Description

Burt is the preferred jerkbait among anglers because he’s easy to use and effective day or night. The Burt™ is the original plastic jerk bait. The Shallow version, 9 inches long and weighing 2.14 ounces, is a unique jerkbait that has proven deadly year after year. It’s unique shape makes it easy to use. With a simple snap or pull on the rod tip, Burt™ gives an erratic down-and-to-the-side action that triggers fish. Available in both a shallow and weighted (3.05 ounces) model, this lure allows you to work effectively over submerged weed beds, no matter the depth, probing holes and pockets that other lures can’t penetrate. The Burt™ was invented by legendary angler Pete Mania as an improved jerkbait. The plastic construction coupled with the profile and hook locations resulted in a jerkbait that improved hooking percentages over conventional wood lures. 9″ Shallow Burt : 2.25 ounces 9″ Weighted Burt : 3.05 ounces * Product price varies based on Style / Size.

Field Notes

This is a classic jerkbait for covering water with snap-and-pause retrieves. The shallow model is good for working over submerged weed beds, probing holes and pockets where fish are holding, while the weighted version can reach a bit deeper. It is described as effective day or night and triggers strikes with an erratic down-and-to-the-side action.

  • Easy to use
  • Erratic action triggers reaction strikes
  • Available in shallow and weighted versions
