You need to get down 10 ft.  What are you tying on?

I have 1 DD Husky Jerk and 1 Smithwick Perfect 10.  I think I'd probably be happy with those 2 but I have to see what others are popular.

[Bluebasser86]

Staysee 90 or Duo 100DR

LC 100 Deep Diver or SK KVD Deep Jerkbait.

Excalibur Fat Free Shad suspending.

Its not necessarily a twitch style jerkbait but it'll get down there and stay there.

I don't do much jerkbait fishing that deep but when I do I have 3 different ones. For a smaller profile I have an old discontinued Xcalibur XT3 DD, that is a killer bait so if you find any grab them. For a slightly larger profile I use the Deep Husky Jerk, and the last few seasons my main one has been the Perfect 10 Rogue.

Depends really on when and where I'm fishing...

When the conditions call for something with a smaller profile that can reach that depth, I'll go with a deep diving X-Rap, namely the XRD08.

Towards the fall I usually go with something in the J300D series, but have also seen success with X-Rap's in the XR10/12 family. I believe that the fish want a bigger meal after Labour Day, especially as the weather starts turning colder.

One thing that I didn't see mentioned so far in this thread which helps baits run a bit deeper is line size.  I always keep a ML action rod rigged with straight 6lbs fluro which works well in getting baits deeper provided the cover I'm fishing permits its use.  Generally a sparser weed edge or something with rocks present is the type of cover I'm talking about.

Cheers, hope that this helps.

Well, this is exactly why I don't have more than 2 right now.  I don't often get that far down, but I'm going to add a couple options this off season and keep them handy from now on.  I'm into a couple new lakes now that I think they may get used more.

The Stacee and the LC Pointer XD are your best options, and the Spro McRip is good too, but it's not really for an erratic, jerking action.

Staysee 90 ver.2... Phantom Chartreuse, Skeet's Magic, and Pearl Flake White..fished with 8 pound Sunline - Super FC Sniper. I haven't used the slow sinking version of the Lucky Craft Staysee Version 3 jerkbait.

[BobP]

Staysee V1 very slow rise,  V2 true suspend.  V3 very slow sink.  They're all good.

[Airman4754]

Pretty much everything you need has been said. I fish a floating jerk bait on a 1oz steel sinker sometimes. It fishes the same but keeps it down on bottom.

[AnthonyBarnaoBASS]

KVD deep jerk bait seems to do the job for me.

 

Plus its cheap
