Field Notes

A suspending jerkbait that dives quickly to about 8 feet and darts erratically when twitched. Best around clear to stained water when bass are keyed on baitfish, especially on pause-and-twitch retrieves.

Pros

  • Suspending action keeps it in the strike zone on pauses
  • Erratic side-to-side darting triggers reaction bites
  • Color options cover clear and colored water

Cons

  • Can be less effective in heavy vegetation
  • Requires cadence and pause control to fish well
