Soft Plastic Jerkbaits

[bassh8er]

Can anybody recommend any new soft plastic Jerkbaits?

I primarily use flukes and am looking for some new options. Has anybody tried the Castaic Jerky J? Or the Berekley Jerk shad?

Those are 2 new ones that I've noticed, any others?

Thanks guys.

Yamamoto D-shad, and the Strike King Caffine shad are good options. I like the Yamamoto the best of the two, and both better then the Super Fluke.

I like to throw the DarkStar Swimmer, it hasn't come out officially one their website (evolvebaits.com). You can get them from overstockbait.com. Trigger X makes some good soft plastic jerkbaits too.

I have tried others however I keep navigating back to Zoom flukes. I am positively sure there are other soft plastic jerkbaits that will work but Zoom is my confidence bait.

Not technically a jerkbait, but I think this might be what you are looking for: GYCB Kreature

I'm partial to the Lake Fork Tackle Live Magic Shad. Really more of a swimbait, but it works wekk fished like a jerkbait too. I rig it on a 3/0 - 5/0 swimbait hook, either lightly weighted or weightless.

Bass Assasin, my buddy uses them and he does well. I use the flukes myself. but the bass assasin has a couple different options on split tail or not in their standard plus, there is the twitch assasin, vapor and lil tap. and they also have different colors than zoom. He has done well on the redshad, and black with chart tip and bass with chart tip.

I like the Yamamoto D Shad, similar glide to a Super Fluke but it sinks faster.

I agree 100%

Besides some of the other baits mentioned I like the Gambler 6" flapp'n shad. A Florida bait company.

Just picked up the "new" zoom super fluke with a swimbait style tail. Should be a good option for fishing grass in Potomac.

Some times I go old-school and throw a 4 or 6 inch slug-go.

Zoom flukes, I use them for bass, snook, jacks, tarpon and just about anything else, simply because they are available anywhere, day or night. My catch rate is the same regardless of the brand. With the exception of a bucktail jig I can't think of anything that catches more and larger fish in any body of water than a fluke.

Optimum opti shad and double diamond.

[Bankbeater]

Flukes are about all that I use. I will use a slug-o when the wind picks up. I think that they are a little heavier.

I started throwing that berkley gulp shad back when they classified the chartruse pepper/white as a saltwater bait. I just knew it would work in fresh water and I TORE them up. They now classify it as freshwater and its still as good.

Hard to beat a Slug-Go.
