Bassmaster Elite Hank Cherry Teaches You to Fish a Jerkbait in Fall
Learn how to fish a jerkbait in the fall with Hank Cherry and the Bassmooch HC130 jerkbait. Hank explains why a bigger jerkbait is one of the best fall bass fishing baits, and how it helps him catch bigger bass when everyone else is downsizing.
In this fall jerkbait fishing video, Hank breaks down the best jerkbait tips for fall bass: where to start fishing a jerkbait (riprap, brush piles, points, and docks), why he wants the sun high, and why he keeps his jerkbait retrieve moving instead of worrying about cadence. He also covers the best jerkbait colors for fall and how to adjust as the water gets colder, from opaque white and shad patterns to clearer colors. Bass are feeding on shad this time of year, and a big jerkbait that looks out of place is hard for them to ignore.
