Description

The Herky Jerky is an incredibly engineered 5″ long jerk bait that is neutrally buoyant on the stop. Twitch, twitch, pause, WHAMMO! This lure casts a mile since it has weights that load into the back of the lure when cast, and then roll to the center position in the water. The result is a bait that casts accurately, has great durability, but has that subtle perfection in the water. This one is sure to replace all the jerk baits in your box. Dives 3-4 feet on the retrieve.

Field Notes

Use this jerkbait around active bass when fish are responding to a twitch-and-pause retrieve. The neutral buoyancy on the pause makes it a good choice for cold fronts, clear water, and pressured fish, and it dives shallow on the retrieve for targeting the upper part of the water column.

Pros

  • Casts a long distance
  • Neutrally buoyant on the pause
  • Dives shallow for precise coverage

Cons

  • Only runs 3-4 feet deep
  • Can be less effective in heavy cover
