We're fanatical about jerkbaits! They're one of the best baits ever made for triggering a feed response in a lethargic bass and we think that's worth getting excited about!

Tackle sickness...I've had this for the past 3-4 years....tested positive for Tackle-19...only symptoms are drooling, eye-popping at lures online....best illness I've ever had...Bomber Long A, aggressively jerked just below surface is killer in spring!

You make me giggle when you talk about the “sickness”. Also when you get thrown off by your surroundings. Sometimes we just can’t help ourselves...but I think that’s why your so good at what you do. Love you guys...Keep up the great work!

[@Rodneyperry-rp4pb]

I am new to fishing with the bait casters. I'm still learning, but I am getting a lot better. I think that they are the best teachers out there. I love you guys. Thanks.

[@MrSeanWesty]

I’m a pond guy converting into a lake guy (kayaker) and I love throwing flukes. So recently I started throwing jerkbaits. I think they are quickly becoming my new favorites.

[@todddickinson3262]

Nobody making better, more informative content than Matt and Tim! So appreciated guys!!

[@rockymountboy]

I'm impressed just by the fact that he's picking up and putting down, waving around, stroking, manipulating, grabbing on these baits with sharp hooks and not once hooks a finger.

[@nursenick06]

Hands down I have had the most consistent success with jerkbaits almost anywhere! I have started to pressure myself into covering more water faster lately just to break a bad habit of sitting in an unproductive spot for too long (I do that a LOT) and kinda pulled away from my trust jerkbaits in the process, but I think I’ll focus on refining my jerkbait fishing now through winter! One thing that I have used to make sure I have dead line in the winter is using braid with a fluoro leader (usually 4-6 feet leader at the max - no clear water here in souther Indiana, especially on the Ohio River), and that has eliminated the coiling effect. Plus ends up being a LOT cheaper just replacing leaders instead of an entire spool of fluoro because even the cheap fluoro gets expensive! Tie a good FG knot and you’re good to go!

[@Sassmk2]

Matt, your passion for fishing and tackle is just awesome to see! Makes me always want to get out on the water and just go fishing. Always! Thank you for all TB does for the fishing Community!

[@orangutanbeater1324]

Guys. Thank you! I can now replace the hooks on many 110’s hanging in my garage like Christmas tree ornaments. I’ve been buying them up every spring. This is the best and most comprehensive video on any kind of baits I’ve seen. I’m going to expand on what I carry with confidence now. I can lea e a box of jerks at home now. I carry these “just in case” jerks around with me. I never use them. I’ll give them to someone who is getting started in the sport. All good baits. Just not up my alley. I’m half ready for spring after getting a few of the rods you recommended in the Black Friday series. Keep up the awesome work both of you. I appreciate you. I haven’t watched a KZbin video in so long where I got up from my seat, grabbed a new pad of paper and started taking notes like I was back in college again. Lots of notes. 😅

We had better luck fishing through fall/winter than we do throughout the year. Anyways, he saw (last week) the expride in stock and has bought me one for my upcoming bday! So, thanks guys!!!!!

Not just bass. Any predatory fish. Trout (the big ones), pike, bass, etc. Awesome video!!! Love the jerkbait!! Had a 60+ fish other day and caught my first striped bass on the 110! Yesterday!!

THANKS MATT, I needed that. Love me some Jerkbait fishing, this summer I experimented with all sorts of jerkbaits beside the Vision 110, found some that work great in "warmer conditions."

I love that your so fanatic about Jerk baits. I used the link in the video you posted last year to make sure I purchased the exact hooks I needed to swap on my 110 silent because the stock hooks are worn out, and my favorite color in the 110 silent is out of stock.

I recently bought the Cashion 6’9 MH topwater/jerkbait rod, primarily for throwing a 110 jr on Chick/Nickajack, and it performs amazing. The way it loads up and absorbs those monster hits, while simultaneously being able to snag those subtle smacks is unbelievable.

Gotta thank you guys for this one here. I'm from Boston MA but moved to Tennessee to be with my girl friend. Anyways I been struggling to catch anything period cause the water and bait fish is so different, but Wednsday I caught a Skipjack Shad, was about 2ft long and fought great, because of this video. A shad colored floating jerk bait that I threw cause they were chasin balls of shad all morning and tried what you said in this video and BANG THERE IT IS! Keep doin what you do it helps a lot

[@jpvcwby]

THANK YOU, for the great descriptions. Jerkbait fishing is one of my favorites to do and I'm ALWAYS looking for that bite. Like you I've got way too many because I'm constantly wanting another way to excite the bass. Really looking forward to the fall bite to pick up in North Georgia

[@tacticalbassin]

We're happy to do it. Its good to meet a fellow jerkbait nut!

[@stpbasss3773]

You guys taught me everything I know about jerkbaits. I started fishing last fall and I didn't even know what a jerkbait was until I saw a guy catching fish one day when nobody could and he showed me his jerkbait. I tried using them but had no clue how to use them, put it this way I was so new I bought a super spook thinking it was a jerkbait lol. I watched your jerkbait videos and a year later the jerk is my confidence bait and I have caught tons over the past year with them. Thanks TB just wanted to let you know your videos really help people.

[@tacticalbassin]

Tactical Bassin #1, as always taking it to another level. As a person who loves the “why”, I do appreciate when you geek out and get technical. As a megabass fan boy, it annoys me to no end when people bash the 110 as having garbage hooks. It is my understanding, courtesy of the guys over at The Hook Up Tackle, that the vision 110 and those light wire out barb hooks they come with are designed to be fished on 8 pound florocarbon, with heavier line being the main culprit with those hooks bending out. I Gotta say though, mad props to you for taking the time on the gram scale finding suitable alternatives.

[@law1831]

Those megabass x nanahan things have been proving to be a kick ass little bait. I've been fishing them for a week now and I've popped smallmouth, largemouth, crappie, and northern pike on em. Sick little bait

[@fishingrelaunched4864]

Thanks for the specs on Jerkbaits and setups. They are the go to bait for pike in the Spring up north. I live in Canada and bass season doesn't even open 'til last weekend in June. So I'm fishing for pike through May and June and Jerkbaits are used primarily for pike in May when they are in shallower water. Having said that I end up catching a lot of smallmouth during those times even though not targeting them.

[@kirkblackadar7299]

Those pike here in the north are always a factor! I run a small steel leader most of the time for that reason. Here in zone 20 in Ont, we had a pre spawn bass season last year. Best bass fishing of my life probably

[@fishingrelaunched4864]

@@kirkblackadar7299 I fish out of Georgian Bay. When Pike fishing early in the year I'll hook up with super aggressive smallies (defending their nests I guess). So I get the best bass fishing that time of year. Unfortunately where I live they are still out of season during the pre spawn.

[@dant8213]

45 min video + 12 plano boxes = simplified...lol. love you guys and all the info is great. I really like the new zodias 6'10" medium ive been using for jerkbaits. They call it a mod/fast but its perfect...tho I haven't used the expride yet

Fish on the northern Mississippi river never throw jerkbaits cuz of all the grass. Bought a cupple reranges cuz of your videos had the best day ive ever had out their today!! Thanks! Solid advice

[@toddwinegar7365]

Yes sir Matt, the best 10$ a person can spend when getting into jerkbait fishing is a box of suspend strips or dot's, turn them all into fine tuned tools! That and a little bit of time you can turn a 4$ jerk bait into fish thrasher even in cold water, The key being put the time into tuning them. Also I use a 6ft 3in med light / xtra-fast Cadence CR7 spinning rod with the Cadence CS10 4000 spininng reel, braid to leader of course, and that is a pretty damn good jerking set up for under 200$. Great Dive as always thanks for all the juice.
