I have used soft jerkbaits with success in the past but not hard jerkbaits. That has been one of the lures that I've just not been able to crack the code of. I'm going to give it another go this fall/winter. Usually somewhere around December I will transition from topwater and paddle tail swim baits, to spoons and or blade baits. I've bought up some different jerkbaits and gear...hopefully with some success. Any of you guys good at throwing them? Any tips? I've been watching videos on them for the past few weeks. Have gathered up quite a bit, or so I hope.
