RC STX baits are very erratic In sink / suspend rates. Some will float regardless of how much you weight them down. I'm done with them. 

I own dozens of Megabass, RC STX, Jackal, Lucky Craft and SPRO baits. I've won more money on the RC STX than any of them. Yes, you may get a bad one every now and then, but they are a decent bait and not a bad alternative for guys who don't want to empty their wallets for MB baits.

off topic slightly but not by a bunch.  what water temp do you guys stop throwing a jerkbait or do you?  KVD fishes it all year but I don't see or hear a lot about other guys fishing it past say 55 degrees?

I will take a Jackall suspending Squad minnow over an RC STX any day of the week. Luck-E-Strike RC STX are garbage IMO....a Jackall at almost the same price is not even a thought for me.

TR guys are the absolute worst, myself included, about rigidly following that kind of thing. Fish will eat a stick in warm water too. Everyone just stops throwing it.

Well, fish a bait & color you have confidence in, and you have had success on the body of water you are currently fishing.  Some of my favorites follow.

I knew a guy that in the Summer after hitting a few brushpiles and not getting bit he would pick up a jerkbait and save the day every time.   I have tried that a bunch....But it never worked for me.  I think you just have to believe in it and keep covering water.    

Patience is not a quality I possess.

I like shiny when it's clear, and shiny when it's not.

I like shiny in the cold water, as well as when it's hot

Shiny here

Shiny there

I do NOT have shiny underwear :-)

I have been messing around with color-shifting paint, and that practice has made its way into my jerkbait collection.

I hope the video attached correctly.

I've caught fish on an old big rogue at Truman fishing bluff ends in August. If they're suspended, or at least looking up, there's a chance they'll eat a stick.

Dock corners, fronts, and schoolies too. Don't throw one into a school of whites or K's.
