So many good jerk baits on the market. Duo Realis. Berkley Stunna. SK KVD. Lucky Craft. Etc. Much better price point too.
You guys are spot on about the color thing.. the other day I could ONLY get bit on a bright lime green with a very very pink belly jerkbait.. the bite was epic and explosive but they wouldn’t even touch anything and I mean anything else color wise. Now I just need to get a dedicated jerkbait rod i am big time lacking there my 6’10 medium heavy doesn’t hit like I like its way too aggressive. If anyone is feeling generous I wear a size 6-10 in Expride medium fast 😂😂😂😂
I have two spin cast rods in my boat. Both are Ronin's with budget Shimano 2500's. Super versatile rod. Great for a fluke. Good bang for the buck. I use a quality 10 lb flouro almost exclusively on them.
I’ve never really cared for Megabass jerkbaits . Probably just me . I’m not an expert jerkbait fisherman. But I catch more on susoending rogues and strike King.
I wish the Megabass baits would go on sale just once. Always excluded from tackle warehouse sales.
My first technique-specific setup I ever bought was a 6'10 M SLX/SLX 70. It's one of my favorite combos and it plays well with lots of other techniques too!
You guys are my tackle spending muses 🤣
I have watched all of the buyers guide videos i have been watching you guy's channel for about 5 years now and its my favorite channel very educational and very informational i have learned alot about bass fishing even thou i am a bank fishermen you guy's channel has help me catch more fish and i want to thank you guy's for that happy holidays to you guy's family and i appreciate your time and effort you guys put in for these videos
I’ve never been out fished. Probably because I watch yall
great video, as always i watch them all, tactical bassin i been watching for years and has helped me be a better bass fisherman than any other channel, thank you guys for not being a selfish channel like so many others and sharing you're top secrets with everyone
This video is great info for us inshore Speckled Trout guys. Jerk baits are a great lure for big specks.
Anyone else have issues with the mavericks weight transfer sticking and messing up the action?
If price isn’t a problem, the ronin with an existing is phenomenal.
Hey Tim & Matt, i challenge u to do a video on a lure i don't have 😂 good luck…I'm starting to shake…better place an order
Shimano zumverno a stripers nightmare
Hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving great jerkbait video guys thank you Matt and Tim
I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from you over the years. Thank you for helping me make many fishing memories over the past decade. Your success is well deserved.
Matt & Tim I’m surprised no talk of the New GLX jerkbait rod under the high end category
I just put together matt's favorite jerk bait combo and I don't regret it one bit. My wife and wallet seem to be upset though I can't figure out why. It's such a great setup!
My bank account is in therapy for depression…it says it feels so empty inside😅
“These baits are on sale”. Well,…. Except for Megabass and any other baits in a good popular color. 🤦♂️
I don't see what's so special about Mavriks other that they are new. I tried them and went back to old reliable Pointers and Duos.
This is a great series, thanks for all of the hard work. Quick question, what knot do you use to tie on a jerk bait?
Thank you for the info – I fit into the spinning rod for throwing jerk baits category – looking into the MB Orochi XX Ronin and MB P5 Destroyer Windbuster
I love the MB Ronin so much that i may pick up another one since it's $100 off.
The new model Fenwick Elite 6’8 MMF is such a good Jerkbait rod as well. Fenwick is killing it.
I get my 589.00 worth of jerkbaits and few cranks delivered today. Opinion on the TLO? Spring time? that lovely red/orange color
O.S.P also makes a few jerkbaits that give a bang for the money. In fact, my go-to jerkbait for BFS is the O.S.P Asura Durga. 4 grams and casts a mile with that weight transfer.
I also notice Raid Japan slowly getting more love in the U.S. They have a full-sized jerkbait called the Level Minnow. My local anglers call it the "magic minnow", and for a good reason. I daresay that it might even rival the Vision 110.
I know there were way more jerkbaits you guys recommended over the years, are these just meant to be bought because they are best for cold water?
I'm glad I watched the whole thing. I was hoping for a storage video.
A travel and 2 pieces rods buyer´s guide would be fantastic. Great channel. Congrats!!!
Hey Tim and Matt. Have you had much fishing time with the Berkley Stunna 112? Seem to get more action on the Stunna than the Megabass 110 in Zimbabwe for some reason
Thanks!
I have like 60 crank baits and 10 combos after discovering yall, I need to turn off the notifications 😭😭😭
The opening words …one of our final buyers guides ..wish id nvr hear em…so much valuable information coming to an end..I just want to thank you matt and tim…i look forward to these every year..we all know how much you put into delivering them for us and we all appreciate you..
Yall always save the day when im bored at work 😅😂
