Start with slack, end with slack. I heard KVD say this years ago and I still say it outloud everytime I throw a jerkbait. When I heard this and applied it I went from 1 or 2 bites a day in cold water on a jerkbait to smashing them. KVD is the G.O.A.T.
Mr. Kevin, Thank You for sharing this information… I’m trying hard to learn to use a jerkbait after 40+ years fishing colored water now live in clear water country… My issue is I just seem to not do as well with a baitcaster and end up with spinning reel in my hand… But working on it!!
There is pros that throw a jerkbait on nothing but a spinning reel. Spinning gear+ jerkbait has some really good advantages. Try using a shorter rod when using casting gear. I use 7' and up on everything but when I downsized to a 6'8" casting rod with a jerkbait the stars aligned. Jerkbaits became my absolute favorite way to catch bass when I went to a 6'8" rod and when I heard KVD say "start with slack end with slack". Hope what helped me helps you.
I've taking that rod and reel and kvd jerk baits and caught a bunch of fish, little one , giant ones. Doesn't matter. When used right is deadly all season up north

Need to sell a "jerk bait" set up rod and reel combo!!!
His jerkbait line is damn heavy compared to others on the market.
What knot does KVD use to tie fluoro directly to baits?
