Title: soft jerkbait
Post by: Cfcustomrods on 02/09/16 14:09 UTC

if I already have the carrot molds both 5" and 6" Skinny, do you think I should invest in a wutz-it mold? do you find those baits will be suffice for a jerkbait?

Get them as you can afford them. You can never have to many molds! :D

The 5" and 6" Regular Carrots (1/2" diameter) would make good Jerkbaits, I'm sure.  The 5" Skinny Carrot (3/8" diameter) makes an Awesome Jerk.

My Finesse Jerk is the Super Stinger.  My Soft Jerk a step up from the Super Stinger is the 4" Senko.

 I like the Essential Series 5'' Jerk Bait.  It was one of my best producing baits all summer.  You can't go wrong with anything from the Wutz-It lineup.

Make it with heavy salt, HD, or glass beads when you need it to sink a bit.

DF and MonteSS are right on.  The 5in with weight is deadly. Even if you shoot it in the essential plastic alone will give you tremdouse results.
