Great video, I will be coming back to this one many times until I get good at it, everyone say jerk bait fishing is great but they don't want to show how how to do it! Thanks!👍🎣
@@SonarFishing I use spinning and a horizontal jerking motion only pull the bait forward like it’s swimming. Not easy to get the side to side action when jerking the bait horizontally 1 foot above the water you’re standing in up to your thighs.
I have a few select spots around my local lake where I am high enough from the bank to twitch the rod downward. And those spots are deep enough to throw jerkbaits. I can't use that lure in my local urban creek because of all of the underwater hazards. It is a situational lure and technique. Closest lure to it would be the reel-n-stop of a Rapala Shad Rap or Cotton Cordell 14. You can get some suspend dots and make them suspend in winter.
Still trying to figure out how to fish a jerk bait. Learning so much from Matt Stefan and yourself. Hopefully one day I will get it! I do use spinning gear and 10# braid to 10# flouro.
Take the braid off and go with 8lb flouro on the spinning outfit. You will improve your bite and catch ratio greatly, I have caught numerous 5+ on 8lb line with my drag set properly and your jerk bait will have much better action vs braid to flouro.
I use the 7'1" spinning reel with braid to 8lb copoly for the lighter 2-hook JBs; baitcaster with 12lb fluorocarbon for heavier JB.
Great advice Miles thank you.Yes i enjoy.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hard to beat that smooth drag of a spinning reel, helps play the fish better with them lightwire sharp hooks

Why not use a fast action rod like everybody says to use?
Hey Miles thanks for the great video! What’s your mic setup? And do you use a gopro?
Thank you! I’ve made the switch over to the DJI Osmo Action 4 and am using the DJI Mic 2.
I fish out of a pedal kayak and like to troll around 1.5-2 MPH imparting the same action I would while casting. Works really well.
I like it!
You is right about jerk bait fishing got to be careful with your hands don't want to get no trouble hooks in your fingers
Thanks Miles!
No problem!
Do use FFS to locate the bass first ??
It’s certainly not a requirement, but it can be helpful.
good video, hope the baby girl is doing well
Thank you! She is doing good considering.
Love a jerk bait in colder weather. I use it on a spinning combo, braid to leader setup. Works well. Thanks Miles.
If you have confidence in it, it’s a good combo!
How do i snap my rod downward like that fishing from the bank or standing in knee high water with hip boots on? Jerk baits just don't work at my lake.
Actually, for your situation I would suggest a spinning setup so working the rod to the side would be easier.

Not a bad setup!
@SonarFishing, I’m in Ga and want to book you on Chick when your little princess is doing better, Y’all are on my prayer list.
Solid info. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Miles is the tip important
I’m not sure what you mean?
I hear Xtra fast tip for a jerk bait rod. To get good movement on the bait
I want to buy a rod just for a jerk bait fishing I'm thinking medium with extra fast tip
What depths do you fish a jerk bait?
That’s a great question! It really varies, but generally jerkbaits run around 3-5’ but can be fished over deep water too.
