Description

Bigger is better! We've taken the beloved Smity classic jerk bait—one that's been around since the very beginning—and made it even better. This new, larger 10" jerk bait is designed for the adjustable lead weight kits (sold separately). It can be used with or without the screw-in lead weights. Our Smity jerk baits are proven to be top producers. They are great all-season baits with erratic action when jerked in two-foot movements to the side, making them ideal for working over weeds and cover. They effectively entice bites during non-peak times. This bait features premium 5/0 hooks (VMC 9626BZ), is 10" in length, and weighs approximately 6oz.

Field Notes

This is a large wooden jerkbait built for pike and musky, especially when fish are holding around weeds and cover. Work it with sharp two-foot jerks to make it dart erratically and trigger reaction strikes, including during slower non-peak periods. It can be fished with or without the optional screw-in lead weights to tune depth and sink rate.

Pros

  • Large profile for big predators
  • Erratic side-to-side action
  • Can be tuned with optional lead weights
  • Effective over weeds and cover

Cons

  • Requires an active jerkbait retrieve
  • Large size may be tiring to fish all day
  • Optional weights sold separately
