Fall Jerkbait Fishing! ( Beginner To Advanced – Full Seminar )

Jerkbait fishing is one of the best techniques an angler can learn! The jerk bait's ability to trigger a feed response in a bass puts it in a category that few other lures achieve. However, the true potential of a jerkbait is only unlocked when an angler understands the subtle nuances of these incredible lures, and that's what we're teaching you today!

The speed of your retrieve cadence, lure color, lure depth, and many other factors impact your ability to catch jerkbait fish. This is a technique that can take your fishing to a whole new level, but it requires a strict attention to detail.

Below we're breaking out our favorite baits by category and style. We've included our favorite colors for each (subtle and bold) and also included our favorite rod and reel combos for the presentation. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Jerkbait Tips For Early Fall! (Tricks To Get More Bites)

It's jerkbait time! The early Fall transition has begun! Bass are focusing on baitfish again and jerkbaits trigger a reaction strike in those hungry bass. If you've ever wanted to experience a wide open jerkbait bite like you've heard other anglers talk about, it's time to go give it a try!

How To Fish The Free Rig! ( Fall Bass Fishing )

Have you tried the "Free Rig" yet? If you haven't tried the Free Rig, this is the right time of year to experiment with it. Think of it as a finesse version of a Texas Rig or Carolina Rig. Its a fish catcher and it's here to stay!

The Free Rig isn't new, but is continuing to gain popularity, especially as grass begins dying back in the Fall. This rig shines around hard cover and will produce long after bass have become leery of traditional presentations. The benefit of this rig is it allows your bait to fall very slowly, while still keeping great contact with the bottom.

Below you'll find links to Tim's favorite baits for free rigging, along with the gear he uses to fish them effectively. We've also included our favorite colors for each bait to help you get started. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
