Jerk Bait Problem

I can understand the need for that but on my favorite places to jerkbait a long cast is rarely necessary. I'm not saying that it's not productive and covers a lot of water, but I'm probably going to spend more time find a spot where I can really zone in. 

Of course this all depends on the body of water and the fish you are chasing. 

I probably use jerkers for trout more than bass fishing.  And that trout fishing is primarily at the tail waters so a long cast certainly helps.

We'll use them when we go white bass fishing.

I'm trying to figure out where to fish this weekend.  Stinking rivers are at flood stage around here.

They are better over this way but still chugging along pretty good.

Excellent thread and replies!! 

Great weather this weekend to get out and test the theories put forth, but like Snagged said everything is FULL and dirty around here.

They don't work.  I'll send you my address and you can mail them to me.
