bass wrangler569 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 So, what jerkbaits do you guys think are the best (not best value, best regardless of price) on the market. Quote
basser89 Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 I went with the Rogue since it's my top producing jerkbait. The XRap has a good action as well though. Quote
Super User Micro Posted October 20, 2008 Super User Posted October 20, 2008 I hear that the Megabass Vision is the bomb. But I'd take a LC Pointer any day. IMO, the LC Pointer is the best, readily available jerkbait on the market. I do like Rapalas, too. Quote
smallieking Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 i use the bereky frenzy jerkbait, rapala x rap, rogue, pointer and the x rap alot but here on the 3 rivers the rogue dominates, but most of the lakes around pittsburgh the x rap and pointer does the best but since i fish the 3 rivers alot i voted for the rogue plus its a little cheaper than the pointer Quote
skillet Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Voted X-Rap and do really like them but if Smithwick had better quality control would have voted different. I like the colors you can get in the Rogues but usually have to go thru a couple before I get one that suspends just right (obsessive compulsive disorder :-[)... skillet Quote
Super User 5bass Posted October 21, 2008 Super User Posted October 21, 2008 Pointer 100 DD = bass magnet Quote
gabes Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Lucky Craft pointer. Throws great in the wind. Quote
RandySBreth Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 XCaliber XS4 Never heard of it? Oh, well. A rogue that suspends perfectly, and has the weight transfer "long cast" thing going for it. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 21, 2008 Super User Posted October 21, 2008 My favorite class of lures are jerkbaits. Of the ones I use, I would rank them in this order: #1 All Pointers #2 Rapala X-Rap #3 Rapala Husky Jerk The Smithwick Rogue has been my #1 producer over the years, but they are not comparable to the three I listed. I still have a substantial collection that I never fish anymore. 8-) Quote
simplejoe Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I have some fishing time using the X Rap and caught fish with it. I never used anything else so I don't know whats a better producer for catching. Quote
Matt 825 Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Its tough to beat the Lucky Craft Pointers. They are fish catching machines. A close second and a very cheap alternative for me has been the Bass Pro shops jerkbaits. Those things catch plenty of fish and they are only like $4 and you can get them for $3 when they are on sale. Quote
adclem Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I like the x-Rap, but have never tried the Lucky Craft. Sounds like I might need to pick up a couple. Later, Quote
BigBrotherThunda Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 rogue and the unmentioned yo-zuri crystal minnow Quote
Bassboss Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 X-rap for sure! I've tried pointers and they're not bad, but the x-raps are still better, in my book! Quote
wisturkeyhunter Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 x-rap just cause its readily available and catches fish for me. If I fished them more I'd probably see what the japenese baits have to offer. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted October 21, 2008 Super User Posted October 21, 2008 Here on St. Clair, for some reason I have much more success with the X-Raps than the Pointers. Falcon Quote
guitarkid Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 I did not see the Husky Jerk on there so I voted for the next best thing, the X-Rap. -sm Quote
TrippyJai Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 i voted for the LC Pointer. nuff said. Quote
ptomacbass Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I don'y really fish hard jerkbaits but i have heard that the vission one ten is amazing. look on tackletour and search vision megabass. the only bad rating it got was in price. Quote
Super User cart7t Posted October 22, 2008 Super User Posted October 22, 2008 I fish Rogues X raps Husky Jerks Pointers each seems to have a place and time. Quote
