To eliminate backlashes , throw it on a spinning setup like they’re meant for. I mean ofc the heavier /deeper diving ones are are maybe more suitable for a light -medium baitcaster.. I found a 6’9-7’0( I like the 6’9 Medium Mach2 spinning combo…. Especially for the j100 or river anglers not throwing the 200-300 size… the 100 size has caught me 100s and 100s if 3-4, even a couple 5lb smallmouth in upstate NY. No not on the Great Lakes or st Lawrence or even finger lakes.. the best kept secret river in NY( Mohawk)

Tyler love the videos young man you have a new subscriber. One question for you bud. Are you throwing your jerk bait on a loop knot with the split ring on it or tying a cinch or palomar knot? I think this would be helpful for the action of the bait. Sorry if I missed that part

Absolutely not. I tie everything straight to the lure.

Nice, I caught a couple yesterday on a straight retrieve surprisingly.

[@ahanberry]

yo what's up Tyler I wish I could fish right now but I live in colorado so that sucks!

[@maxescamilla4597]

Good tips. Only thing I'll add is that you can also change how hard you rip the bait to correspond to the fishes mood. Sometimes a hard rip with a longer pause is key. Or soft rips with a shorter pause. Vary it until you get a response from the fish.

[@TylersReelFishing]

Definitely true!

[@michaelwatts3754]

True..generally depends on water temp and season..fall to winter, colder water, use softer rips, more of a bump and much much longer pauses

[@calebnolte2577]

Jerk baits have always been just foreign language to me being on ponds with the HUGE exception being the rapala original floating minnow. But I'd love to learn more about a bunch that I've ended up collecting over the years. Slow sinking, sinking, suspending, floating, and then how does that affect the depth they say the bait reaches? Is a sinking jerkbait going to act almost similar to a lip less crankbait? It's confusing to me and just seems so much more intricate than, say, a crank bait labeled 3-5 feet.

[@JonJonsOutdoors]

Thanks Tyler. I’ve used a ton of different jerbaits over the years, my dad swore by Rapala but I do think that by far my favorite is the Megabass Vision 110!! I just don’t know if anyone makes a better jerkbait anywhere. The colors like Northen Secret, Triple Illusion, and all their gill colors are insane!! I get you have to promote your sponsor so not saying the KVD/Strike King aren’t great. I just think it’d be remiss to talk jerbaits w out including them. They seem to make jerkbait art that bass just can’t resist! Love what you do bro jj

Growing up fishing local farm ponds my dad would slay! And always almost always outfish me with a Rapala f11 or f13 Original floater in the natural silver shad color. If I remember correctly I think he caught his personal best on a Rapala Original Silver. Goes to show you don't always need the fanciest of the fanciest jerkbait. Sometimes it better to just stick with a classic.

[@toddlester8063]

You don't always have to jerk down as you show. You can jerk parallel, or even up in order to control what depth you want to hit. The important thing is the cadence and jerking it on slack line.

I liked this video a lot, very informative. A tip I’d like to add is a slow gear ratio, like a 6:1 or a 7:1 at the very highest. Slack line is so important when throwing a jerk bait and with those ultra high speed reels, it’s too easy to mess up the action.

Man bro, just tell em the business. If you can't afford a nicer baitcaster for jerkbait, just save for a little longer and get a nice reel. It is very important to fishing effectively.
