This Is The Most Important Elemental In Jerkbait Fishing!

[@mikeharris130]

I took your advice on the jerk bait with a spinning rod and lighter line, I'm sold on using that technique.

[@papaduck2443]

Even your teasers offer so much quality content Randy! So glad you joined Fish the Moment! You are a legend in the world of pro fishing but I think you are also in your element with Fish the Moment. You and Jonny make a great team. Keep up the great work brother. God bless!

When I was looking for a Megabass rod to fish a jerkbait with probably 10yrs ago, the megabass USA rep put me in touch with Randy. I was dead set on a casting rod, but took Randy’s advice and picked up an Aaron Martens F3-610DGS. I was too scared to modify the fore grip as was suggested. However, It was a excellent choice in rod that I still use to this day. It’s great for jerkbaits, spy baits and really killer for shad raps. Great advice.

[@fishcacher7438]

Thanks so much for all the great content Randy. The way you explain things is so helpful. I have been in awe of your skill and feel for fishing ever since I saw you going under the bridge at Buggs Island years ago. The video you did on jig fishing was so detailed. I would love for you to discuss some other wintertime techniques such as blades, underspins, and scroungers.Thank you Sir!

[@davidthomas4476]

Awesome can’t wait for the seminar. Thanks

[@smallmouthaddiction8263]

Great Video Randy.... Loved it

[@jtomlinsonfishing1406]

Hope Hartwell is treating you well. I was going to say during our conversation that , this is Lake Hartwell and every day regardless is a grind here. I tell people if they can fish Hartwell, they can fish anywhere. Good luck this week Randy, I couldnt find time to go out today. You really have to think out of the box here in any situation or day I feel.

[@sidewaysrain7609]

My brackish/fresh water rig is lighter than that. 6 lb test (165 yards) 30 to 40 lb 2' mono leader depending on the situation spoolef on a 716 Penn reel and a 5-ft ugly stick. Perfect balance bought two identical rods and reels. Precision made, all metal except for one of drag of The two drag washers. I have not so much even had to even replaced a Bale spring fishing five days a week for 40 years! I have landed monster fish ex: 37-in native stripers 6 lb+ brown trouts, 25 lb Snook countless large and smallmouth bass on this rig. I agree any baitcaster says they can out cast me bring it and put their money where their mouth is! Unless it's the camera that reel of yours looks like the size of a medium saltwater reel? I get it if you're fishing for money and you need the security. Your generous in sharing your knowledge and experience. I see whatever works for best for you use it! Nowadays I am primarily a fly Fisher but still carry the pen rig with me in my backpack so I'm ready for any situation! -Peace

[@macking4942]

Great info! Hope to meet you during/weigh ins!! Good luck man.

[@johnnyberrios5062]

Megabass Jerkbaits are awesome 👌 and they are very effective. Unfortunately no one can convince me that they aren't taking advantage of the average Angler with those overwhelming prices.

[@allanhise4122]

100% agree on the spinning rod. I am a hardcore jerkbait fisherman and always catch crap from people for using a spinning rod. Thanks for this video!

[@bassfever4234]

Thanks again great info, good luck 👍

[@jpschrader5096]

Just watched the Buggs Island win from '89...awesome. Bob Cobb

[@thefishcommander2622]

Thanks a bunch for all your awesome videos. They are VERY helpful so keep it going! I would like to see a video or two on how to locate bass on unfamiliar AND familiar waters. Maybe go through your approach on how to figure out what the bass are doing when you practice for a tournament.

[@mcdrmtt]

Outstanding information here! Thank you randy.

[@josephhrnciar9376]

Good luck Randy!!!

[@drewskyfasho]

Good luck Randy!

[@papapfp2232]

Enough said!! ... Switching, siding on 45 years vs anything less!

[@ronknight6400]

Randy and Jonny,,,,,,,I took the first virtual Advanced Jerkbait seminar. Will this next one have that much more information to warrant the registration fee? The first one was outstanding.

[@treyferguson2965]

One thing I would mention is what type of hooks your using. If you buy a strike king jerkbait and your not one that changes your hooks, fishing that on a spinning rod medium action your gonna lose alot of fish. They come with heavier hooks then a megabass does. I change all my hooks to owners. The ones with the zowire. They're sharpest hooks there is. There small diameter light wire and penetrate easily. Those big hooks don't penetrate good enough on 8 or 10 pound test on a spinning rod. Kvd fishes big heavy hooks on his and uses a heavier action rod. I use a 6'8 medium heavy rod but it's more less medium. I use 10 pound line most of time. So my hooks work good. I'll also add if you're using fluro and you make a cast to where you can see your bait, and you start working it, notice that bait is not moving the way you picture it moving, in relation to how your working it. With a medium action rod that bait is barely moving. With braid to leader it moves little better, but what makes it move the way you think it is,is a heavier action rod. Good video

[@ralo4265]

Good stuff Randy! 💯

[@danscholes9132]

Best of luck in the tournament! 👍

[@toddsmith3418]

Good luck Randy

[@herbsteiner1013]

I wish you great success tomorrow!!!

[@martinallison8719]

I enjoy fishing jerkbaits, and just like you I fish them on spinning gear and never go above 8 lb test, and always tie them on with a good loop knot. Looking forward to checking in on BASStrak from time to time to see how you are doing on Hartwell!

[@bobtherrell2007]

Good luck from southeast Missouri!!!

[@mikewallis8999]

Best of luck 👍🏻🎣🍀

[@kevinhoman2600]

Good luck from the Lake of the Ozarks, man I hope you find’em

[@matthewpriestley7202]

Wow, this blew my mind. Seems logical to have a spinning rod as an option for Jerkbaits, especially when the wind blows but the Whipsnake ? Its a light Extra Fast drop shot rod. I appreciate you covered it but would love to hear more about how the power and taper of that rod combine along with the action you impart that make it the dream set up for you

[@darrinweller5117]

Would like your opinion on the tokyo rig! Is there anything to it.

[@bamadondon0495]

Why do pple hate on u because your smart and speak the truth?

[@clintskala26]

Good info Randy I have the orochi Ronin and love it for jerk bait fishing. I thought it was interesting you use the whip snake I thought the extra fast action maybe to tippy for a jerk bait.

[@gfour20]

Will you be mapping lake sardis or McGee creek Reservoir in Oklahoma?

[@jasonjenkyns5083]

How much of a difference does spool diameter make when casting, really? Like a few extra feet? A significant percentage?

[@AdamSmith-hd5vi]

Great content!!

[@Sta6kA]

Hey, what about using thin braid line? you get the advantage of going deep, yet you wont compromise line strength that mutch

[@Larry77777]

Hey Randy: Your 6'11" spinning rod for jerkbaits: I understand it is medium power, but for the action (tip) is it M? F? or XF?

[@HanSoloxcs]

I too would like to know this :)

[@johncoopes1056]

Good stuff, but isn’t the Whipsnake a Light action rod ? Or are you using the Jerkbait special rod that is Medium action ?

[@shawnmccallion5436]

Hi Randy, Would you choose the Whipsnake over the Ronin Spinning rod for Vision 110 jerkbait fishing?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

The tip is a bit softer

[@BryanJSmith-ne4kv]

Are you doing 6 to 8# straight fluorocarbon line or is that a braid to fluorocarbon set up

[@ikashibimauler]

I'll stand behind you with 6# braid with a mono leader and outcast you by 20 feet too :) FG knot put the topic to bed for me. Thanks for the great content.

[@geezersbassin2567]

I love jerkbait fishing and have considered purchasing the Orochi XX Ronin. I'm curious as to why you prefer the Whipsnake over the Ronin which is a bit shorter, shorter butt length, and softer action according to the specs?

[@mayze09]

great stuff Randy, quick question.... is there a time / scenario where you use braid to fluoro leader on your spinning set up when fishing a jerkbait? I imagine you lose a little line stretch and have a higher risk of pulling the bait away from the fish, but would that possibly increase casting distance and as a result increase the amount of time the bait is in the prime strike zone AND would that possibly create a scenario where the action of the jerkbait more accurately matches rod snaps? (hopefully I worded that clear enough)

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

I always use strictly Flouro...6 or 8 pound test mainly

[@paulkimble6223]

When you are throwing it on 20 lb line what length and action casting rod are you using?

[@lipsnatcher7483]

Have you tried running a long leader of the fluro to braid or just always straight fluro only?

[@ikashibimauler]

If you use light braid like 6 or 8lb you will outcast all fluoro by probably 20% as well.

[@wayneyelton7145]

Mbrfaid to flop leader 8ft leader

[@lightlinefishing9179]

What's your line of choice. Meaning brand for 6lb

[@robertveith2255]

I have agree a spinning rod is the best for jerk bait fishing

[@michaelmccollumfishing6726]

Do you do braid to fluorocarbon on your jerkbait? Or is your whole reel spooled with fluorocarbon?

[@randyblaukatintuitive]

Michael McCollum Fishing straight flouro

[@brintlang2124]

Good luck from one Joplin boy to another!

[@mikewallis8999]

Green Pond?

[@jtomlinsonfishing1406]

The jerk bait bite is awesome here in the winter months.

[@murphroberts4891]

Don Doty first showed me jerkbait fishing on Lake Meade in about '88.

[@robertveith2255]

Itoo use a 3000 size reel a Daiwa

[@markhogquist2000]

A fishing rod blank doesn't know if it's supposed to be a spinning rod or a casting rod. Medium is the power, not the action. Maybe you mean medium in the sense that the tip section has a slow, or medium slow action? Also, casting a jerkbait weighing between a quarter ounce and 3/4 oz on a spinning rod equates to longer casts is debatable.

[@boneyfreak9197]

oooo

[@williamjenkins3720]

Whipsnake? It’s not Medium it’s Medium Light! Love the content but I and many others feel like this rod recommendation is for a Ronin instead 🤷‍♂️

[@vrt1032]

It would nice if you responded to some comments, even if you just liked the post You not doing so is a HUGE turn off, I'm ready to unsubscribe because you don't And I've been here since the very start. Every successful channel engages with its subscribers in some form until they get to big to do so, I follow one that still engages and it just hit 300K! This is my first and last post, you simply don't answer anyone's question so why bother when other channels do. Makes a huge difference
