Jerkbait and Fluke Fishing Tricks For Spring Bass Fishing!
Flukes and Jerkbaits can be amazing lures for bass in the spring. In both the prespawn and post spawn, bass congregate and feed in schools. These baits do an amazing job of "triggering" a feed response in these fish. If you learn how to use both baits to complement each other, you can trigger larger bass into feeding in almost every situation you'll face during Spring.
Jerkbaits are an amazing lure in Spring. The way bass attack these baits at full speed is incredible! Their only fault is they can't be fished in heavy cover or ultra shallow water. That's where the fluke comes in to play. Once you learn to modify your fluke rigging for different situations, these baits can be used in tandem to adjust to changing conditions throughout the day, or across the seasons.
If you haven't been using these baits to their fullest, its time to give it a try. Below you'll find links to all the baits discussed in the video, including favorite colors for each. We've also included links to the exact rod and reel combos Matt relies on for success. All of the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
