These Soft Jerkbait Techniques Are Taking Over Bass Fishing!

I agree 100% I use all of those techniques and do produce a lot of fish big fish. Keep up the good work matt

wacky rig a small caffeine shad with a 1/16 oz weighted wacky jig hook.

I've been using the 3.5 inch lake fork swimming shad with my chatterbait for a while and it works like a charm also the Gary Yamamoto swimbait.i also use them on my swim jigs.

Matt, I put a Zoom Fluke on a 3/0 EWG Gama hook today and they killed it. Now, the conditions were right as a front was just about to pass through but, I definitely made the right choice! I Texas rig them weightlessly and, I go pretty far back into the bait with the hook point before bringing the point out and rotating. Going far back into the head makes the fluke sink horizontally and, I found that was what they wanted. Burying the hook point in only a little ways makes the fluke sink faster and with the nose down. With the water being shallow (3-6') I knew the horizontal presentation would be better. Cast it out, twitch the fluke maybe 2-3 times, let it sink, watch the line and hold on! They smashed it. The hit is just like with a hard jerkbait and, surprisingly, I didn't miss many. They really choked them! I'll have to give that drop shot presentation with a fluke a try! Good stuff.

I use the heck out of them. They do catch piles of fish but I’ve never had anything of decent size take a bite. Probably just because I’m not around big ones?

Hey Matt, how about a video on how you hook up your graphs with multiple scanners. Thank you. Tight lines.

My favorite at the moment is the Juggle minnow on the MiniMax chatterbait. Pinch the lil fork tail off and the tail of the soft plastic will keep perfect sync with the blade.

They skip really well… weightless Texas rig and then use it anytime/place that you would use a wacky rig.

For the wheeler used, me i use jackall i shad with jig head but i put on nose jig head rig like drop shot. I see that in this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWF6RX1towc&t=67s

Good stuff

The KVD Caffeine Shad has been a clear winner over the Yama D Shad, Zoom Fluke and 6th Sense Flush. Highly recommend!

Weightless and weighted jerk style, jig head-(weightless, weighted, and floating), weightless and weighted Texas rig, trailer on (chatterbait, spinnerbait, and buzzbait), hover rig, shakey head, swing head, tush swimbait head by core tackle, drop shot, sliding drop shot, maybe on a finesse jig or football jig or swim jig or flipping jig or finesse football jig or finesse swim jig, and maybe on scrounger jig head or on a scrounger head swim jig,

a lot of good baits are opening my eyes up to ultralight fishing. less weight, lighter lines. that's finesse, but tourny fishing is heavy weight, less finesse.

Mr.Stefan I would like to Thank You for the videos and 2 of the lake breakdowns we did. I'm off the zero catch rate got my 1st tournament bass legal length yesterday June 24 and the backed it up with my 2nd in a Sunday tournament. 2 things how the heck do we fish underpasses with rock running down length of roadway lots of snags. 2nd being only 5ft 10ft would a 6ft 6 in rod be good for pitching and flipping suggestion power. Possible video. ideas. Sorry for length. Go get em at next tournament.

How would you fish hover rigs in Florida with all the hydrilla, pads , floating vegetation when there not weedless . I see that the bait has a 90 degree hook . We used to call weightless fluke fishing ( dead fluking ). But the fluke was weedless . Fish ignored this technique after awhile.

You should start making a copy of the the old Phantom Phish Stik at Core tackle and send me some free packs for the idea😂 That’s the way it’s misspelled also. Not “Fish Stick”. It looks just like a soft Zera Spook and it was a killer. I can’t believe they went out of business. Phantom Tackle, was a local company out of Dallas Tx. They also made a killer ring worm. The Phish Stik is a soft subsurface spook. I still have a package of them. I’d send you some to mold if you’d make them.
