Description

When the fishing gets tough give them “The Bird” with the Jenko “The Bird” Creature Bait. Molded with a heavily ribbed oval shaped body, the Jenko “The Bird” Creature Bait provides a thick platform for durability and rigging, while remaining soft enough for effective hook sets. The two large tails also feature a dimpled surface with winged tips, which creates a hard kicking action on the fall that bass can’t resist. The small side legs produce a very subtle secondary action as well, that move even while the bait is at rest to entice wary lure-shy bass into biting. Poured in multiple fish catching colors, the Jenko “The Bird” Creature Bait is super versatile and perfect for flipping, as trailer on your favorite jig, Texas-rigs, Carolina-rigs, and even shakey heads.

Field Notes

This is a soft creature bait for bass fishing, especially when fish are pressured or holding tight to cover. It works well on Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, shakey heads, or as a jig trailer, and the kicking tails make it effective on the fall around vegetation and other cover.

Pros

  • Versatile for multiple rigs
  • Subtle body action with aggressive tail kick
  • Good trailer or flipping bait

Cons

  • Noisy or bulky profile may be too much for ultra-clear or finicky fish
  • Soft tails can tear after repeated bites
