Jerkbaits are year-round producers for pugnacious smallmouth bass. Aggressive and curious by nature, the erratic action of a bright-colored jerkbait not only draws fish in for a look but triggers aggressive feeding.
Ryan presents a mixed bag of tips in this video that’ll put smallmouth in your boat wherever they swim. This video dives into the following topics, each supported with quality fish catches: 1) jerkbait color selection for more bites, 2) the importance of boat positioning and casting angles along fish-holding structure, 3) the use of titanium leaders to prevent pike cutoffs (learn how to tie the Albright Knot) and 4) rod selection for working jerkbaits and keeping bass hooked.
