You’re a Jerk
The onset of shorter days and cooler weather signals one thing for me when it comes to bass fishing, jerkbaits.
Sure you can catch bass on them all year but they really come into their own when the water gets cold and clear and the bass become more reserved and less inclined to chase down faster moving and more aggressive offerings.
Sure jerkbaits aren’t always the best option, but I’ve had many days when they’ve been the only thing that I’ve been able to catch fish on.
So let’s take a quick look at the how, why and where of how I do my jerkbait thing, and my go-to collection of jerkbait favs.
KVD draws blood
Kevin VanDam accidentally buried the hooks of a jerkbait in a cameraman’s arm on the final day of competition at the MLF Challenge Cup at Lake Amistad. The YouTube video below shows how the incident occurred, and then how VanDam and Gary Klein removed the hooks using the braided-line method.
A word of caution: If you don’t like the sight of blood, don’t watch.
