Jerkbaits
I would post a fishing report with pics, but I feel like having this post concentrated on jerkbaits.
I caught my first two fish on a jerkbait today! A Gold Rapala X-Rap. Spinning Rod? I wouldn't have thought it would've done all of the work today. Anyways, I'm really like jerkbaits, and after catching those two fish, I have some confidence. What jerkbaits would you recommend I buy? Pics - 15"   P.S. - Both were caught in the first and last 15 minutes of 6.5 hours of fishing. They were caught in the same spot, with the same presentation and the same lure. They were also both the same size, but that last one fought a lot harder. Could these have both been the same bass? |

I like the black and silver with orange belly smithwick rattling rouge, also any fluke or finS in white, or any xrap, or even the rapala husky jerk

Odds are they where not the same bass, but stranger things have happened. I use the Xrap as well as Yosuri's silver minnow, Yosuri's line up of jerk baits are pricy but they work well too. Another Jerkbait I have had success with it the BPS Xtreme series.

Chartreuse w/ Purple back Smithwicks work really well in ponds sometimes. Try the little clown colored X-Rap for ponds too. Small baits kick some A in ponds.

The X-Rap is the best lure Rapala has put out in years. I also tried the BPS XPS jerkbaits and they have caught me more fish than Strike King's Wild Shiner.

My dad gave me a jerkbait a while ago and it says "XPS Suspension". It's in ghost color.
