Soft Jerk baits
 

What hook do you normally use for soft thick bodied jerk baits like Bass
Assassins?

Do you fish it with an exposed point and some form of weed guard? Do you
fish it Texas rigged or skin hooked?

Soft Jerk baits
 

Bass assassins are my favorite soft jerkbait, I fish them on a 6 6 med
heavy rod with 30lb stren braid on my scorpion, I use almost exclusively 4/0
red gammy wide gaps, If I start getting short strikes where they are
folloowing and just nipping I switch to a 5/0 offset lunker city hook. The
red hooks combined with the baby bass colored assassins has been a
consistent producer for me and has been responsible for most of the bigger
fish I have caught in the past year or two. Would take a bass assassin over
just about any super fluke, IMO

Just curious, what make Bass Assassins better than Flukes? I've never
used them. I usually use Flukes.....

I use both, but I'm not perceptive enough to note the differences, other
than the Assassins are heavier, perhaps by about 15%.

The assassins are heavier, and that baby bass color is unlike anything else
out there, it just screams I'm dying and helpless, eat me!!! I think the
heavy bait also cause a bit more of a disturbance whne fished fast across
the top
