Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques you can learn for bass fishing! The jerkbait’s ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category by itself. Today, Matt is covering the basics of jerkbait fishing for beginners, then taking a deep dive into bait concepts, actions, colors, and more! You don’t want to miss this!

If you want to take your jerkbait fishing to the next level, this information is what you’ve been waiting for. From bait angle to retrieve cadence, bait size to lure color, we’ve never shared jerk bait information like this before!

Below we’ve listed our favorite baits by category and style. We’ve included our favorite colors for each (subtle and bold) and also included our favorite rod and reel combos for the presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
