jazzy0017 Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Does anybody ever throw any sort of jerkbait in the fall around this time?? just curious... Quote
ks cranker Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 I start throwing them in late Oct and Nov for fun. Never really got any bigguns doing it in the fall though... (only largemouth were I fish) Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted September 27, 2010 Super User Posted September 27, 2010 I throw them year round with great success. Quote
Taylor Fishin 4 life Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Yes I throw them when the water starts to cool off 65 and under. These baits excel when the water is cold especialy a suspended jerkbait. Quote
WanderLust Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Yes I throw them when the water starts to cool off 65 and under. These baits excel when the water is cold especialy a suspended jerkbait. Same here: Husky jerk X-Rap Pointer Great bait for fall and spring. Quote
NateFollmer Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 Suspending jerkbaits and flukes are the best baits to use when the water gets around 60 degrees. The colder the water, the longer the pause between jerks. I have let them sit for 30 seconds between jerks before (this was right after the ice melted). I like the X-raps... Hands down the best jerkbaits out. The dressed trebles really help give it subtle action. Quote
brushhoggin Posted September 27, 2010 Posted September 27, 2010 i intend on building some confidence with jerkbaits this year. i've had some luck but not enough to fish them as regularly as my other fall lures Quote
Bigs Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I been hammering bass with a lucky craft pointer the last few days in a row. And Im fishing 80 degree water on Lake Anna. They arent just for cold water. Infact I was catching them on flukes all summer on the potomac river. Jerkbaits work all year long where I live. Pointers also cast great in the wind which is one of the best times to fish a jerkbait imo. Just make sure you use a rod with a soft tip, I broke off a 6 pounder tonite right when I tried to bring the fish in, I ended up pulling the treble hooks right out of her mouth. I almost pulled an Ike right then and there. Quote
Super User SoFlaBassAddict Posted September 28, 2010 Super User Posted September 28, 2010 Year round for me. Jerkbaits make a great Peacock lure. Doesn't hurt any that the Largemouth like them as well. Quote

The 100 & 128 are deadly pike lures year round as well. Water temps around these parts are low 60's ATM. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted September 28, 2010 Super User Posted September 28, 2010 WanderLust dont be telling them about lc 128's for pike. That's just not true! ;) Quote
WanderLust Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 WanderLust dont be telling them about lc 128's for pike. That's just not true! ;) LOL I may have got that idea from a Pike master on this board. Pointer is a well spent $15 in any size. Quote
Hawgin Posted September 28, 2010 Posted September 28, 2010 I really like, and recommend the X rap as well, but I've also found that when the water really gets cold (40 degrees or below) I have better success with a Husky Jerk. I think when the fish get really sluggish, the X rap might have to much action, and a husky jerk is a little "slower" and more subtle. Quote
I.rar Posted September 29, 2010 Posted September 29, 2010 Year round for me. Jerkbaits make a great Peacock lure. Doesn't hurt any that the Largemouth like them as well. what colors are you throwing? Quote
