Underwater Jerkbait Footage! Viscious Bass Strikes During Bait Comparison!

Come underwater and compare the actions of 10 different jerkbaits! Watch how the lures move and watch as bass devour them in this amazing underwater footage! If you've ever wondered what your favorite jerkbaits look like underwater, this bass fishing video is for you!
In this video we're comparing some of the most popular jerkbaits on the market, but we're also looking at some new offerings. We've got One Rapala offering, four from Lucky Craft, one from Jackall, and four from Megabass. Pay attention to how each bait moves in the water. Does the bait move side to side? Does it roll and flash? Does it dive deeper on every rip or does it stay level?
Below you'll find links to every bait shown in the video (in order of appearance) as well as links to the rods, reels, upgraded hooks, and gear we used to film the video. Also to aid in your decision making we will point out that our personal favorites for various actions were;
-Best Flash: Jackall Rerange
-Most Consistent Action: Lucky Craft Flash Pointer
-Best Overall Action: Megabass Vision 110+1

Dude same here,when I'm throwing a jerk bait..RIP pause,RIP RIP pause...RIP pause

[@treytrey8214]

Me to brother. When I get a bite on swimbait its like drive that hooksett home, now reel reel reel reel boat flip!!!!! Picture time!!!!

[@1888CHAD8881]

These videos really show you techniques on fishing different lures. You couldn't get this without underwater footage. Awesome dude!

[@rlb3lkf]

Love the underwater videos! Makes me want to head out to the water!!!

[@andreoliverlaoutdoors290]

I love to see a split screen of y’all’s movement of the rod with the underwater footage, but you guys are great I love it!!

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

As a late arriver, late bloomer to this video, Kudos and ThankYou! I learned a lot. As a homespun lure producer I learned where the strikes were and which hooks they were on, hint hint. And I'm so glad I don't have to put that silly bill on my lip-less productions. Again this video was over the top for one who produces their own baits. Tight Lines.

[@troycote4503]

Holy sh.... That bass was sooo fast hitting that vision! I had to watch that 3 time's!!! Winter in New England. I love to dig in to these old videos

[@mikek3638]

Awesome video! Can’t believe I’m so late to this video. I’ve seen so many of your other ones. The mega bass + 1 seemed to jump almost with the erratic action.

[@boelofis8312]

Best fishing video on youtube. More please!

[@Unspoke]

That StaySee 90 looked phenomenal! Thank you for the footage. That’s my next jerkbait to get now.

[@bwoody6370]

Thank you, Matt! Those jerk bait videos were awesome to see and you do your videos so well!

[@jamesb9090]

One of your best videos yet, and I watch them all. Great job! My wife doesn’t understand why TW boxes keep getting delivered to the house. I might need intervention.

[@JH-ev7wn]

The megabass vision 110+1 has some great action

[@vishnugangadhar]

Superb video 👍👍👍👍

[@gtflyer]

Still would keep my L.C. baits as #1, although I agree, the Megabass +1 looked great, I may consider grabbing a couple of those..Great video as usual..

[@kioy102]

Do a video about fishing after a fall cold front. Damn the bite is tough right now.

[@kashs6743]

Agree

[@eriksaxerud]

Please do this style of under water video with the different brands of soft Jerk baits aka flukes for example reaction innovation,strike king and zoom it would be super cool to see the subtle differences between the different brands and you could also throw in the magnum options as well it would be cool to see sink rates and other things like subtle tail movements and stuff

[@Tom-ic7hw]

the second one jackal rerange 110 on on my way to take warehouse or bass pro to see if they still make them

[@Kaboom-fc9rr]

I know you have put them in past videos... But what colors do you typically like in your jerkbaits.

[@EasyModeFishing]

No hookset required

[@smalliehuntermatthubbard2539]

I tell ppl to watch you on you tube. That you are the jerk bait godfather. I think my favorite was the visions 110 +1. It was super erratic..

[@shtty17]

All I can say to the people who fish waters with toothy critters. Careful where you spend your money on jerkbaits. Those nice expensive baits can disappear quickly. Do I sound like I'm over it yet?

[@Huffy_10]

Hey Matt or Tim! Just throwing a suggestion out their. I think it would be helpful if you did an underwater video but also put another camera angle on yourself on the boat. And put the videos side by side and we can see what the different baits and lures do with different rod retrieves. Thanks so much for all you guys do we all appreciate it. Ive learned a ton and look forward to your guys videos. Thanks

[@TheLuke5853]

100%

[@TattooBlue602]

Yes please!! That's what every fishing video is missing!!

[@SJtoobsox]

@@TattooBlue602 yes!

And also have a drone shot overhead for cinematic shots, and also a professional voiceover artist to provide narration, thanks.

[@terrytheone4482]

Mega bass 110 +1 looked amazing

[@zachshott7833]

Good Morning Tactical Bassin Family! There's no way I'm able to pick a favorite jerkbait. They are my weakness......

[@solidrockoutdoors]

Would have like too seen the 6th sense provoke!

[@jeremyfarrow1166]

Agreed. Love 6th Sense!

[@derekh3439]

6th Sense Provoke is my choice. Caught a 4 pounder today on one. I've taken other fish including perch and even a bluegill about the same length as the bait.

[@rschreck876]

So weird. I have a 3600 full of Megabass jerkbaits but I wasn’t exactly impressed by the footage of them.

[@lucasteneyck8577]

Might as well give them to me

[@tbonilla6922]

I’ve had so much success with the Megabass Vision 110 series. Worth the money in my opinion. Yeah, that +1 version has crazy action. My son loves his gill colored tournament version of the Vision 110. Last spawning season, he was able to almost get every spawning bass he went after to viciously hit this thing, whenever it came too close to the bed. Hard rip, then at least a 2 count or more before the next twitch. Those bass went nuts when he did that! It’s as if they get seriously offended that any fish would have the “balls” to invade their territory so brazenly. There’s no better way to explain their reactions to this presentation. My son would probably scold me for giving away one of our secret baits during the spawn, lol.

[@arnemueller2112]

This is the most epic jerkbait presentation video in YT. Very, very well done and thanks for these amazing impressions!

[@sacpig6839]

Braid to flouro does all the 6th sense jerkbaits justice.

[@brandon87ize]

I see now why the Megabass is so popular!

[@brandon87ize]

I agree!

[@capitolbassfishing]

That footage is so cool 1 - demonstrates the action and how those fish take it...from the side almost always 2 - The PAUSE how crucial - Thanks!

[@nicksb3]

Oh man can't wait for the new jerkbait vids. Totally addicted to them here in the north country. Shadow rap/shadow rap shad anyone?

[@TheMrbluejay7]

Matt and Tim, are the buyers guides coming back this year? They’re so helpful please make them again!

[@jbjgibbons]

I reaction struck at that Ripstop. Hit my nose on the screen. 😂

[@drumandball]

I know this really has nothing to do with the video, but I had my best day of fishing EVER on Friday. I caught my first 20lb bag, which I know isn't crazy, but it is for me where I live (Central VA). The sad part about the day is that I lost a 7ish pounder and my buddy lost one between 8-10. We could have broken the dirty thirty together if we would have executed a little bit better. Thankfully, I was still able to catch three fish over 5 pounds in one day which is UNREAL for me. So pumped to have been in the right place at the right time. I've never seen the big girls come out to play all at once like that.

[@michaelwise5353]

Wow man congrats! What baits were you using?

[@bospence487]

Any day you catch 20 you did something special. Don’t matter where your at

[@drumandball]

@@michaelwise5353 I caught most of my fish on a jig with a zoom big salty chunk trailer. Green pumpkin with chartruese dye on the tips of the trailer. I also caught a few on a jackhammer chatterbait, and a few on a squarebill as well. My buddy caught some on the shakeyhead, brush-hog, and structure bug. They were biting darn near everything we put in front of them. It was incredible.

[@michaelwise5353]

@@drumandball wow thats cool, I have yet to have a day like that

[@kylepaine9752]

You guys are fishing geniuses. But I wonder, have you learned anything from teaching people techniques and what not? I know in school that if you teach a certain subject to another student, it will benefit you as well. Thanks for all the great videos!!!!

[@nyrusthomas8467]

Do you tie them lures directly to the line or use swivel so you can change them quickly or does the swivel change the lure to much.

[@luckybassturd7260]

I’m not sure what they do but I use the ‘ol Rapala loop knot on suspending jerk baits. It’s a harder knot to tie correctly but I think it adds better action. With braided line I put a drop of super glue on the knot & have gained more confidence in the knot. I have bent hooks straight with strippers & the loop knot still holds! With thicker mono the loop knot doesn’t work as well for me? Tight lines 🎣 ✌️🤟🤙

[@jayp.6166]

No one else does underwater footage like Matt and Tim. Easily the best fishing channel on KZbin.....and it's not even that close.

[@bobfishnut]

Thanks guys! Loved the Rerange and Megabas plus 1 for reason you mentioned. Great video and can't wait for the next you'll both do on each baits!

[@hunterseifert2497]

4:48 the bass was like no way then he acted like nooo then he took a 2nd look 😹

[@DavidWilliams-ic7sd]

Yes Matt and Tim I just wanted add my thoughts on this video and say thank you for the great work that you guys put into your entire channel. There is definitely love in the work that you do, instructing your followers with the aim of making us better so that we will love this sport as well.

[@fresnocascabel7571]

You guys never throw the Duo Realis jerkbait or their deep cranks. Why?

[@frankgutierrez2727]

Looking forward to the "how to" video. Thanks for all the awesome information!

[@FrequencyORD]

Lucky crafts pointer Sp tri-hook jerkbait is one of the biggest jerkbaits I’ve ever seen and my dad has caught multiple 8+ pounders on it, the color “northern yellow perch” hits hard in the Midwest Chicago region.

[@kylemayer8486]

I've started fishing nothing but the lucky craft lighting 98xr. It's nice not having to worry about losing a $25 bait.

[@onefastcoconut]

Same lures, same rod, but with 12 lb braid. And braid to floro I would love to see the difference.

[@dustinlittrell89]

Agreed, MB vision 110 +1 looked best. Another jerkbait I’ve also liked is the IMA flit. Good stuff here, never take that jerkbait off, tied on pretty much year round.

[@sammyalverson7770]

I'm just a pond fisherman in N.C. I just can't seem to catch anything much in open water with or w/o boat. My catch usually happens next to bank or around cover... Any suggestions? Although I can brag and say I've caught several over 5lbs. Best to date 10.3lbs. Thanks

[@Indyjeeplover]

In the first videos you can see how far the fish come to hit the bait. I used a 7” while musky fishing in Canada. Warm clear water. Did great. This had to take a lot of time and work to put together Thx. New subscriber here

[@richardmajewski4104]

Not much of a comparison unless you are just talking about one brand. I would have rather viewed a comparison of different manufactures by type, As much as I like the Megabass I can't afford them at their high price points when other brands catch fish for me. Additionally Megabass are not very forgiving on an errant cast and at $25.00 I won't put them in my tackle box. Just a personal choice.

[@zachshott7833]

Except there were 4 different brands.....

[@bobfishnut]

Try the 6th Sense Provoke 106 yet? More affordable and very effective baits.

[@kyleadams1215]

I bought the lucky craft lightning pointers 110 sp and I run down to max depth which is 7 foot maybe max and they float back to the top within 3 to 4 seconds on the pause, and they advertise them as a perfect suspending jerkbait, horseshit, and it's not just a defect on one bait, I bought 10 of them and everyones the same

[@Elyasib38]

As usual, very informative. Keepem coming

[@mikecrowley9773]

Awesome video as usual. Every time I watch the underwater footage it blows me away how much sound travels through the water. Did you guys tune these with heavier hooks? I noticed how some sit parallel to the surface and some were extremely nose down at rest. On the content...this is my favorite, combined action demonstration and catching.

[@bobfishnut]

Looks like they may have. Read the description by clicking the arrow next to video title and scroll down. Hook and ring upgrading are recommended in the description, but I'm uncertain if implementation was made for this video or not.

[@vishnugangadhar]

Dear can you make a video for lures catagrization depends on those lures can travel in water what depth, how can identified, major lures can shown in online mansion only suspended, this videos can usefull for bignners like me,

[@F14AB]

I don’t get all the rage over the 110 mega bass, they just don’t look that great. The jackall however, that was bad ass lol .

[@fishingwcp]

How do u even get that footage!🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ that’s rediculous awesome

[@justonemorecast]

I just got my order from tackle warehouse. I was wondering if there is a break-in period for the jackall rerange 110MR. The weight transfer system won't move. I have been shaking it in my hand and it won't budge, maybe I got a dud. I also got a MB vision 110+2, Evergreen FA 87, Shimano WD flash boost, Duo Reallis 100DR. I haven't had a chance to fish any of them yet, my first impressions comparing them out of the package, the shimano looks best. The flash boost and their spring-loaded weight transfer system are very impressive. It looks like it will be a fish catcher for sure.

[@tacticalbassin]

It's held in place by magnets, thus why you can't move it easily. Go cast it... its going to move and sound like you snapped the bait off. Once you get used to the sound the Jackall is a GREAT bait! 🤣

[@BassNBaseball]

That bass hitting that vision 110 was amazing!

I’ve had a lot of luck on the sixth sense provoke as well. Surprised it wasn’t in here.

[@MistaGrim]

lmao....the provoke is a vision 110 ripoff with 4 mm cut off the nose to name it "106"....

[@jimmylarge1148]

Stoney Lonsome amen. Dickweeds are abundant on KZbin aren’t they!

[@bobfishnut]

It's not easy to copy what MB has made and how it performs in. Provoke 106's are great, but they catch fish nicely. Each are good when fish are hungry. The MB is a more proven bait over time. Give it time and maybe it will catch up, if not, I will still buy a Provoke and use it because it works and is affordable, which ought to be the bottom line for us all. 4mm difference changes the way a bait functions and flash. Not copied at all really.

[@NyrusThomas]

I love it learning too really learn how to work a lure.

[@HookLife]

Interested to know what line you were throwing on? Some baits went nose up and some went nose down. If you were throwing mono leader I wonder if the nose up baits would be nose down or neutral on fluorocarbon??? Great vid guys

[@earlwilliams2889]

[@cgravey]

Have you tried the rapala ripstop

[@benjaminyang5872]

Awesome video. I'm a jerkbait junkie and I'm pretty happy my favorite JB wasnt listed ;). I love the Pointers, they were the first high end Jerkbaits I began fishing. They are amazing and will always be. Megabass 110s are spectacular and are a work of art but that thin bill, though designed to perfect the action is not durable, disappointing for a 25 dollar bait. But like you mentioned, all these Jerkbaits are excellent and excel in different situations. I've outfished a MB 110 user 5:1 with my favorite jerkbait but I've also been outfished by a Shadow Rap 3:1 later in the spring bite. Best advice is, buy them all 🤣🤣🤣

[@HBeretta]

Surprised you all passed up the Lucky Craft Lightning Pointer 110 SP....their best SP imo.

[@tdbass2968]

I'm surprised they liked the Rapala ripstop because it looked terrible and didn't come close to the quick stop action they are supposed to have. The small ones do have that stop action but the newer 12 size does not. Tactical Bassin always changes out the split rings and hooks so maybe that made it worse?

[@djdiemmehe1iumentertainmen749]

How long did it take you to lose each of these lures. I can't fish a jerk bait, even a floating jerk bait, without snagging up. I have sworn off anything other than a weedless system.
