Jerkbait Tricks For Early Fall Bass Fishing! (Beginner To Advanced)

Jerkbaits Catch Bass!! If you don’t throw a jerkbait during the early Fall, you’re missing some really fun fishing!

Today we’re on the water catching big smallmouth on Jerkbaits but in between catches Matt teaches the exact technique, how to use color to fine tune the pattern, and some other key tips. Whether you’re a jerkbait beginner or a guy who throws them every day, you’re going to enjoy the information in this video!

Today Matt and CC used a Megabass Vision 110 and a Vision 110 Jr to dial in a jerkbait pattern along a windblown shoreline. The fish were staging on a shallow break to ambush baitfish and these baits were more than the fish could resist. In the beginning the fish were slapping at the baits but Matt began playing with colors and found the color “Elegy Bone” made all the difference. The duo went from short strikes and skin hooks to bass fully committing and t-boning the baits!

The jerkbait should be a part of your arsenal as water temperatures drop this Fall. Below you’ll find links to all the baits in the video as well as a couple of our other favorite jerkbaits. We’ve also included the rod and reel combos we were using, along with a budget alternative.
