Default soft jerkbaits

I got a chance to go out fishing yesterday, and man did it feel good. I
started out in a small bay hoping to find a few on beds, no such luck.
Went out on a flat and found some bass cruising so I got out a 5 inch
Albino shad Assassin soft jerkbait and had a real good time. I added a
small red trebel hook to the belly of my 3/0 wide gap and I think that
was the ticket.


It may have just been the right thing to help you hook up. I have had the
darndest time with soft jerkbaits. I rig them up, get hit,. and they just
slide right out on the hookset. When its the only way I can get bit I try
and wait for the fish to turn away before I set the hook.
