Quillback Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Got off the trailer about 1000 today, broke out the jerkbaits and started fishing. Had to work for them again, caught 3 LM's, 2 of them were around the keeper mark, but the third and last bass of the day went 5.75 lbs on the Boga grip. Got her off a wind blown main lake point on a Pointer 78 XD. My other two bass were on an IMA Flit. Quite a few bassers out there today, dunno if it was because of the nice weather, or maybe a tourney was going on. Water temps were 41-42 in the White river channel before Eagle Rock and around 44 further down.
Guest Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 good job, thats a nice bass for 41degree water. Ive never fished a deep susp jerkbait, did you twitch and pause or just reel it the whole time?

Ive never fished a deep susp jerkbait, did you twitch and pause or just reel it the whole time? Pretty much work it like any suspending jerkbait, twitches and pauses. It does have an action that resembles a Shad Rap, so I suppose you could do a crankbait type retrieve, maybe worked slowly like that you could pick up some fish, haven't tried it that way, but it's in the back of my mind to try it.
