Why You Are Missing Out Not Fishing Deep Diving Jerkbaits

[@radsaves]

Hey Randy, when you’re fishing over the top of them does Belly color make a big difference?

[@davemonaco103]

I started jerk bait fishing for the first time this yr! I went down a huge mega bass rabbit hole and purchased many many 110 and the others in series. I feel like trying on a spinning rod might just help me get some extra use out of these baits. I have so many colors and type it’s Ridiculous 🤣

[@SpookyRedz]

I have to try the deep one dragging and pause after it gets down , I’ve always fished em the same way

[@richardroot7711]

Randy mentioned Orochi XX spinning rod “ Whipsnake ‘by Megabass rod for jerkbaits,but in the Megabass rod descriptions ,the ‘’Ronin ‘’is made more for jerkbaits .What’s/ why ? he likes the Whipsnake over the Ronin..? Length or action ??

[@chrismacdonell4070]

The whipsnake is a more finesse rod for lighter line. 6 to 8 pound test! Try looking up the oneten destoyer in the megabass line. I have one. Great rod.

[@wpgordone352]

Thanks so much, Randy for doing these videos on Fishing Jerkbaits ! I am really looking forward to studying the full series on this technique . I look forward to your videos everyday and really appreciate all the help and info you so graciously give to everyone . You have a Great Channel !

[@chadjackson4786]

how about a slow sink jerbait that you can count down to 25ft and go really deep for ledge bass

[@Curtisdog4life]

When the guy that helped design the 110 talks about jerkbaits, I listen. Thanks Randy

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Thx man

[@maxescamilla4597]

Randy, can you explain the difference between ripping and jerk baiting? Watched a Dave Rush video a long time ago that talked about ripping and he always used a baitcaster. Thank you!

[@bittabrutha31]

I can’t catch nothing on my Lucky craft deep diving jerkbaits! I’ll try the pull twitch one more time.

[@ryanvarner6520]

Thanks for the tip, Randy. Does this pull-twitch retrieve work best with the Megabass 110+1 as well?

[@bradleyrussell1973]

I just got my hands on some 110+2’s and I will say, those are the absolute baddest hooks in the industry!!!! I wish every treble I owned was that hook!!

[@joeys7519]

Love this jerkbait series, its become one of my favorite ways to fish.

[@The420Fisherman]

Something like to do with deep divers. I like to throw it up close to the bank, reel my line tight, then pull up on my rod like a jig. The erratic shallow dive has triggered strikes for me. Between bushes and laydowns on the banks.

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Catch a lot of trout on the same techniques you use for bass. Caught some large tiger trout on minnow lures but my favorite is a sinking shad Rapala.

[@Joelflowers513]

Do you use the Whipsnake for deep diving jerkbaits as well?

[@BassDudeFishn]

Great video Randy. Never really thought about fishing a deep water jerk bait.

[@brianpierson7708]

O hell no Randy you dun up and dun it now the only good bass fishing reservoir in Louisiana. with out of 1-10 spots and one of the best ways to fish that has to be a good solid 3

[@mikek3638]

If you use the regular ones on points and flats and the deep ones on steep banks, when do you use the Megabass +1s?

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Man this info is absolutely invaluable!! Really struggled with the Vision 110 +2 now this makes perfect sense. Will without a doubt be applying this technique to my winter time approach.

[@alanfrye2706]

I asked tactical bassin this same question earlier today. I fish jerkbaits on spinning gear. But I want to upgrade the combo to get the best action and sensitivity. I don't want $1000 combos but it I can get 2 rods that cover the gambit and hit 600-1000 for both I'm all in.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Man you can get a Shimano Stradic 3000 on a St. Croix BassX 7’ med/hvy-fast for less than $300! A $500 combo is VERY high-grade. $1000 combo and your paying for hype.

[@patrickhorn3067]

I still have and use my spoonbill rebels that we use to weight down with shot and tennis racket tape. We also weighted down rogues the same way for winter fishing!!

[@Walker82kg]

I only use spin rod for everything

[@pbrown52284]

Do you fish the +1 the same as +2 ?

[@chrismacdonell4070]

You are the best. Thank you. I am so looking forward to your next video! Big megabass jerk bait fan. Have alot of them. Something fun, try the floating megabass and fish it around lily pads. You can fish this around cover.

[@ChuckCooper]

Well if there's somebody who knows how to fish the 110 it's gotta be you. Thanks, I'll be pulling my dd's

[@guyb5333]

Thank you for the info. I really only ever fished the Rapala floating and sinking all different sizes. I may have to try the Mega Bass. But they're very expensive can you provide some information on colors you use a different water temperatures, water Clarity and four different types of fish in different seasons? Do you ever fish a seeking Rapala style bait? Can't wait to learn more about the techniques you're discussing

[@FishingWithDamon]

🔥 bassfishing is now probably one of my favourite species too fish I have been learning a couple tricks from your videos!

[@ryanbuckley3314]

Good one. Thanks Randy.

[@Whatsinanameanyway13]

Love this series & love jerkbait fishing. BTW, caught the biggest crappie of my life fishing a 110+1 last winter. Bunch of good bass too, a 6lb and a 4lb on back to back casts.

[@tylerallan741]

The jerkbait has always intriuged me! Thanks for the deep diving instructions. Here in Utah most of our lakes are deep and clear. Please keep the instructions coming! Thanks Randy!

[@arnemueller2112]

Very well done! Thanks for sharing your expertise. Anything you said was truly convincing!

[@kylemayer8486]

I was fishing 110 and jr plus 1's pounding shallow rocks for smallmouth yesterday. That was a hoot.

[@erk678]

Thanks for the video. I am planning on using your tips on jerkbaits to improve my wintertime fishing.👍

[@johnbowzer5447]

Very helpful videos on jerkbait fishing. My skill level has gone up tremendously. Still not use to a spinning rod but I’m giving it a shot through the rest of this winter.

[@ronniemitchell9221]

I feel like this is a great tip... I am gonna use your experience with this deep diving bait.. makes way more sense to pull this bait instead of jerking it in deep water.... I will definitely add this to my repertoire..!!!!

[@tomlavey2717]

Randy, do you recommend using the 110 fx to get longer casts with a baitcaster?

[@itllkeal]

Thanks

[@johnfontenot7861]

Are you serious! They left out the best part, the flat spin and his ejection 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@douglasehansen]

That pull and twitch is the juice randy! I've literally never heard anyone say that when talking about a jerkbait

[@shelbyz88]

Thanks for the video! Good info. I’ve always worked them the same way. No more

[@robertcooley6977]

Randy, do you find that the knot you tie makes a difference in how your lure responds? If so what is the knot you use?

[@myriammorrison9840]

Great video. Thank you for all your information 😎👍🏻

[@geraldbalciarjr651]

When using the deep diver are you using floricarben or braid with leader,

[@learningtofish7036]

Thanks Randy. Great fundamentals.

[@chundle09]

Man I know these tips will add to more fish this winter spring

[@SpookyRedz]

That made a ton of sense too , I have never done that with the deep one

[@deanmentjes7774]

Great video, thanks!

[@bobbymason3420]

Great info thanks Randy.

The angle of cast.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Randy, in the area of fishing. Outside of conventional tackle. One of the group of anglers (in fishing 'rivers' with current flows as opposed to lakes with shorelines, or saltwater environments with 'coast' lines). Who really developed this notion of angle of cast. Were the Scandinavian fly anglers. In the eighties and nineties. On a side note. On jerk bait fishing. I notice that in saltwater in Britain. There are a loyal and dedicated bunch of anglers there. Who do fish jerk baits. One of the things they will do. Is when they often 'snag' the jerkbait lures (which cost a lot of money). They simply snip their braided lines off. Tie the end to a rock. And later they walk along the coastline when the tide has receded. To retrieve the jerk bait lures again. By finding the lengths of braided line. The point though. Is that they're fishing these baits. Around a lot of cover. Not from a boat vantage point or anything. But from standing on rocks. Along the coastline.

[@academicmailbox7798]

In saltwater coastlines too. The sea weed grass there. Has a tendency to float up when the water submerges it (the actual seedweed has bubbles of air trapped in the vegetation, which gives it that buoyancy). So the anglers are trying to throw their baits. Down bits of laneways and such. That they can find. From the coastline side. Out into the on-coming tide. What they do actually. Is they walk the coast line when the tide is out. To come up with a strategy. Where they walk out to a certain point. And as the water rises around them. They retreat back towards dry land. Making a couple of pauses as they retreat (it's like an organized retreat from the tidal water). To throw the jerkbait far enough. Out into the on-coming saltwater. That's why they like. To walk these coastal environments. As they often do find features. On the bottom of the sea. That become exposed in low tide. That fish tend to hang around. As I said. Those guys do tend to snag up a lot of expensive baits. When doing this. And their strategy has been. To cut the lines and tie it up on a rock. So they can come back.

[@academicmailbox7798]

On the river and current flow side of things. The Scandinavian anglers in the eighties. They came across this type of fly. That was called a 'Sunray Shadow' fly. And I think it was a fly. That became very streamlined. And the objective of using it. Was to work it very fast through the water. Speed was the thing. What the anglers in Scandinavia learned to do. Was to cast a right angles. To the far river bank. And then they would allow a huge belly in their lines to form downstream. As the current pushed against it. And the Scandinavians allowed that to happen. On purpose. In fact. They encouraged it to happen. And as the belly formed in the line. The 'Sunray Shadow' fly. Was moved very quickly through the water. If one looks at a Sunray Shadow fly. It has very little front profile to it. Like the jerk bait lure in many ways. The Sunray Shadow had very little shape or profile. Looking from the front. Looking from the side. It had this very long and tapered profile to it. It could extend to several inches in length. If one wished. And in that respect. It wasn't not unlike the jerk bait lures either.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Many of us in the Britain Isles. Became aware of these lures. That the guys in more northern Europe had discovered. However, we never figured out how to fish them. And it never caught on. We didn't know how to do that thing. Of the perpendicular cast to the far bank. At least we didn't know how to do that. As far as sunken lures when. When it came to floating top water baits. We did it all the time. But the objective in that sense. Was to 'throw' the belly. Into the line. In the opposite direction. In the upstream. Not downstream direction. So that you got a perfect 'drag free' drift. Of the floating top water bait. As we used to do it. In the river situation. The Scandinavians were one of the first. In the river channel type of context. To change the angle of cast. Dramatically more upstream. With sunken baits. And flies. Than had ever been done before. And because in the rivers. The Scandinavians were able to cast in that perpendicular way. They were able to increase the size of the lure too. Because it was so stream-lined in shape. They could increase the size of the lure. And still make it move. At speed. Which was the key thing.

[@academicmailbox7798]

Another odd thing happened. With the Sunray Shadow fly too (and I think it's another thing that comes from jerk bait systems). Is the size and weight. Of treble hook on Sunray Shadow tube flies. Became really small too. Those of us who stuck with the older approach. Of throwing the fly. Far down stream (as you explain in lake shoreline fishing, almost parallel to the shoreline). In throwing our flies almost parallel to the 'river' shorelines. In the same direction as the current flow. We had to 'size' up. Our singles, double and treble hooks more. We had to add weight. To those hooks. It's the reason why. When you look at many salmon flies. You find the 'wire' on these hooks. Is incredibly strong. It's not because you need. Such a piece of tackle. To land migratory salmon etc. It's because of the way. The baits were fished. Downstream almost parallel. Or forty-five degrees across. At most. And you used the hook weight. To get some depth. The purpose of the downstream cast. In river channels. Is so the current flow. Exerts less pressure on the line. The current has less effect. On that kind of cast.
