ReggieT Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Found some dirt cheap Lucky Craft Flash Pointer 115's - Ghost Minnow, Lightning Pointer 98XR's Bone Pro-Blue, and 1 BD Jerkbait BDJ-115 in Gizzard Shad. I've never used Jerkbaits that much. What do you guys know about these I've listed? What is your favorite Jerkbait? I fish a lot rip raps, tail-races of dams, and lakes/ponds. Where do you normally toss them? Quote
jakkbauer Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 toss em anywhere you are willing to do so! work it past any ambush points since it is a reaction bait. i like megabass 110's and variations of them (110+1, magnum, jr, and so on) 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted June 27, 2019 Super User Posted June 27, 2019 Mostly Megabass, Lucky Craft, & Strike King for me. A-Jay 5 Quote
thunderblack Posted June 27, 2019 Posted June 27, 2019 Nice find. Love all LC pointer and Megabass offerings. I have thrown dozens of different brands and styles and keep coming back to these brands and fish them 90% of the time I am on the water. Fish them anywhere! A-Jay - I'll give you $100 for the lot 2 2 Quote

Super User Log Catcher Posted June 28, 2019 Super User Posted June 28, 2019 I have several Lucky Craft pointers in various colors in the 78 and 100 size that do pretty good. I also use some Rapala Husky Jerks. 1 Quote

I have not ~ At 3/8 oz might be tough sledding getting that one through the 'breeze' I often contend with - especially early season. A-Jay Quote
thunderblack Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 I've tried the trick darter and its not my favorite. Its a nice looking bait but doesn't cast far or dive very deep. Sold them. Just bought an ito shiner since that is one I have not fished yet. Quote

A-Jay They're not too bad... They have a weight transfer system in them, so they're easier than, say, a Pointer 78. They definitely fish way above their weight. 1 Quote
Topwaterdog Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 I like 6th sense jerkbaits, I had a Strike Pro Inquisitor SP that I loved (until I lent it to a friend on a river trip and he cast it straight into a pine tree). The more it flicks out to the side and does loopty loops, the more I like it. Quote
Super User J._Bricker Posted June 30, 2019 Super User Posted June 30, 2019 Lucky Craft, Jackal, and Megabass. Not necessarily in that order cause I’ll let the fish decide... Quote
Shimano_1 Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Lucky craft, duo realis, rapala, rick clunn and kvd are all great jerkbaits. If I had to only carry one ot would be a rapala shadow rap 1 Quote

Super User Choporoz Posted July 2, 2019 Super User Posted July 2, 2019 Most of the time, I throw Megabass, Lucky Craft, Duo Realis and Rapalas. However, I have been pleasantly surprised by the Livetarget rainbow smelt. Not even sure where I got it, because I've always avoided the brand (thought the baitballl stuff was gimicky, so I put my nose in the air when I passed them in the aisle.) But I must have gotten one years ago in a LTB or MTB and it fishes every bit as well as anything else I use. And for the price, I will be getting more. Quote

Was wondering your thoughts on the regular cutter Quote
