But that weight transfer is so loud during the cast. I unfortunately need to have my rods in a vertical rod holder and that sounds always makes me think the bait has hit a rod. I still toss the standard rerange because it catches fish, but don't think I will ever get used to the weight transfer sound on the cast.

I honestly only use 2 jerk baits but have tried half a dozen. My two are: rapala shadow rap shallow and Berkley cutter 90 shallow

Cabela’s Mean Eye “Walleye Series” - They don’t have the most detailed color selection, but they have the right colors and they flat work.

I know I am bumping an old thread but looking for cheaper jerkbaits and saw your post. I am located near St. Louis and trying to figure out what color for the lute in the picture. Since Basspro bought out Cabela's some things have changed, they still have the lures but maybe the colors have changed. I jnow your probably busy but if you could let me know which colors that you have had luck with that they still have I would appreciate it, I want to pick up some, thanks.

I’m a big fan of the Yo Zuri jerkbaits, work great, much cheaper.

The 3DB (and deep version) are really nice.

 

But for OP, i recently decided to get into nicer jerkbaits, and i went off the rails.

I bit the bullet and got a Vision 110 Jr, and 110 Jr +1 the other day for practically for the price of one, but before that i bought many jerkbaits on sale that even if i paid msrp it would still be cheaper than a Vision 110, however most of these i paid between $5-12 for as recently as this week.

Heres what i got and really like so far:

Jackal Rerange/Rerange MR

Lucky Craft Pointer 100

Lucky Craft Pointer 97

Duel Hardcore Minnow Flat SP 110, on sale at TW around $8. I got the Ghost Pro Blue one and its the nicest looking jerkbait, actually lure ive ever owned. The paint job is fantastic.

Berkley Stunna 112 (112+) is a thinner knockoff basically, works great and comes in some great colors too. On sale at Midway now for around $9.

6th Sense Provoke, comes in 2 sizes. Heard great reviews about the current ones (older ones sank like a rock) but havent got one yet since i missed out on the sale they had on them....

Strike King 300KVD (deep model available too), picked up many of these at the local shop for $5, love the colors on these as well. Heard the 200 size works great too, avoid the Elite version since the reviews arent great.

Rapala X-raps.

Rapala Ripstop/Ripstop Deep.

And if you can find any left for sale, the 13 Fishing Whipper Snapper.

Academy has a housebrand jerkbait that looks very similar shaped, and BPS has a few house branded ones too that are decent.
