Followed it up the next day with another 10 or so fish on it. Those two days gave me all the confidence I needed to throw it this summer, I'm excited to see what happens If you don't mind a quiet night of casting being interrupted it can be fun. D & M Custom Easy Roller with & without a clacker has been good to me. 1 Quote

Once you get proficient at it, you'll love it. When they're on a Jerkbait bite it can be so much fun. Also finesse Jerbaiting can save a slow day for sure. Quote

We truly could be fishing brothers and that's me being an Auburn man, and you a UGA man ? Quote

I'm by no means saying the D & M is the best but the plastic quad blade allows me to go very slow which I believe is crucial in giving bigger fish time to locate and hit. The Strike King Buzz Toad ain't bad. 2 Quote

Hook2Jaw Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I'm still waiting on the water to cool enough to get the jerkbait bite I had last year going, 53 degrees at my home lake isn't doing it. I'd really like some more 15-20 fish days on a rip bait. When the spring hits I hope to gain some confidence in a lipless crankbait. The spawn can buzz off, I get annoyed leaving a shakyhead in a light spot and waiting for a bite. The summer will see me cranking and throwing a jig. I'll try to crack on them again in the fall with the lipless. I hope to have some time to devote to a spinnerbait. So, baits to stay good at; jerkbaits, jigs, crankbaits. Baits to get good at; lipless crankbaits and spinnerbaits. 1 Quote
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted January 5, 2023 Super User Posted January 5, 2023 2022. I just realized I didnt throw a jig very often. I am gonna dust those off and throw them way more. I love me a jig bite. 1 Quote
Functional Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 2023 for me is going to be dedicated to learning the Jig better and Jerkbait. I've caught a handful on Jig but do better with T-rigs and shaky heads in general. Just really want to have more confidence in the Jig, I feel like it will produce bigger fish more consistently than the other 2. Jerkbait I've done well one with a double jointed floater skimming the surface. Really want to put in the effort this year to get the submerged bites to happen. 3 Quote
RHuff Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 I was getting skunked at Chickamauga late last spring and was getting frustrated so I finally said screw it I'm gonna throw finesse the rest of the trip and started catching a lot of numbers on a wacky rig including just missing one who's head looked to be the size of a gallon sized paint can..... After that I started fishing the wacky a lot around home and in a few tournaments and I probably caught more fish last year than I have ever caught including size and numbers. I bought a dedicated stick worm setup this year that I will have tied on year round from now on regardless of the body of water I fish... I grew that much confidence in it in a single year's time..... Quote
Super User Deleted account Posted January 5, 2023 Super User Posted January 5, 2023 I don't know the name of it, but it's the one where I tie on the lure they are biting and catch fish... 1 Quote
