Spring Jerkbait Fishing: Beginner and Advanced Tips!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 เม.ย. 2018
- Ready to "Trigger" fish to bite like never before?! These tips are the real deal! Learn to force bass to react instead of waiting for them to want to bite. The power of a properly fished jerkbait is unlike any other lure.
The jerk bait draws on a bass' core response. It can trigger an instinctual feeding response from a fish, regardless of their desire to bite. You're about to learn how to use a jerk bait to its fullest potential.
There are a lot of great baits on the market but some seem to be more consistent than others. Below is a list of the baits we fish with confidence from prespawn to postspawn.

I'am from the UK 🇬🇧 and I found your vid extremely interesting. I will give ur method a go when I get the chance. Great vid 👍
Absolute master class on jerkbait fishing. I got into a smallie bite for the first time in years snapping a keitech shad impact. This video, like all your other videos...pure gold.
Really helpful I'm definitely a person that was reeling in to much slack.
Me too! I live on the opposite side of the country in NC and I can't Express the difference this man & channel has helped my fishing
Thankyou just watched this this morning and went out and caught possibly my PB if not 2nd biggest bass ever using the tactics you talked about
MY #1 FAVORITE TH-cam CHANNEL! THANK YOU MATT AND TIM!
Spring is one of the top three seasons for bass fishing.
The info you provide is second to none always every single time. I've been diving back into old school vids cuz I can't get enough, tactical bassin has already helped me become a better angler. You guys are my heros. Already waiting for Friday's vid!
I love to go back and watch old Tactical Bassin videos that are relevant to the time, conditions, and style of fishing that I'm on at the moment so I can glean them for more information, and/or, refresh myself on something that I might have forgotten. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge with us fellas.
Matt, You and Tim keep the great fishing tips and methods coming! I've learned a lot from watching Tactical Bassin' and improved my fishing greatly because of your teaching!
Getting ready for Kentucky Lake. This channel is perfect for tuning up!
Best channel on “the tube “!
Can't tell you how much I've picked up from you guys. Since i started watching my catch ratio has gone way up. Love the videos keep them coming you guys are great.
Matt, you are a true fishing jedi. Powerful in knowledge and kind in sharing. You have created a life fed by the fish, kudos.
Thanks Matt!!! You really explain your concepts very well. I always apply your concepts on any given lake & manage to constantly put good size fish in the boat. Thanks again for making me a better fisherman! Tacticalbassin rocks!!!!!
I remember KVD saying to always use a slack line when working a jerk bait and point your rod at the bait after each jerk. I never forgot that. It gives it great action and like you said, you dont get that swimming action between pauses. Great tips. Thanks Matt!
Enjoyed this video, as I've learned a ton from you over the years! It's crazy how the same techniques and baits are used so differently in different parts of the country. Here in the Midwest, you CAN'T underwork a jerkbait when the water is under 45 degrees most of the time. I outfish fools all the time that are hitting it hard like you described...that's what makes fishing so incredible. THUMBS UP on another great vid!
Nothing like having your morning cup of JO and watching your vids.. I'm a bank fisherman, I've recently threw some rip baits out with no success. Your presentation tutorial helped me out on how to work it proper.. Thanks Matt.. Your channel is my favorite..
When I think your instructional videos can't get any better, whamo! This video!
Keep'em coming, please.
@tacticalbassin I watched this video first thing this morning and went out in my boat and caught my first jerkbait fish!!! It wasn’t a giant but it put up a good fight!!! Thanks guys!!!!
I feel like someone turned the firehose with all that information 🤣😂 no one can do it like Matt and Tim 👊👊👍👍
I've been really impressed with the duo realis 110. Great bait!
All hail the master. Thanks for another great video Matt. Very informative.
Tactical Bassin will forever be the greatest educational fishing channel on TH-cam!! You guys are beyond awesome. And have helped me so much. Keep em coming guys!!
Travis Hall great at selling tackle
Ajdizzle4rizzle that's true. But they aren't considered by very many that they recommend. They are just true fishermen trying to help other fishermen. I love these guys!!
Always very detailed and informative. Great video. Definitely my favorite TH-cam channel.
I watched this video and bought a few Jerkbaits, went to the lake and SLAYED! I had never used one, I primarily fish jigs and worms. Now I’m hooked lol I have to buy more. Thanks Matt !
Thank you Matt, ALWAYS comin' thru with the knowledge bombs. Thoroughly impressed once again! Thank you
I got that dobyns after you talked about it a few weeks ago. It's the best budget rod I've ever used. It's my favorite crankbait rod now. Plan on trying more of them soon. Thanks
Az Scout one of the best brand of rods out there!
Love this video, I am not a beginner but I definitely have a ton to learn. Your videos always help so much
These retrieval instructions were exact. I went fishing in the usual small pond today and was getting no bites with soft plastics so I decided to try a hard jerkbait and use these instructions and caught 3 easily already. Never caught a legit fish on a hard bait before u were right I was missing out. I would have probably gotten skunked again today without this video😂👍thanx!
You videos are consistent and very helpful.
Ah the pointer 78. Brings back memories of my pb largemouth. Oh I will never ever ever forget what that felt like when I set into that thing.
I love how much into detail you go
Awesome video! Absolutely amazing! There is so much useful information. I learned a lot in twenty minutes and all the information was relevant. Again, great video. Thank you!
Tips are awesome... thank you. bait suggestions, hooks, and lines luv it.
Matt and tim your content is amazing in all areas no one is better keep it up you guys are great
I’ve been bed fishing for a long time, but I still have learned a lot from you guys! That Matt lures bluegill straight murders them! If my hook up ratio is weak I just switch to a Keitech! Any bluegill color. Thanks for helping keep my game up! Much love from Central California
I have started really fishing jerkbaits a lot lately and I have been catching an absolute ton more fish than before. What you said in this video is completely right. My friends and I catch a hundred fish a day in the ponds here in Florida
Great content brother as always!
"The Ripping and the Tearing !"
Great video Matt. Awesome information
Loved this video! Very helpful, easy to understand. Would love to see maybe more gear reviews... not a lot cause the tips and informational videos are better but reviews are always welcome
I would love to see an in depth close up video of changing out hooks and split rings.
Get yourself some TEXAS TACKLE split ring pliers in the small size and it will change your life when it comes to switching out hooks and split rings
You can find em on TW
learn so.much from you guys seriously awesome videos. keep it up. best fishing channel on TH-cam by far.look forward to watching your videos Everytime I get a notification you uploaded a new one. tight lines,!
Thank you for your valuable time and 😮 information
Great tips on working the baits!
Great video, you guys are great, will be trying out this weekend for sure.
What an incredible video. Priceless.i have s few jerkbaits and thought I was using them right. I wasn’t. Thank you so much. You guys kick ass.
Love your videos man! So insightful! Thank you!
You sir are my hero and I have so many questions about being a fishing guide
Matt ur a frickin pro dude! Real deal ... awesome vid man...love it
I learn so much from you guys. This spring time is TB jerking tips vs European Northern pike. Game on.. :)
always great tips
I learn so much from you guys man thanks!!
Lots of great info as always, ur the man Matt!
thanks for your time giving tips.
I was killing it on a drop shot fluke yesterday. Smallies, largies, brown trout, and even a carp. That wacky hook rig is a great idea. Seems like a much more natural presentation, especially for a river.
Jerkbaits are my go to confidence lure that also caught my PB
I really enjoyed the video it was very indepth and educational. You guys are awesome
Love the pointer 78. Caught my PB 7lber on it in October 2012!
Best damn fishing channel yet. So much valuable information. You have taught me ALOT and I thank you.
Your vids are the absolute best
Jerkbaits are my least confidence bait. I've watched so many videos on them but this one is the best.
Once again, Awsome video. You and Tim are Awsome.
Probably the best channel on TH-cam.
Gfin definitely*😊🎣👊
Great video Matt
Beautiful *Bait* Fisherman Congratulations!👍🎣🐠
Cant wait to try it
I had one of the best days of my life yesterday on a jerkbait. I caught approximately twenty largemouth,. The first fish was a 7.4, and the rest were in the 2-3 pound range with a 5.6 in the mix. But what really set this day apart was catching four giant grass carp. They were not foul hooked, rather they had the lure in their mouth. My seasoned semi-pro buddy and I both thought the first one was a fluke, but I proceeded to catch three more. I broke my personal best freshwater fish on 10# test Berkley Vanish fluorocarbon line, and I had never caught a carp before. I didn’t weigh the carp, but our best guess is the biggest was approximately 25 pounds with the smallest around 16. I was throwing a 3.75” Yo-Zuri Hardcore 95F in skeleton Ayu with four suspension strips to keep it down. Water clarity was 6-7 feet, which is clear for this reservoir. I’ve seen Matt catch a giant carp on a plug before, so I know you guys will believe me. I have photos and a video clip on my TH-cam channel and my Facebook page. Facebook page is under Food Chain Lures. I appreciate you guys more than you know, and you have taught this 40+ years of experiences angler so much that has made me a better fisherman. Thank you guys!
Hey Matt...Great explanation on the cadence and with the hard stops and pause with no bait glide. I may have been giving my baits a head start! Ha! No more of that!
By far my favorite video yet I hardly throw jerkbaits because I'm terrible at catching fish with them. Now I'm going to have to get out and give them another shot. Thank you for the inspiration and information.
Awesome stuff and I'd say that these tips could be paired with Classic 2020! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome Video. Thank you for your advice and sharing. That looks like the upper Mississippi. If it is, steer clear of barges and happy fishing!
awesome video as always
It’s an absolute pleasure to attend another class at Tac Bass U
Thanks to you and specifically this video i caught 7 bass from the bank on a jerkbait 3 on my first day off and 4 then next day off... thank you soooo much man!
Excellent tutorial
i LOVE WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. i GET A TON OF INFO FROM YOU GUYS. I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A BIG BASS YET. i KNOW I WILL. THKS FLUKEGURU
your info is greatly appreciated
Great tips as usual thank you so much!
So far since February up here in Ohio the jerkbait has been my number#1 lure.ive caught pretty much all my Bass this season on jerkbait except for a couple here and there on lipless and swim bait.but my go to at the moment is a jerkbait hands down!
Great video . I laughed when you mention the Banjo . I still have the kit...lol
The jackal rerange 110 is my go to. It's a bass killer.
Here in Alabama, PEARL WHITE is the best fluke color. I use albino or crazy chrome on clear, sunny days and pearl or silver rainbow in low light. Also, mardi gras or watermelon magic when they're eating bream, then lightning shad if their forage is catfish or shiners. A pearl or baitfish color tiny fluke on a ³/¹⁶oz gets the nod when we're after huge stripers and fiercely mean, fat magnum spotted bass in the tailraces of the lower Coosa River dams. Got my PB striper on this, on ML spinning gear, a coupla years back- a 16lb 12oz monster...IN HEAVY CURRENT!
Going from large bait to small one was is very interesting. and retrieving hints was very Cool my fishing friends. !!
Great video and great information
So knowledgeable and experienced
love your video! The best on youtube. thanks for the info always been my number one. Probably my third time watching but hey why not!??
At Clark’s Hill lake now and have been using the fluke and jerk baits ,getting ready for the tournament on Saturday and Sunday ! But I also have my huds !!!!
that tip at 4:00 mark... very interesting. Solid gold right there. Thanks man!
Awww man! Just made my Wednesday!!!
@tacticalbassin I've had so many good fish follow me straight to the bank, just to watch them turn off repeatedly. I was pulling too much slack in! went back to the same water hole and kept the slack right, back to back to back casts, 3lb, 3lb, 5.6lb. Thanks for the tip!!!!!!
New subscriber here. A lot of good info. I can't wait to try your technique. Thanks
Thanx dawg so much info Everytime.
Great videos on Jerkbaits Matt. My jerkbait set up is the zodias 6'10 m with a curado 70 xg. Awesome setup too!
Ying Yang I’m buying the the exact same setup soon but a curado k instead, what power rod did you get?
Sir Gillium I got the medium action rod.
Ying Yang thanks
jerk baits are one of those lures that I KNOW I should be throwing more often...but I just don't for some reason
lojo.fishing they always show high dollar. What about bass pro and H20 express? Do you have experience with those?
lojo.fishing get with the program lojo lol 😝
Once you start throwing a jerkbait and start getting bit...youre gonna be jerkin allll the time😉 it gets addictive.
Jeremy B. Im always jerkin xd
lol Yeah I really need to give it a fair chance
Thanks Matt--appreciate the info
Thanks for the tips. New Sub 🤙🏻
Thanks for the tips,i took the the tups and used them and i caught my pb largie with a trout magnet jerkbait in hawk and it caught me a 5.6lb bass it was finesse tho
Great video, Matt, as always. Terrific information on the details of jerkbaiting. Oh, I think I know that 12+ bass you showed! Now I have to shuffle my jerkbaits for tomorrow. Swap Staysee 120s out for 90s. And I need to go find a Katana. $$$
awesome tips!!
Just made a setup with 6lb mono tied to a 2500 series reel and a 6'6 med,fast rod. Cant tell you how much fun it is to throw finesse jerkbaits up to 5/8 ounce and have such a light rod for perfect reactions.
best channel
awesome video!!!!
