Hi guys

I don't post much but the subject of jerk baits is one of my favorite topics so I thought I would throw my 2 cents in the pot.

I use a 7ft St Croix medium light fast action rod with 10lb fireline and 10lb XT leader.  I mostly throw x-raps and #14 husky jerks and have no problems with hook sets due to the no stretch line.  Friday I got on the lake at 2:00pm, water was very clear and 54 degrees.  Smallmouth were coming up in 15 ft of water and hitting-12 strikes and 10 landed and released

interesting tidbit.  kev and i fish the midwest open on kent last sunday.  we lost many fish on jerkbaits.  when the wind was ripping, they had it inhaled and made it to the boat.  when the wind died off, they were only slashing at it and would pull off once the fight was on.  so this time of year, if you find a stretch of bank or point that is getting pounded by wind, throw the jerk!  this is pretty text book. still interesting to see the difference in the bite when there is wind vs no wind.
