I've actually put away my flukes when largemouth are schooling. Instead, I'll throw a black/silver shadow rap 11. It seems to trigger the bigger fish (and the hookup ratio is much better). Recently, I made a cast and a 4.3 lb largemouth blew it up before I could even grab the reel handle.
One thing I have learned over 40yrs of jerkbait fishing is not to use those flimsy rods,I use a medium heavy. On a long cast those light rods will not snap the bait. Good deal man.
I have always hated glass rods. Always still use graphite rods for all applications. If you’re gonna use those lighter jerkbaits and crankbaits, gotta learn how to cast them.
@@castandchill if you can get someone in another boat a long cast away to watch your jerkbait when you jerk it you will see it moves very little with light rods with fast tips. Also line matters, a fluorocarbon with no stretch helps too.
The maverick redline hooks are trash. Ive actually never lost so many fish on trebles before. Lost a huge northern, thought i hit a log and then my rod tip started pulsing on it and popped off. Bunch of smallies threw that lure out also. Had a smallie bend a hook out also with loose drag
@@Wired2Fish maybe I should be jerking the bait harder since they seem to hit in between jerks. I'm also new to fishing jerkbaits so that's why I'm probably having troubles, I'm used to feeling the hit and then setting the hook
It's a great encouraging video. Good info to inspire some jerkbait fishing. 👍🐟

Another great video DC!
They catch everything. My Walleye loves em
One my favorite jerk baits that you're using. Matter of fact that particular jerk bait I have had better results not pausing in warmer water temps

Braid to leader gets it to react way better even on a long cast
@@billybooth3237 you are exactly right sir!
Jerkbait Season !!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
It’s never NOT jerkbait season
That maverick is actually really good I have 4 now 😂
Thanks for the tips!! Btw Should we allow FFS in bass tournaments?
😂😂😂😂😂
Video game fishing at its finest
The fish don't stand a chance.
I apologize for my ignorance; how far is a long cast? I fish from a kayak, 72 years old, short stature and short arms. Ty for any consideration.
He said a long cast in the video, that he made was 85-90' which would be 30 yards. Tight lines Dennis and God bless you!
@@Fishboy68 , thank you.
Got if fleeing bait fish retrieves.

Huh, never heard of this. Our experience with the hooks has been solid.
