tiki or jerk

[Scott_Calvin]

what do you prefer tiki sticks or jerk bait?

[Bassin_Dude]

soft or hard jerkbait? im guessin soft, now they both have there places. i will take a tiki anyday just cause it is my goto bait, but if the fish want a jerkbait, they will get a jerkbaut.

Tiki sticks as a jerkbait.

[basshunter205]

Being i rarely, if ever, fish a tiki stick, i'd have to say soft jerkbait, like a zoom super fluke. however, some days the fish will only take a senko or dinger. depends.

[javlin2]

I'll take a slug-go over a senko anyday. And when it comes to wacky rigging to catch fish, I'll take a Zoom Salty Centipede over a senko on that day too.

[hershey]

I would take a weightless rigged tiki anyday over a jerkbait.

i dunno if im fishing my zoom super flukes wrong or something but i can only get hits on a red shad tiki stick tex rigged!! Please help to fish my super flukes better


thanx

Okay Christ, here's alittle exersize I want you to try with your Super Flukes. Do a short cast into very clear water... a Kiddy Pool would be ideal (minus the Kiddies). Now, let the Fluke settle to the bottom of your test water. Let it sit there for afew seconds and give it a quick sharp jerk. The Fluke should jolt from the bottom and dart in some direction. That's the action you're looking for. Watch the Fluke, you'll notice it will gentally glide back to the bottom. That's usually when you'll get a strike. If that is what you have been doing, don't give up. Just like I've never caught a fish with a spinnerbait/buzzbait/crankbait, it doesn't mean I won't though them anymore.

InEccess, I am ignoring the rest of this drivel. You have never caught a fish on a spinner, buzz or crank???? You are fishing all plastics? Or jigs? DO yourself a favor. Try the others, they are great baits. Dedicate one trip to each type of bait. You can catch fish on a buzzbait at 2 pm in the summer. I have done it. Is it better in the morning under clouds? Sure. Can it catch fish at other times? You bet! Put away the plastics and try the other stuff for your next few trips. You will be a better angler for it.

man i noticed how the super flukes swim cuz i can see them when i get them close to the dock and thats what ive been doing but still ive gotten no bites and ive tried everyday since saturday for about an hour still nothing!! Please help me out cuz im getting real frustrated!! Also with crankbaits!

[Bassin_Dude]

try using a super fluke on a drop shot rig

[coolman]

okay i will, i thought about trying it but thought the presentation wouldnt be right!! another ? how often should i jerk it up from the bottom???? and i usually fish my soft plastics weightless for the more natural presentation!! Any tips are welcome and needed.

[okefenokee010]

OK Christopher, let me get this straight. You have tried a super fluke for 4 whole hours? In 4 days? And because you haven't caught a fish it is no good? Is that what I am reading? An hour a day times 4??? Dude, you need to work on patience. And maybe try a new spot. Four hours is not a fair try for anything.

[Bassin_Dude]

change it up, on one retrieve, do a steady jerking motion(im being serious) and then if they dont want it start slowing the jerks down, till you are barly jerking, they should bite one of the retrieves.

If you're talking about a soft j-bait ,I prefer the tiki-stik.
