A New Jerkbait

[Old plug]

I never seen one with screw on weights. I just use little lead stick on strips on all my stuff. They are real handy. I do not always use it to suspend. I offent use it the slow down how fast it rises. I am really sold on those Little strips.

Old plug, what are these lead strips you speak of? You have my curiosity.

Storm suspend strips. they also make suspend dots. I have used and they are nice, but one problem I have with them is that the bait has to be dry to apply them. so that comes into play when you are trying to adjust the bait while on the water. If the bait is wet when you stick them on, they will normally fall off.

I have found that using the thin lead wire and wrapping it around the front hook shank work better. It is very easy to adjust on the water and doesn't screw with the action of the bait.

that is a problem about the bait being dry. but i do a lot of mess ing with that stuff right off my dock where i can watch

the reaction easy. I have found out that I can take,y finger and put it in a doubled over handkerchief and dry it enough where it will stick real well.

An alcohol wipe does a good job of "prepping" before adding the strips.
