Jerkbait Tricks For Winter Bass Fishing!



Not all jerkbaits are created equal! Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn for Winter bass fishing. The jerk bait’s ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category by itself. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when you slow it down and learn to hover it for long periods in cold water.

When it comes to cold water jerkbait fishing, it’s all about cadence and dive depth. It’s critical that you can get your bait down to the fish, then suspend it above them to draw a strike. We’re not looking for flash, sound, or aggressive movement… we’re focused on perfect suspension in the water column.

Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits for fishing the cold water months. We’ve also included our favorite replacement hooks for the Vision line of jerkbaits. Understand that you can size (up or down) to cause your bait to sink or float at different water temperatures, but the sizes we’ve linked are identical weight (and bouyancy) to the stock hooks.

  1. Great video…hey, not related to this video, at all. I was wondering if you guys have ever used McCoy fishing line? If so, what are your thoughts on it? I've tried a lot of lines out there and I just always find myself coming back to izorline xxx copolymer, but was curious about the McCoy. For me, flouro just isn't a necessity, and I'm on a tight budget so copolymer fits my wants and needs.

  2. I would love for y’all to do a updated underwater jerkbait video cause Whats the difference between the x nanahan vs the 110s? I’ve been looking at the x nanahan but the only difference I see is size and the +2 with it being smaller
