Old plug Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 They do not dive very deep. What you do is you cast the lure to the chunk. Bank or whatever give it a turn or 2 on the handle and let it sit. I do not think you grasp the concept but it is the way we do it around this lake early in the spring. All those rocks and boulders heat up on sunny afternoons and draw bait fish to them and the bass are right there only a couple feet down.

Plug, These are not the standard Suspending Rogues that dive 3-5 feet. These are the "Perfect 10" Suspending Rogue models that dive to 10 feet.
Champ188 Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 I've done my share of jerk bait fishing on LOZ, Table Rock and other Ozarks area lakes. It's a slightly different game for Plug and others at LOZ because their water is not as clear and they have a lot of dark-colored shoreline chunk rock that gathers heat and warms the surrounding water. Plug is right on when he says you throw on the bank and that most bites come only a few feet out. Down here, the water is clearer and jerk baiting is a different and generally deeper game. Banging your expensive lures on the rocks isn't necessary because the fish rarely get up super shallow during jerk bait season. Hope this helps provide some clarity.

I don't think I have ever caught a jerk bait fish on TR in anything under 10 feet deep. Most of the time it is in the 15-25 feet range and usually around wood.

Deep divers, not the stuff you're fishing on LOZ. Concepts are different from what you're used to.
Old plug Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I have not seen one but I imagine i will next time I go to pro bass in springfield.
