WHAT ARE JERK BAITS
• Jerkbaits are a type of fishing lure designed 
to mimic injured baitfish, enticing predatory 
fish to strike. These lures are characterized 
by their slender, elongated shape and 
typically have two or three treble hooks. The 
name "jerkbait" comes from the fishing 
technique used with these lures.
• Anglers use a jerking or twitching motion to 
make the bait dart and move erratically 
through the water, simulating the 
movements of a wounded or distressed fish.

SUSPENDING JERKBAIT

Suspending jerkbaits are a type of fishing lure meticulously designed to remain 
at a specific depth in the water when the angler pauses the retrieve. Unlike 
floating or diving jerkbaits, these lures neither sink nor rise when stationary, 
creating a lifelike presentation that imitates a wounded or struggling baitfish. 
This characteristic makes them particularly effective in enticing fish during 
moments of lethargy or when the targeted species is suspended at a specific 
depth. Anglers often use a twitch-and-pause technique to elicit strikes, as the 
bait hangs in the water, mimicking the vulnerable behavior of injured prey and 
triggering predatory instincts in fish like bass and pike.

FLOATING JERKBAITS
Floating jerkbaits are fishing lures designed to remain on the water's surface 
during retrieval. These lures typically have a buoyant construction, allowing 
them to mimic the movements of injured or distressed prey near the top of the 
water column. Anglers impart action to the floating jerkbait by using a series of 
jerks, twitches, or pauses in the retrieve. This technique creates a lifelike and 
erratic motion, enticing predatory fish like bass or pike to strike. Floating 
jerkbaits are particularly effective in shallower areas, such as near shorelines, 
weed beds, or over submerged structures where fish may be actively hunting 
for prey.

DIVING JERKBAIT

Diving jerkbaits are a type of fishing lure specifically crafted to submerge to 
predetermined depths when retrieved. They feature a streamlined design and 
often come equipped with a lip or bill, which helps them dive and maintain a 
consistent depth. Anglers can vary the diving depth by selecting different 
models or adjusting retrieval speed. This versatility makes diving jerkbaits 
effective for targeting fish at various depths, especially in deeper waters where 
predatory species like bass, pike, or walleye may be lurking. Anglers can cover 
a range of underwater structures and contours, presenting the lure at different 
levels to entice strikes.
