Super User senile1 Posted October 22, 2008 Super User Posted October 22, 2008 Pointer 100 DD = bass magnet I don't like to pick just one. It all depends on where and when you fish. I fish Rapala Husky Jerks and X-raps, Smithwick Rogues, and Lucky Craft Pointers and have some luck with all of them. But if I have to pick one, I agree with FBL. I seem to catch fish every time I use the 100 DD. Quote
Primus Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I throw a mix of jerkbaits from Rapala, Lucky Craft, Yozuri, Jackall etc. and they all seem to have their time as the hot jerbait. Two that haven't been mentioned but are very productive baits are the LC Flash Minnow (runs a little shallower than the Pointer which is some times a plus when the weeds are closer to the surface) and I've been very impressed with the one Ima Flit that I bought in the Ghost color (I definetly plan on picking up a few more this winter).

simplejoe Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I think we have a race between the pointer and the X rap. ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted October 23, 2008 Super User Posted October 23, 2008 I think we have a race between the pointer and the X rap. ;D Simple solution: Fish them both! I think the LC Pointer and Rapala Husky Jerk are the better choice most of the time, but when bass are very active and aggressive, the X-Rap is my weapon of choice. 8-) Quote
zbigbadaaron Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 husky jerks, x-raps, and bomber long a's Quote
BassFishingMachine Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I chose "other". I do best with Rapala Huskyjerks, luckycraft slender points are definetly #2 though for me. I pretty much fish a huskyjerk and when I can't get a hit on the huskyjerk I switch to the Lc slender which sometimes gets me a hit when the huskyjerk couldn't. Although I've had times where I switched from the Lc slender which wasn't getting bit, to the huskyjerk which proceeded to get me bit. So its been fairly balanced between the two. All in all though, the huskyjerk has caught me more fish so thats what the bait Im going with. I will say this though, in my opinion the Lc slender point has better action then the huskyjerk, but I find the slender point has a more aggressive action to it, while the huskyjerk has more of a "finesse" type of action. When I reach for a jerkbait its typically when the water is pretty cold, so maybe thats the reason Huskyjerks work better for me, because they're action is less aggressive, therefore the fish being unaggressive in these cold waters are hitting it. All I know is I've caught plenty of bass on huskyjerks ;D. Quote
Infidel. Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Husky Jerk followed by the Vision 110. How about the original Rapala Husky? Anyone still fishing those or are they just a collectors item now? I lost my last one five years ago. Quote
Olebiker Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 My favorite is one you don't see much anymore: Cotton Cordell's Redfin. It's an oldie but goodie that works better for me than anything I have tried. Quote
shorefisher Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Megabass Vision 110 -I like the Ito Natural color but I'm not sure they are still being produced. You can still find them though. Quote
Josh. Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I would go with lucky craft. They have always worked for me! 8-) Quote
