Fall Jerkbait Fishing! ( Beginner To Advanced - Full Seminar )

Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn! The jerk bait's ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category that few other lures achieve. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when an angler understands the subtle nuances of these incredible lures, and that's what we're teaching you today!
The speed of your retrieve cadence, lure color, lure depth, and many other factors impact your ability to catch jerkbait fish. This is a technique that can take your fishing to a whole new level, but it requires a strict attention to detail.
Below we're breaking out our favorite baits by category and style. We've included our favorite colors for each (subtle and bold) and also included our favorite rod and reel combos for the presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

😂 Sorry!!!

[@p38324]

@christophertrimble9965 I know what you mean, it's never ending with my tackle addiction too lol. I buy bait just to keep from looking through what I've already got,knowing i already have it.Oh well, it could be worse right? 🤣

[@p38324]

@tacticalbassin I love the bait videos but we need more content!

[@wambuka]

This is something i've experienced too even if i'm adapting all of this information on fishing norhern pike and perch since we don't have bass here at all. The greatest info has been on chatterbaits, spinnerbaits and skirted jigs whether them being pitching, flipping, swimming etc. considering trailers and use cases.

[@midwestfischerman]

These hour-plus deep dive seminars are truly awesome! As always, thank you, Matt and Tim, for all of your time and effort!!!🙏🏻 Your content is still the Gold Standard🥇 by which other KZbin fishing channels are judged, and frankly that's not fair to the other KZbin channels.🎣

I watched the jerkbait video you put out this time last year and it got me started down the wormhole, now there is no turning back 😂 it’s my favorite method to fish. You guys have opened up so many methods and tactics to fishing that I never utilized and I am forever grateful! Keep it coming!

Thank you Matt, for the several videos lately, these teaching videos are indispensable. I'm learning so much and trying to retain everything said. I haven't gotten the deep diving information from any channel, that matches what you bring to the table. Everything from how to work, rod selection and why, line selection and why, colors and sizes and why. All the "and why" is the extra boost I need to understand, so I can be more prepared under conditions.

[@mikek3638]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Saving this to watch tonight!! already liked the video cause I know it's going to be good!

[@Mitchell_North]

I went after the jerkbait video they made about a month ago, I did exactly what Matt said, I went a bought a 6’ 10’ Expride B and a Aldaberan MGL HG Along with all the vision 110’s he linked in the description and all the hook upgrades. I absolutely LOVE this new technique and having it in my arsenal! I’m ALL in on jerkbaiting now!!! I have been WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO EVER SINCE HE ANNOUNCED IT WAS COMING! IM SO EXCITED FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

[@kayakfishingforpredators9107]

Thats what Matt did to me also i bought a 6ft10 baitcaster and a few jb. First i had 5, then 10, soon i had 20......Now i got about 100 jb. And i changed the bc for a spinrod at the same length (Destroyer P5 Landsat). Another recommend jb is DUO REALIS 100(D)/110/120 im sure you like them as well 😊

[@woefman9467]

prolly one of your better detailed videos fish catches included as bonus 😮

[@15trucklt83]

I took your advice on a middle of the road ish combo. Got a curado rod and a curado dc with 12 lb sniper fc. I used p line on it last year. Had good results but didn’t stay dedicated to the learning curve. The action on the rod is perfect though. Stellar rod for the money.

[@tacticalbassin]

😂 Thanks for the support! This is why we do it 👍🏼

[@c.shoefish]

Great video Matt. I absolutely love jerkbait fishing, next to spinnerbaits, it's my favorite. My personal go to JB rod is a 6.9 M Heimdall from sixgillfishing. It's a jerkbait specific rod, not as light as that expride, but the balance is perfect, and the action is exactly as you described. I run through tons of line when fishing a jerkbait, and to save money, I use 10 lbs Trilene sensation copoly....it's been an excellent set up for me. Keep up the good work.

Oh man! I love jerkbaits and your annual big dive breakdown of your jerkbait video's Matt! If I could just jerkbait and crank all day long and keep catching them this would be the ultimate way for me to catch'em. I will be saving up for the Diawa Samarai hidden fluoro Matt and thanks for getting back to me so quickly the other day as it shows you and Tim care. Hopefully there will be some black Friday sales for fluoro up here in Ontario, Canada. I now have 2 boxes of shallow and deep diving jerkbaits and I think 4 or 5 boxes of cranks from squarebills to deep divers that go down 20 feet! I went down the rabbit hole and just love it! HAHA Thanks again guys!

Matt, in your role at Tactical Bassin you are walking right in your giftedness! You are not just one of the best bass anglers in the world but you’re ability to effectively break down complex topics is outstanding and I want to thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us. I do have one question, however: How is it possible that not even one Lucky Craft jerkbait made your list?

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you so much John! And that's a great question. Especially given the important role they've played for us historically. To this day my biggest jerkbait fish ever (a 12 lber) came on a pointer 100. Put simply, a TON of new baits have come to market and they're not messing around. The 100+1 Jr has completely eliminated a Staysee from my lineup... the same can be said for this new Zumverno vs the smaller pointers and flash pointers. Fish are constantly adapting and so are the lures. This new crop of baits is worth taking a look at if you haven't already.

[@yannickverrette9587]

[@phillamoore157]

Hands down the best jerkbait video I've ever seen. I'm a huge fan of his now, and will be combing his back catalog. I've never understood hook-changing on any bait (unless the original hooks break). So, I'll look forward to learning his take on that. I live in central Florida, so in our shallow water, vegetation-ridden lakes, I don't know how much this will apply. But, it's incredibly intriguing. I grew up in the Midwest, and never threw a jerkbait....ever. Then the boom hit after I moved to Florida, and now there's nowhere to really fish them! What an amazing video. It's just a shame that this sport has turned into an "elite" sport. $25-$25 per bait is beyond astonishing. And, that's saying nothing of the electronics being used (and their cost) today. That part of the industry is incredibly disheartening. But, I digress... thank you for sharing.

[@robfunke909]

Hey guys love the videos as always , as a northeast angler I don’t find myself throwing large jerkbaits neary as often as the smaller ones , that being said most of my jerkbaits are only worth throwing on spinning gear, I noticed you didn’t get to much into it besides naming some of the smaller baits you like which was of great help maybe cover some of the nuances & differences in how they’re fished &the differences in gear when throwing such a vast assortment of different sized baits

[@matthewirish5755]

So, I’m a sample size of one, but I would LOVE for you guys to do more on the water demos first and then dive into baits to use. I’m a tackle nerd/junkie so I’ll watch all of course lol.

What a great video... and I love cool weather fishing because it means jerkbait time! This entire video is a jerkbait master class... incredible job Matt! I also swap out hooks and attempt to tune my jerkbaits for the season; but I am curious if anyone else uses katsuage (outer barb) hooks on their jerkbaits? I don't have enough data (yet) but it 'feels' like it helps the hook up ratio when the bass slap that jerkbait. I'd also be interested in anyone's opinion about katsuage hooks in general. Again great video all the way through. (... and one day I'll treat myself to that Shimano Aldebaran!) 😀

[@marshmellow303]

We need the seminar on soft plastic jerk baits, the variance in hooks and weight, preferences in rod reel and line, also if you felt like dropping a few colors. Here on the tennessee River when the gizzard shad are getting busted I LOVE a 5in soft plastic jerk bait, or a ned rig 😅🤣

Greetings from the North East of England, enjoy your videos very much. We do not have bass in the UK, well not in freshwater. Can you please tell me the casting weights of the rods you recommend? We go by casting weight rather then rod action. Excellent videos, I have learned a lot from them, I adapt for mainly perch and pike as they are out main predator species.

Great video as always from the guys at TacticalBassin, but I have a few questions or perhaps a follow up request. The inclusion of soft plastic jerk baits and silent hard baits. I have noticed that sound does make a difference. I would assume that Megabass Visions would still be the recommendation and hopefully after watching this video I can actually get bit on one. I have spent a small fortune on these and have yet to catch a fish with them. I've actually had more luck with the Rapala Shadow Raps. The only down side to them is size. They are only 1 size. Now they have deeper running versions, but the baits are still large. They don't have a smaller version and the waters I fish just don't get very large shad. Another would be a video I watched with how you tie to a jerk bait. To add a split ring because tying directly to the bait reduces it's action. Now that might be a mood point, except I feel like all my Megabass and Reranges already have a split ring on them.

Im curious if you know about the megabass IxI shad. I like the tx variation. I've never seen you mention it. Besides the fact that it is crazy good at not snagging. It catches fish way more often than my ito vision 110. Best jerkbait I've used. The x80 td is cool, but it isn't hit nearly as often.

Just caught them yesterday on Wheeler in northern AL on a jackall rerange!

Definitely sounds like a nightmare. I would be blessed to fish with someone like you !!!! Can't even imagine how much an experience like that would benefit me.
