From now thru the spawn. I've had fish on a bed that would not bite any type of soft plastic that would eat a suspending jerk bait readily.

I like a 6-8 medium rod with 15# Flo on a 7:1 reel. For the bait I like a ghost minnow color, something natural with translucent sides

KInda like this one

On sale now, I’ve had more luck with this jerkbait than any other I’ve tried- they are durable as well.

Where to fish the jerkbaits is my question. Maybe THE question, as most jerks don’t get down deeper than 8-10ft. Don’t we fish deep this time of year?

Collindave, I like to fish jerkbaits on windy days along creek channels that lead into spawning flats, preferably over or near grass.

When the sun comes out, they will get shallower next to dark structure. 7-8ft seems like the depth lately.

Megabass has the Vision 110, 110+1, and 110+2.

That being said you can go.out and catch fish in 1' of water right now. Even when it's colder. It's been a VERY mild fall and early winter as well. Not all fish go deep in winter.


My setup is usually:
Megabass Destroyer Destroyer P5 Oneten Special rod
Daiwa Tatula SV150H reel
Sunline Super Flourocarbon 10lb
Megabass Vision 110 variant based on conditions with mat shad being my color preference


I keep one tied on year round.

I catch more with a jerkbait on shallow flats that I do deep water

I fish with the following...yes this is going to sound like an informercial.

Daiwa Tatula Elite Patrick Walters 6' 10" M Jerk bait rod
Megabass 110 or 110 Jr (3-5')
Megabass 110 or 110 Jr +1 (6-8')


These have been the best producers during the fall / winter / early spring for me.

The MB 110+2 will hit 12' on 12# Flo. It's rare when you need one to go deeper than that even in 25' of water. Lost of the time the fish will be suspended next to trees about 10-12' down

I throw mine on a 7 foot medium heavy fast action rod with a 7:1 reel. 12 lb Sunline Sniper. I also stay away from all of those ridiculously overpriced jerkbaits. The Academy brand ones will work just as good at a fraction of the price. Check out the link below. My favorite color happens to be Threadfin Shad. Also, I have more luck fishing the suspending jerkbait in 10 feet of water, or less. The colder the water, the longer the pause should be. Good luck!
