Buyer's Guide: Best Jerkbaits For Bass Fishing

In today's Buyer's Guide we're looking at the best jerkbaits for catching bass throughout the year. Whether you're looking for a subtle jerkbait for cold water fishing or an aggressive jerkbait for the Spring and Fall bites, we've got you covered. Understanding the differences between jerkbaits and when to throw each style will make all the difference!

The jerkbait, also known as a rip bait, is one of the best lures to trigger a feed response in a bass. The combination of aggressive movement followed by suspension is more than most bass can resist! In the cooler months, a bait that will perfectly suspend is the key. As water temperatures drop its important to let the bait pause for long periods of time between jerks of the rod. In warmer temperatures the pauses are much shorter so balance becomes less important. During these warmer periods, baits that give off maximum flash and vibration are the key to standing out amongst the baitfish. 

It doesn't matter if you're just getting in to jerkbait fishing or you're a seasoned pro, these are the baits that will help you maximize your time on the water. Below you'll find links to all of the baits shown in the video. We've also included our favorite colors for each, as well as some of the rod and reels we use to throw jerkbaits.
