Dypsis Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 So this year I really made an attempt, especially since late summer on, to improve and use jerkbaits more. I feel I have been moderately successful. I primarily use LC 78 & 100 and MB 110 & 110Jr. I also purchased some Yo-Zuri 3DB from a friends recommendation and a few Duo and Ima Flints. At the TW black Friday sale I bought a McStick 95 in Old Glory - great lipless bait color. But never hear/read to much about them. Anyone use them and if so how do they preform for you. They suspend well? Thanks! Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 14, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 14, 2015 They're great, but I prefer the 110 size. Good colors, sharp hooks, suspend well, great all around bait and a staple at most of the Ozark lakes. Norman flake and Spro blue are really popular, as is Cellmate, which is my personal favorite. 2 Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted December 14, 2015 Super User Posted December 14, 2015 Like Bluebasser86, I too prefer the 110 size and my favorite pattern is cell mate. The old glory is a pattern I don't have but if I did, it would be one I would reach for on an overcast day. 1 Quote

Why do you like the 110 more - better action, suspends better, quality of bites? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 14, 2015 Global Moderator Posted December 14, 2015 Why do you like the 110 more - better action, suspends better, quality of bites? I just prefer the larger size. Baitfish are typically larger that time of year. Quote
Hogsticker Posted December 14, 2015 Posted December 14, 2015 I'll go against the grain. I prefer the 95,but then again I prefer all my hardbaits on the smaller side. The baitfish I see are lucky to be pushing 3 inches. None the less, it's a staple in my jerk box, but the Yo Zuri 3DB minnow out fished it this season much to my surprise. Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted December 14, 2015 Super User Posted December 14, 2015 I like using the larger baits most of the time, the 4" to 4.5" seem to draw larger strikes for me but I do use smaller baits when the fish want smaller. The 3DB jerkbait is really nice, it is a smaller bait that fishes like a large bait and the lures in that series have all been great. I like the Pointer 78 and the size 8 X-Rap along with a few other smaller baits but they get thrown only after the large ones failed to work. Quote
