You actually have the best fishing tutorials and informational videos out on youtube. I've watched so many videos all ready and now I'm excited to go out on the water. Thank you so much!
Bro your editing is so good! You really deserve a lot more subs! I've been watching your vids for about a year now. Keep doing what you're doing! Can't wait to see you reach 1,000,000 subs! Like the Bible says..."You will reap a harvest if you do not give up."
Tyler you are without a doubt the best teacher for me. When i type in what I'm looking for specifically I hit on the first couple that pop up then I find myself going to your channel. No matter what i'm trying to perfect you have something on it. And your teaching style fits me perfect. You are wise beyond your years buddy and just want to thank you for all you do for us. God bless you and your family
love my 6'10 Shimano SLX Medium action rod with lews classic pro reel. That combo works perfectly for jerk bait fishing and spool it up with a 12 pound mono.
Mannnnn I finally picked up my jerkbait after giving up and Saturday I caught sooo many large and smallmouth on it (and 2 fall fish), then Sunday I caught a 4.96 pounder on the jerkbait, easily one of my favorite lures now. I seriously wanna shake your hand for teaching me everything I know
I throw my poppers on a spinny reel, 3in Storm Chug bug-baby bass, and does great ! Med action, keeps them pinned, high landing percentage? I fished cvo-angler in FLW and angler used bait caster and out fished me big time, I tried it but you know that’s a bad time to learn a new technique in a tournament, it felt really weird! My brother n law was a pro and he threw a Zarro Spook on a spinner reel and caught the haddis out of them! Old habits hard to correct! I’m 69 yrs old, my muscles are already trained! LOL I do throw a buzzbait on baitcaster tho’. Great teaching job Tyler as always! Would like you to come up for air once in a while tho, so I can catch up ! lMAO! Keep the faith brother! Remember Jesus is the best fisherman I’ve fished with! 👍🥸🙏
Man,i really admire your knowledge! I am 65 and have recently started kayak fishing with my son.So keep doing what you are doing. Thanks for the time you put into these videos.Only thing i could ask is could you slow down some.
2 years later and your videos still tell me i don't know enough about Bass fishing. No use if having all the equipment but not enough knowledge. Thank you for your videos.
Jerk baits have always been just foreign language to me being on ponds with the HUGE exception being the rapala original floating minnow. But I'd love to learn more about a bunch that I've ended up collecting over the years. Slow sinking, sinking, suspending, floating, and then how does that affect the depth they say the bait reaches? Is a sinking jerkbait going to act almost similar to a lip less crankbait? It's confusing to me and just seems so much more intricate than, say, a crank bait labeled 3-5 feet.
I’ve been throwing my jerk baits on a ultra light 5’6 rod and 8 pound test and I’ve been using rapala rip stop 09 and man does the bass load up on it and to me that feel amazing
Do you suggest fluorocarbon or monofilament for bass fishing? If so, what pound of the line would you recommend? Also, I’m a very small lake and pond fisherman. Not anything too big for now.
@@TylersReelFishing I’ve searched for Tyler’s reelfishing Tokyo rig but couldn’t find you making any videos on it. Did you already made one and I just couldn’t find it or are you going to make one soon? Just wondering.
@@TylersReelFishing you and Alex Rudd helped me make the decision love everything about Lew’s and how they seem as a company to be with. I’m just a weekend angler but I like nice gear.
Thank you for this vid, I've been wanting to get on a jerkbait bite and this fired me up. I've been loving your videos!!! Thank you tyler and keep up the great work
No, the medium mod fast has more tip and less backbone but the MH fast has much less tip but more backbone. I would use the medium for moving baits and the MH for topwater and T-rigs and Jigs
Good tips. Only thing I'll add is that you can also change how hard you rip the bait to correspond to the fishes mood. Sometimes a hard rip with a longer pause is key. Or soft rips with a shorter pause. Vary it until you get a response from the fish.
Thanks Tyler. I’ve used a ton of different jerbaits over the years, my dad swore by Rapala but I do think that by far my favorite is the Megabass Vision 110!! I just don’t know if anyone makes a better jerkbait anywhere. The colors like Northen Secret, Triple Illusion, and all their gill colors are insane!! I get you have to promote your sponsor so not saying the KVD/Strike King aren’t great. I just think it’d be remiss to talk jerbaits w out including them. They seem to make jerkbait art that bass just can’t resist! Love what you do bro jj
Tyler I REALLY enjoy watching you here. I have learned alot and have used your techniques, THANK YOU they work! I wanted to ask you about the Grey Bibs you are wearing during this Jerkbait episode, who makes them? Thank you, Scott
Thank you for the positive words! Everything I wear is made by AFTCO! You can use code “TRF” to save 15% on your order! They make the best fishing clothes out there!
Up in the northeast I never go out without one on. Just change the pause and twitches. Thx Tyler, great video, I definitely tighten up my skills with a jerk bait. This is going to help .. do you have any video on how to walk top water lures? , I can walk a spook or a sexy dawg. But I have trouble with walking different frogs, maybe I'm not using a heavy enough rod. Using a mh. Low budget lol
I’m confused. I always thought if the bait dives below the surface then it’s a crank bait. I always thought a jerk bait was a surface plug. Please help me out.Thanks.
Sometimes with those cheaper made ones, the weight distribution can be off. There is also though, some that are made to be like that. I prefer mine to suspend nose down in the water
@@TylersReelFishing oh, that's sad! Come with me to Lake El Salto in México this June 2024. We catch and release an average of 280 bass per day, per person, including 9lbers!
Working a jerkbait on a semi-slack line takes some practice but it’s a super fun way to catch fish! Just posted a jerkbait video on my channel as well actually
Growing up fishing local farm ponds my dad would slay! And always almost always outfish me with a Rapala f11 or f13 Original floater in the natural silver shad color. If I remember correctly I think he caught his personal best on a Rapala Original Silver. Goes to show you don't always need the fanciest of the fanciest jerkbait. Sometimes it better to just stick with a classic.
Great tips thank you I wish I was able to get good gear so if you can show people like me that doesn't have the ability to bye the good or great gear the best low budget gear I really like lew's stuff
Bud i just noticed your wader and just carefull if you go overboard that will sink you to the bottom like a stone. Just looking out for you bro. Good videos keep it up!
Man bro, just tell em the business. If you can't afford a nicer baitcaster for jerkbait, just save for a little longer and get a nice reel. It is very important to fishing effectively. Otherwise you'll end up frustrated with fishing jerkbaits cause they're so light. Just save a little longer and do it right from the beginning
A lot of top pros have been preaching going to a spinning reel for jerkbaiting..I only do it for super light trout jerkbaits but I watched a couple videos on it.. interesting techniques
14:08 shadow looks like your fishing with an alien. I know what it is, but it’s still pretty funny 😂 Thx for the info. I feel like my jerk bait goes a little to deep. Thinking I just need a new one 😅
Tyler, Your last statement saying you don't need the electronics to catch fish on a jerk bait made me think... could you do a video of catching bass without using the live scope and side imaging? Some of us cant afford the high end electronics yet. thanks
I make videos like that all the time, and did for years and years before I bought Livescope. Look around the channel. I’ve been doing it for years. Also, nothing I said in the instructional portion relied on you as if the viewer having Livescope
Tyler love the videos young man you have a new subscriber. One question for you bud. Are you throwing your jerk bait on a loop knot with the split ring on it or tying a cinch or palomar knot? I think this would be helpful for the action of the bait. Sorry if I missed that part
I liked this video a lot, very informative. A tip I’d like to add is a slow gear ratio, like a 6:1 or a 7:1 at the very highest. Slack line is so important when throwing a jerk bait and with those ultra high speed reels, it’s too easy to mess up the action.
You don't always have to jerk down as you show. You can jerk parallel, or even up in order to control what depth you want to hit. The important thing is the cadence and jerking it on slack line.
i got sick of buying 20$ jerkbaits so i started buying my own jerkbait blanks, lure wraps, spit rings and treble hooks. outrageous out much money i've saved and these blanks are amazing. Wlure blanks from amazon and lure wraps from crankwraps.com.

I’ve started custom painting my own jerkbaits just so I can match the hatch locally. This video should be a must watch for all jerkbait guys and gals.
Thank you!
I have a Bass Pro, Pro Qualifier 2 for my light lures. Jerk baits and poppers. Throws light stuff great.
2 years later and your videos still tell me i don't know enough about Bass fishing.
No use if having all the equipment but not enough knowledge. Thank you for your videos.

Very informative. You do a nice job with the details. Thanks!!
Thanks Gary!
Who makes the box you are using? I'm looking for a jerkbait box that works well.
Tyler best gear ratio ? Would you go with 6:3 or 7:3 ? About to buy a rod combo
the megabass vision 110 in the french pearl is a bass buster. Its also 20.00 bucks though
Worth it . But yeah If you can’t quite stretch that then the rapala pxr of precision xtreme maverick or rip stop kick major butt
Awesome video Tyler! Thanks for the tips, can’t wait to get out in the water and try it out

It was edges and holes in grass! I’m glad my channel can help you learn! You’re gonna like it around here

Any suggestion on how to work the rod sitting in a kayak to get that side to side action from a jerkbait? Thanks for the videos!
Same exact thing that I’m doing. Being in a kayak shouldn’t affect your retrieve
Would a Medium mod fast be the same as a medium heavy fast?
No, the medium mod fast has more tip and less backbone but the MH fast has much less tip but more backbone. I would use the medium for moving baits and the MH for topwater and T-rigs and Jigs
went out today with a jerkbait and from the bank caught 4 bass in 4 cast while no other bait would work. crazy
Good tips. Only thing I'll add is that you can also change how hard you rip the bait to correspond to the fishes mood. Sometimes a hard rip with a longer pause is key. Or soft rips with a shorter pause. Vary it until you get a response from the fish.
Definitely true!
True..generally depends on water temp and season..fall to winter, colder water, use softer rips, more of a bump and much much longer pauses

@@johnnyp2155 depends on we’re you are in the country if post spawn absolutely spawn probbaly not as much you’ll still catch fish though
Great content. I fish jerkbaits but never had a clue what the proper technique was for doing it. Now at least I can present it the right way.
Glad I could help!
EVERYTIME I HAVE A QUESTION YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON IT 🔥🔥
Yo would a medium heavy baitcaster work for a jerkbait, or a medium action spinning rod
For sure, the medium action spinning rod, medium heavy bait caster might be a little too stiff
Very very good info,going to try out next time out
Is straight braid or a braid to fluorocarbon leader ok to throw a jerkbait on
I would recommend straight fluoro
Tyler. What make and model is your fish net?

yo what's up Tyler I wish I could fish right now but I live in colorado so that sucks!
What is the brand of the bait? I can only find ones with 2 hooks

Maybe that was originally the way the term was described, but not anymore. The words used in this video are exactly what the industry standard is
Hey buddy where did you get that badass net? I need one.. lol
Made by Yakima I believe
Hey Tyler! Would size, length, and depth capability matter in majority of lakes?
Just depth. Unless you are fishing a very small body of water, they will all share similar characteristics and fish movements
Who sells the net you are using? It has an offset handle with a forearm support.
Yakima I believe. Or maybe yak attack
Yak Attack sells it. $90. $80 at Amazon.
Hey I want to get a 2 piece rod and reel combo under 150$ what should I get or look for or make a vid luv u man
I just bought an H2O Xpress Jerkbait, and it floats tail down in the water. Is it supposed to do that?
Sometimes with those cheaper made ones, the weight distribution can be off. There is also though, some that are made to be like that. I prefer mine to suspend nose down in the water
I love the videos man do you have any tips on picking colors for lures?
Dirty water: dark and bright lures
Clear water: more natural greens and whites
