[iceintheveins]

What is your favorite largemouth jerkbait in 45 - 52 degrees of water?

pointer is hars to beat

Lucky Craft Pointer 100 or Ima Flit which runs a little deeper. Longbill jerkbaits like the Lucky Craft Staysee or Jackall DD Squirrel can be excellent options when the fish are deep and won't come up for the regular jerkbaits. I just picked up a few Roque Perfect 10's to try when the ice melts, looks like a promising bait for deeper water and because of the size has excellent big fish potential.

I don't understand?

Suspending limited eddition rouge. It's cheap. And it always catches bass and walleye

Xcalibur for me. Its been deadly last few years.

That temperature range I like the X-Rap, 42 - 45 I like the suspending Super Rogue, those would be the favorites but there are times I like the Pointer 100, and late November last year I was really impressed with the Storm Twitch Stick.

x 2 for the super rogue

I'm usually not one to buy the more expensive lures but the LC Pointer 100 is my choice of suspending jerks.

Pointer 78, 100

Megabass Vision 110 and q-go

Rogue

Jackall Squad Minnow

All are tools I treat equally effective in those temps based on different conditions.

I just purchased one of the new lucky strike and tried it the other day. I had to put some weight up front it would sit tail down. Have you had this problem to? Is this a good cold (35-40) water bait or should I stick to the rogues?

 I have not had that problem, were both the weight transfer balls "back up front"?  It will sit tail down after a cast until the first jerk pulls the nose down and the balls roll back to the front and sit in there little spot, then the bait suspends with a slight nose down angle, which is what I want. Every jerkbait with a weight transfer system I have ever had will do that. Of the three Jerkbaits I carry around the Lucky Strike gets the nod from ice out till high 40's, low 50ish water temps, then I move to a more aggressive jerkbait. Used to X-raps, this year it will be the SK KVD's. A real sleeper bait that I found works great is the Excailiber EEshad. Not many people talk about them, but I like them as an in-between type bait, not in as cold water as the STX, but not quite in turbo jerk mode yet like the X-rap. Plus I find it, for some reason, to attract a little bigger bite.

Husky Jerk, McStick, Excaliber and most recently Storm Twitch Stick.  I still have Bombers, Rogues and others that get tossed sometimes.
