armesjr Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I caught this 20.5 inch, 5lber on a X-Rap slashbait. Its my new PB for '07 This is the first time i have fished suspending jerkbaits in the summer, i usually just use them in late winter/early spring. Has anyone else been using or having any luck fishing suspending jerkbaits this summer. Quote

Bryant. Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Nice fish man. Where you working that bait fast or slow when you caught that fish? Quote

Super User T-rig Posted July 10, 2007 Super User Posted July 10, 2007 Nice fatty! Congrats! Suspending jekbaits will work all year long under the right conditions. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted July 10, 2007 Super User Posted July 10, 2007 Nice fish. Great pic! Quote
armesjr Posted July 10, 2007 Author Posted July 10, 2007 I would reel it in fast about 3 turns, then just let it suspend for like 2 or 3 seconds. I think pretty much all my bites came when it was suspending. I dont really enjoy fishing them either. i just threw it out there on a random whim, because nothing else was really producing. Quote
Lightninrod Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Haven't gotten a bite on a suspending jerkbait in a month or so now but you did a great job! Beautiful BASS!!! Dan Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Great job! PBs are always lots of fun. A few days ago I caught a 23" (spawned out: 2lbs 8oz) pickerel on a X-rap. They are one of the best jerkbaits I've ever used and nicely priced too. Quote
Fish Chris Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Nice looking fish ! Congrats :-) But I have a feeling their's an even bigger one out there waiting for you. Go get her :-) Fish Quote
