Jerk bait…how to decide

I won't touch the Clunn bait, heard too many bad things about them since they came out. On the other hand the Cherry Stunna looks like it might be a great bait, would love to hear how it casts and runs back to the boat. I don't get too much into colors. that shad fillet looks like one of the pointers I throw.

They have some nice colors, but just about everyone that uses them changes out the hooks and splits. Kind of like what we were speaking about with the Duckett rods and really the RK Crawlers way better now than the early models.

I personally love them and love to catch fish on them, it is one of my favorite ways to catch bass. I do spend time weighting and have multiple ways to have them present, head up head down and flat suspend or sink and rise depending on the mood of the fish.  Spro McStick and an old Excalibur that I cant find any more of are all good fish catching options. I cant bring myself to pay that kind a money for a megabass. Landed some big fish in winter on 8 lb florocarbon and RC jerkbaits.

You don't change hardware on your stickbaits? Like Daichi hooks?
