If you could only use 5 brands of suspending jerkbaits...

[mrbassky]

This is another hot bait this time of year.

For me..

Lucky Craft-my overall favorite these days and they offer several models in various sizes

Smithwick-the Rogue is the only old style jerkbait I still use

Xcalibur-I love thier little jerkbait it just catches fish for me

Megabass-expensive but very high quality, pros use these alot and dont talk about it

Jackall- :-X

[roadwarrior]

Lucky Craft Pointer 100 (Baby Bass) 

Rapala X-Rap XR08 (Glass Ghost).

Rapala Husky Jerk HJ10 (Chrome Blue/ Orange)

Megabass Ito 110 Vision (pick your favorite color)

Sebile Koolie Minnow (Chartreuse)

8-)

[Primus]

Here's my list...

Pointer 100

Megabass Trick Darter

Ima Flit

Rapala X Rap

Jackall Squad Minnow

Whatever colors you are confident, if I had to narrow down I'd probbly pick Ghost Minnow and a solid color like Chartreuse Shad or Baby Bass.

You need to try a staysee.

I use Matzuo sometimes, Dicks sporting goods sells them for 4 bux but they have been on sale for 3 bux lately. They catch fish about as good as a lucky craft pointer for me. I also have a dozen or so pointers but having lost a few over the winter, Im cautious about where I throw them now. Just cuz a lure costs 15-20 bux doesnt mean it's gonna catch way more fish.

For the money the Matzuo popper is a steal. It spits better than any popper for that price.

I cost doesnt equal better. All the cost means is it cost more to make. I try and get the best baits not the most expensive.

[Primus]

I can't comment on Matzuo poppers because I haven't used them but I tried some of their cranks a few years back and these were some of the worst cranks I've thrown. The ones I sampled wouldn't run straight and no it wasn't  a hunting action, couldn't even tune them. I'm glad to hear that not all their products are junk.

[Lucky Craft Man]

I would only need two brands, Lucky Craft and Megabass.

[SirSnookalot]

For freshwater I only need 1.  My favorite jerkbait over the last few years has outproduced every competitor combined.  It's only $2.99 and hard to find........Blaze minnow, their top lure is great too.  They are far from the most durable  but who cares if they catch fish.
