Default How to Fish a solft plastic jerk bait.

Bob, sounds to me like your problem might be an undersized and/or
underweighted hook. The hook acts as a keel on a soft jerkbait, and it's
very hard to use too much hook on one. For instance, I'll throw a 5"
Superfluke with a 5/0 heavy wire hook. A 3/0 hook on this bait is just too
small/light. Try beefing up your hook & I think your problem may be solved.

I guess I just don't get this. I saw another angler fishign a soft jerk
bait and he was able to fish it fast or slow, and it just came through the
water straight or with jerks and twitches as fished. I have tried to do
that, and it spins and twirls throught the water. What am I missing.
