentioned that RUclipsr had talked about a new bait that had just come out. Immediately another PF said what does he know….he’s RUclipsr! …I thought about that for a split second, and butted in on the conversation and said that’s a incorrect statement. There are many great fishermen, that haven’t the time due to owning a company, having a large family, I know even ONE that will never fish on the LORDS DAY ( in his words). And I would put him up against any of ya! He fish 4 -5 days a week and in
Tournament Lakes and I most every time know body comes close to him. He sold his company and is now training/teaching his grand kids how to really fish with full understanding (60 + yrs exp.) and they are 7-9…get ready to move over. My mouth sometimes when I hear 👂 a stupid statement I have to respond.
Mat, obviously you and others fit into my explanation. (Others just don’t want to direct their time and focus on one thing). That is what is required to fish PA’s tournaments and to be just average.
Great video dude. You are so informative. I don’t think anyone I can think so that does it better. The details you go to are so important and I’m saying this for your readers. It’s the little things that makes a great fisherman. You explain fishing 🎣 like you are in the middle of a retrieval of a bait. Thanks buddy.
These long format deep dives are the best, love going down the rabbit holes! Thanks for always taking us there
What an unbelievable video. You guys always give incredible information, but this one is an absolute killer. Thanks for everything you guys do.
This comment says it all. +1
I think I heard all you say. Then I listen 2 to 3 more times and see I missed some.
Appreciate you guys 👌
I could watch Matt talk about jerkbaits for hours. I never used to have any success with them. It turns out that I was using poor baits and the wrong action. I bought a few Vision 110s and started using Matt's retrieve. They are some of my favorite lures in the spring and fall now. Thanks Matt!
Try a Provoke as well. Cheaper than Megabass and they caught more double digits last year than any other Jerkbait. The Vision 110 is great though.
After 8 years of bass fishing I picked up a jerkbait and really spend an entire fall and winter learning the technique. It COMPLETELY revolutionized my fishing. Thanks TB!
Best bait ever created. I disagree with Fall and Winter being the time, spring is absolutely 🔥. Clear water, and a purple, chartreuse, even white color will get smoked.
@@andrewboyce7268 i suppose it depends where youre at. here in the deep south on river in spring youre not catching jack on a jerkabait. too much stain and debris in the water.
Wow, a true wealth of knowledge in this one ! I have to say, since the beginning, your guys' passion for not only fishing, but teaching has been unmatched. Thank you to the whole Tactical Bassin family for creating such a valuable resource, and quality entertainment as well.
The Mat colors tend to have a glow on cloudy days though that the GG's and so on don't! I think that glow draws em in.
That Table Rock color for switching up to bold can be amazing! I also love the Pearls as well.
I have the Jerkbait bug as bad as you Matt. I have over 100 just 110's and +1's. Then add in all the Jr's, X-80's, X-Nanahans, Ito Shiners etc and it's pretty ridiculous! This is where I really "nerd out" as you say...lol.
Jerk bait fishing has always been my Kryptonite! I made a concerted effort last year to get better at it. Rod, reel, lures, and yes…. Line. I am much better at the technique and don’t run from it as before. I’m actually looking forward to jerk bait fishing this year. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort Tactical Bassin has put into the videos on jerk bait fishing.
If you are struggling, slow down. Medium Heavy (or moderate), 7ft, 8 to 12lb fluro. Hell even put a cheaper reel on to force you to slow down. Jerkbait fishing is very easy once you learn the pause, I promise.
What happened to the lucky craft pointers?
finally caught my first jerk bait fish with this info! bit the bullet and invested in the vision 110 series and made all the difference
Thanks to videos like this, I caught an absolute pile of smallies and walleyes this morning on my new Expride rod. Best size to number ratio day I've ever had. I struggled for years before all of these in depth videos. Thanks for all you guys do
I’m pretty much done with expensive jerkbaits. I’ve caught more fish on a smithwick rogue than any other bait and it still produces.
The BEST way to eliminate 'line memory' is this: 1) Cut your lure off.
2) Put your boat in drive.
3) Let out all the coiled line behind the boat for ½ a mile or so.
4) Once it has stretched sufficiently, slowly reel it in while applying slight pressure with a leader straightener (you can use a proper fly fisherman's leather leader straightener, a soft, wet cloth, or just your wet fingers). This does several things for you. The warm, wet friction heats, cleans, stretches, and straightens the line, eliminating the memory and the need to respool. This saves you money and saves the environment. It works!
This 100% works 👍🏼 We do this as well IF we're over clean, deep water.
Jerk bait fishing has always had a special place in my heart first lure I ever used to catch 10 bass in a row on almost 30 years ago , in fact create my love for bass fishing! Love the in depth explanation and your minds of knowledge shared!
Only Matt can take an hour to "keep it simple." But I love it.
"It only takes 20 or 30 minutes to dial it in." Excellent point. That sums up bass fishing for me; you know within ½ an hour whether it's gonna happen or not. Not saying you can't win a tournament in the last ½ hour-I HAVE-but, generally speaking, you can gauge bass' activity level in the 1st ½hour.
This video is perfect timing. We've had some super aggressive bites lately & it's just fun to see the slack line rip across and pull your rod out of hand haha. Thankfully I ordered two more baits before this video because now everything will be out of stock 🤣.
No wonder I couldn’t sleep
😂😂 love my Friday morning videos!
It’s 3:30am on the west coast 😂
Matt, thanks so much man. That was the best in depth video on jerkbait fishing yet. So much useful info to increase my success.
Bro, my brain is blown away right now. I see why I haven't been getting bites now. Gonna go try this Sunday!
The most amazing thing in this video is that Matt lays out 20 lures with double treble hooks on his boat and none of them get stuck to the carpet.
These are the best type of videos!
Love the longer videos very informative
Matt, thanks again for introducing me to the Megabass Vision 110 jr in pro blue. I literally slayed the bass this evening using the Megabass Vision 110 jr in pro blue!
It was interesting to see the Fluoro coil underneath the water pulling the jerkbait through and not having the lure sit still, never knew that could happen 😮
Learnt something new today!
Absolute favorite fishing lure
Fall and winter jerkbait fishing is the best way to catch big speckled trout. Theu crush it on the pause.
You can reshape the bill with sand paper to keep it from diving too deep in shallow waters too.
I knew it was going to be a Matt video when I saw the thumbnail of a pile of baits! Great job and thank you both for the quality of content you continue to provide.
Would like to see you guys do a video together of your top five (or more) most versatile baits in which each of you touch on how your individual fishing styles vary for each bait.
Love the detail things I would have never thought about. Line coil etc
I got my PB smallie on a Jackell rerange beginning of the fall. I was slaying largemouth all summer though on the Rapala ripstop and shadow rap shad jerkbaits. You can get that shadow rap shad up shallow and work it above the grass. I've had them blow up on it like a top water. It's insane. Just got a few world minnows though. Can't wait to see how they workout next season.
You missed the hell of a chance Matt to promote real magic I wouldn't leave the house without a can of it in every tackle box God's gift to a fisherman
This is perfect timing. I am new to jerk bait fishing. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the video. My favorite is chartreuse/purple back. I don’t know what it is but man it crushes them in winter months.
Thank you Matt, absolutely FANTASTIC video, very informative and much appreciated by all!
Awesome video Matt, your always so entertaining to watch and thanks for all the great information.
I’m happy, Matt and Tim are on the east coast now . Get to see our waters highlighted. Wish they come to Massachusetts in the spring time . Cape cod , quabbin reservoir . Would be cool .
I love that black and chrome. When I seriously started getting into fishing I would always buy that color but in the rapala x rap line. Awesome color, caught so many pike and a couple over 34 inches
Here in michigan this time of year, the 110 +1jr and a lucky craft pointer 100 are the perfect 1-2 punch.
I have always struggled with jerkbait fishing but made myself fish them all year and spring to fall I’ve caught more fish this year than ever and some giants. I do think your missing one bait in this video though the Berkley stunna is the real deal I caught 300+ fish on one bait and replaced hooks when I lost anything. Over all great video I’ll be looking into adding some more baits and this will be a great reference
MAN! I've been waiting on this video. Love me some jerkbait fishing. Love it when you do anything on jerkbaits. Concur Shimano Expride 6'10' Med, with Assassin . I went out and bought the Megasbass Destroyer P5 Jerkbait One Ten for $500, but still use my Expride the most.
I really learn so much from your videos, awesome stuff...I'm really interested in getting better with a jerkbait
I don’t know about anyone else, but I changed some dulled up hooks on some of my OneTens and Jrs. I tried the Trapper #6 and #8 standard trebles and I am 100% satisfied. The floatation didn’t change and they hook everything. Someone else may have had a bad experience with them, but I’m just saying they worked very well for me. Need to keep some pliers handy with them. I’ve even put them on some of my cranks. Short shank EWG, standard and x heavy trebles. I ordered about 100 packs of different sizes. I like the dropshot and wacky hook to. I saw that a bad partner destroyed the company and TW has them on sale. CHEAP
Great explanation on these baits. Thank you for sharing 📹 👍
Picked up a rapala rip stop for my first jerk bait the other day. Went bank fishing on the river and landed a nice pike.
You're like a kid in a candy store and I'm here for it!!!!
I’ve had crazy good success with matte colors in the summer months. I really enjoyed the tips on more vs less flash in relation go the seasons and the levels activity in the fish, I can’t wait to test that theory.
You guys should check out the duo realis Rozante 63 for when bass are on tiny bait. It is 2.5 inches long and still has amazing action. I am able to throw it on my 6’10” expride with a shamino alderbaran. Great little jerk bait
My favorite bait to use by far. Big of a 110 junkie! Just missed a 7lb on one yesterday bcu drag was to light and she came up w her huge head and lost the pin when my drag slipped! Giant bass for my pond in OH!!
There is also the vision 110 FX and 110 R (the R is made to retrieve differently when cranking).
Feauture length! Lol This is awesome.
Hi Matt, great content! What happened to the Pointer 100? I’ve got a box of those and wondering when that’s useful
LC flash pointer 100 =summer money.
Yup! Ronin! 10lb sx1 to invisx , i like the seagar stretch with braid to leader on that rod, I feel like i get more versatility out of my 110’s with it
Love those Slim jacks!
Matt I have 2 Exprides 6'10" med. One has braid 30 lb.and 1 has 12 pounds sniper. I used the one with braid for a lot of other techniques. Am I all right to keep that braid on that 1 with a long enough leader Or should I change it out If I want to both for jerk bait fishing.. My water's not crystal clear.
Y'all are awesome!!! Thank you so much for the video!!
Love your stuff, but I'm skipping the $300 rod option for now and throwing the jerks on a medium spinning setup with a stiffer medium like a Veritas or a Fury and I'm beefing the hooks up to KVD triple grips and going braid to fluoro. Seems to work well. I also did not like KVD's Lews jerkbait casting rod, so I've switched over to the medium spinning rod until I venture back over to casting.
Great video as always Matt!!! What are your thoughts on the Berkley stunna jerkbait?
Thank you for the knowledge and awesome content as usual 👊😂
24:25 sold me on three baits. If they have it I gotta have it.
Awesome video thank you so much for all that information.
I seen that ripstop in there on the underwater! I like that bait!
I fish a jerkbait a ton. One huge suggestion I can give a starting JB angler is always hit the slack. Leave alot of slack and hit the bait at the end of the swing. Once you start getting bites you can dial in your system from there. If you can't get bit, you can't learn. Literally bounce the rod off of the bait...hit the slack and go back slack, no pulling at all!
Rods are important if you get into this, but I can catch a JB fish on many rods, crisp with some give is best, for bouncing off the bait, and keeping the fish on once hooked. Once again, you can't learn if you can't get bit...get bit first, then worry about them staying pinned the best and so on.
My favorite setup is an Orochi xx Jerkbait special with an Aldebaren and 10 lb Seagar Invizex. That is not necessary though, I was just proving my point to a buddy with a 20 yr old Curado and a No name generic rod with an X-80 trick darter the other day.
BTW, funny you show that Deadly Black Shad as one of your favorites. If I absolutely need to catch a walleye on a Jerkbait, that Deadly Black Shad is my go to. I use it in cloudy and clear sunny conditions as well.
Absolutely a great informative video
Love these vids!videos!! Good stuff bro 👍
Great video Matt. Thanks!!!!
The spots on that smallie are amazing.
Avid jerkbait enjoyer here as well Matt! I could have listened for another 55 minutes
Can u imagine what Matt's full tackle collection looks like 😆 mine only takes up 1 full room & I thought that was alot....I bet he had to rent a semi to haul just fishing tackle from Cali to Tennessee....ahhh yes, us lure junkies just can't get enough...think I'll go place an order 🤣
I used to hate throwing a jerkbait ‘cause I didn’t get it. Then one day I got 13 rat bass on 15 casts and I decided to dedicate some time to learn. The next year I built a dedicated jerkbait rod and caught two 8.5# toads on a clown colored 110jr. Now I have at least one tied on 12 months out of the year.
It's important to get a medium power moderate action rod. I use a medium power moderate action. The reason is for thin wire hooks an treble hooks. A rod with a parabolic bend is important to have to keep treble hooks an thin wire hooks pinned in fishes mouth. As far as retreave snap wrist back to where you started so a jerk bait will recieve the side to side action. Also you need to pause jerkbaits. In warmer weather 3 to 5 seconds. In the 5 seconds range or possibly more when it's really hot or cold.
Excellent. Thanks Matt
Another excellent video.
Loved the video. Very informative. Thanks, plan on trying jerkbaits in Mexico in November. Not sure how deep my bait needs to be so i will try a couple of depths.
Are yall as excited as I am about the jerkbait bite picking back up? Matt done got me fired up. I love when tacticals first jerkbait video comes out every year.
Great video Matt 💯 Thank you 👏
You guys always get me so excited to throw jerkbaits!
Awesome video Matt love watching ur videos…took me 4 years to catch my first bass I still remember myself when I was 6 years old fishing everyday after school for 4 years till I finally got my first one…being a little older now(15) love watching ur seminars…any tips for bass keyed in on dragonflies???? Would love to c a video talking about bug imitations
The video I’ve been waiting for 😊
I fish mostly ponds or small lakes here in Georgia. It is hard for me throw $20 on one lure with the potential of losing it. What jerk bait and color would you recommend for my situation? Loved the video by the way!
Check out the Megabass X Nanahan series for downsized jerkbaits. Same action as a 110, but only 75mm, and it comes in plus one and plus 2. Awesome little baits.
Great video, very useful
There's also the DUO REALIS cheaper but effective as well. Look it up you won't be disappointed.
This makes me happy!
For the rods, what kind of action are we looking for? See you posted the length and weight, but not the action. Fast, moderate, extra fast?
You guys should write a book on all this knowledge! It probably be taller than Mount Everest.
As a former jerk bait junkie, I have to say the rapala x-rap has “IT”, and not just for bass, and the mirrolure mirrodine was another favorite and simultaneously works super shallow or as a countdown bait because it’s lipless
Agreed about the xraps. Had a day on them earlier this year in northern MI. Was working it incredibly fast and the smallies were slamming it.
Big boss video!
Another small jerk bait is the trick dart 80 from Megabass and also mega bass has a saltwater 110 plus one that sinks
nice tips.... tight lines - Ben
Love the video. Would you recommend the Aldebaran BFS reel with my new Expride. And if so, can I use 10lb with it or go with braid with leader. Thank!
That world diver is the most frustrating bait I've fished. It absolutely HAMMERS them, yet it will foul itself mid cast somehow if you are working it hard. I hope they fix that. I'd also love it in a 3 hook bait.
I've got to pick up some of those damiki jerkbaits. Being a shallow river rat those baits are right my alley.
Dude you're not joking when you say you're totally jacked up on jerkbaits lol no question they are killer period!!!
The sickness is for real 😅 keep them coming
Took your advice never been a Shimano guy but decided on the slx mgl 70 and 6,10 slx rod and of course a box of new jerkbaits lol you and Tim cost us all alot of money but you guys are awesome
Awesome video. 👍
