Trehook Jerkbait: Where to fish it?
- Rocky Shorelines and Midlake Structure
- Sand and Grass flats
- Ledges and drop-offs.
- Around docks
When to fish it?
- Coldwater: Jerk baits look like a dying baitfish when retrieved. They move a little then are suspended in the water, then move again. The colder water is a better time to fish these.
- When bass are shallow: Jerk bait do not dive very deep. The outer edge of their range is 12 feet / 3.5 m to 15 feet / 4.5 m. Bass deep, in the cold, will not rise to this bait, Works best around 5 feet / 1.5 m to 12 feet / 3.5 m.
- Clearwater: The clearer the water the better. Imitating dying baitfish needs a visual audience. Obviously, the dirtier the water the less the bass can see of the performance.
How to fish it?
Fishing Jerkbait is about speed, patience and experimenting. Try different pauses lengths, different numbers of twitches before pausing and so.
Try to make a note of what you were doing on your first catch of the day and repeat it.
As a general rule the colder the day the longer the pause. Bass are cold-blooded and are slower in the cold. Give them time.

When to fish it?
- Coldwater: The natural suspending action of a jerk bait imitates baitfish dying off in cold water. Although a jerk bait will catch bass all year, oftentimes the colder water will make it a better choice for getting bites than some of your other techniques. When water temperatures are around 50 – 60 degrees a jerk bait is often a great option.
- When bass are shallow: The max you can get a good jerk bait to go is 12 – 15 feet. This can be a problem if the bass are hanging deeper than 20 feet. Especially, if the water is cold. They are just not as apt to swim up and eat from those depths because of the bass’s slow metabolism. The jerk bait ideally is the most effective when bass are shallower in cold water sitting in about 5 – 12 feet of water.
- Clearwater: The jerk bait is a visual clear water feeding bait. This is why it works so well on smallmouth. In dirty water, the bass are unable to see the dying movements as well. A jerk bait seems to perform better in stained to clear water conditions. Many jerk baits come with rattles to help attract attention in those dirtier water conditions, but often when things are too dingy you are probably better off with a bladed bait of some kind.
How to fish it?
Jerkbait fishing is all about cadence. Experiment with different pause lengths between twitches, (twitch…pause. twitch). Also, try twitching multiple times, (twitch, twitch…pause…twitch). Once you catch your first fish of the day, make a mental note of what your lure had been doing prior to the strike. Generally, the colder the water, the longer the pauses. Sometimes, the fish want pauses as long as 15-30 seconds!

RUNCL ProBite Lipless Crankbait
Where to fish it?
- Submerged vegetation
- On top or around edges of grass
How to fish it?
Lipless crankbaits and grass go together like eggs and bacon, and you can bet you can catch some pigs! While it may seem counterintuitive to throw bait with two exposed treble hooks around grass, you actually want to “hang” your bait in the vegetation. Try retrieving your bait by just barely ticking the tops of the grass. When you do feel your bait get “hung,” sharply pop your rod upwards once or twice. This oftentimes triggers bass into biting.
You can also fish lipless cranks in cooler, deeper waters and use a yo-yo-ing technique. Lift your rod tip from a 9 o’clock to 11 o’clock position, and let your bait fall on a semi-slack line. This retrieves closely resembles a dying shad or a fleeing crawfish, and the subtle wobble followed by a fall will catch lethargic bass.
The lipless crankbaits are effective search baits, giving you the ability to cover water quickly and target the entire water column from top-to-bottom simply by varying the retrieval speed, delivering proven multi-species attraction. Each bait is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfect swimming action right out of the box, even getting the undivided attention of other disinterested gamefish.

Where to fish it?
- Off rocks
- Shallow water
- Near stumps
- Hard bottom banks with laydowns
When to fish it?
- Weather: With the weather, cloudy or windy conditions is when these baits tend to shine the best. On flat calm, sunny days keep your crankbaits in the box unless it’s early morning or late evening. Low light conditions are often another good trigger for a good bite on crankbaits.
- Water Temperature: Crankbaits are at their best as water temperatures are warming in the spring or cooling in the fall. Crankbaits require more energy for bass to chase down and eat. This means in warmer water they are more likely to reach out for them, whereas in the wintertime when it is cold, they tend to not eat them as well. A bass’s cold-blooded nature with the water temperature either speeds up or slows down its metabolism. Thus, the water temperature can be a major player in fishing crankbaits.
- Fish Depth: When bass are holding deeper than 20 feet, it is extremely difficult to get your crankbaits down to them banging off the bottom. You can do it, but it requires extremely long casts and big deep baits. The best depths for fishing crankbaits is actually 15 feet or less. This makes bumping and bouncing off the cover less difficult with the right bait. Thus, how deep you are fishing is a big indicator as to whether a crankbait would be a good choice.
How to fish it?
Taking the name from its dive lip, the sharp corners of the “square-bill” are ideal for banging off cover like rocks, wood or docks without getting hung up. A disruption in the swimming action caused by crashing the bait into the cover is usually what triggers the bite. This crashing action and performance in the cover is what separates the square bill from typical round bill crankbaits.
Designed for shallow water (6 ft. or less) and meant to be fishing in and around cover, the square bill makes an excellent search bait. Look to fish in areas with lots of cover, stumps, rocks or docks, working to bounce the bait off of the cover.
While the square bill is a versatile bait that can catch fish year-round, Spring and Fall are the primary seasons of usage as fish tend to be more concentrated in the shallow
