Our Favorite Jerkbaits:
Lucky Craft Pointer
One of the favorites of smallmouth anglers everywhere, the Lucky Craft Slender Pointer is tried and true and provides tough competition.
Megabass Ito 110
Another favorite is the Duo Realis Jerkbait 100SP. It’s attention to detail and effectiveness make it a standout in its class.
Rapala X Rap
The Rapala X Rap is a favorite due to its availability, prominence on TV and casts a mile. This may be one of the most well known jerkbaits and is a a great producer to boot!
Smithwick Suspending Rattlin Rogue
The Rattlin Rogue is not as well known as many other jerkbaits but is well designed and balanced as well as very economical. Pricing can be a factor in filling your tackle box as long as its a quality, effective bait.
Luck-E-Strike RC STX Jerkbait
Could this be the controversial pick of the bunch? The Luck-E-Craft RC STX is considered a knock of on the more expensive Megabass Jerkbait, this has been gaining in popularity. Is it close enough in quality and action to compete?
