Pat Brown Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Stunna/Pointer/Rip Stop/Husky Jerk/hit stick/x rap/maverick/mcstick/provoke/rogue/KVD etc etc I've even caught fish on the cheap Amazon ones. Get some solder and some decent hooks and split rings and some 8-15 lb line and any of these work great. 1 Quote

From A-jays catches ive decided i would get into trying a jerkbait more since honestly i havent given them a chance. And just learned the way ive been fishing them is wrong (probably why nothing bites and i have 0 confidence in them). Ive decided i would dedicate 2 combos for just jerkbaits and force myself to fish them more. I already have the rods and reels but my journey of searching for jerkbaits has come to a huge amount of selections, sizes, colors, brands. To say its overwhelming would be an understatement. I know Megabass 110's are the standard for most guys, but at $20-25 each with more reviews than i like talking about needing work out of the box, sinking like a rock, and bills breaking i would like to try something different. Preferably much cheaper and more durable. 6th Sense Provoke Rapala: X-Rap/Deep, Originals, Husky Jerks, Shadow rap Shad Deep, Ripstop/Deep, PXR Maverik. Berkley: Stunna 110, 100+, 112, 112+. Jackal Rerange: 110, 110MR, 130. Strike King: KVDJ300, KVDJ300 Deep, KVD Elite 300. 13 Fishing: Whipper Snapper. Yo Zuri: 3DB, 3DB deep. Lucky Craft: Pointer Minnow 100. Duo Realis and Duel Hardcore too. These are the baits so far im looking at getting, i did some research on them and i think it would give me a decent starting point, with a wide range of sizes, depths, and shapes. Not sure if i should buy a few of each, or just go all in on a few of the above. Anyone have opinions or advice on which ones i should pass on? Or other brands/models that youve had success with? Prefer to keep it under $15, as i fish in alot of pickerel infested places. And im just as interested in getting advice on colors too! As the ones i have now are bright white, perch, or firetiger. And the bass really dont want them.... Not sure where you live in PA? I fish the Susky out of City Island and the Lucky Craft Pointer 78sp or 100sp have caught tons of fish. Chartuese shad and Ghost Minnow are the 2 must have colors to start. I tend to use the Pointer 100sp more in the Susky because the fish are bigger on average. Other inexpensive baits that work are suspending Rogues and Husky jerks. There is a fishing show at the Monahan Fire Station this weekend in Dillsburg. You can usually pick lures up cheap.

RB 77 Posted January 23 Posted January 23 My go-to before the Vision 110 was the LC Pointer 100 in Ghost Minnow. The thing flatout catches fish. Quote
