The late winter/early spring jerkbait bite is one of my favorite times of the year. Of course, like any other pattern, it is not on every day depending on water conditions but when it is on, it is definitely a lot of fun and a good pattern for some big early feeding females here on Kentucky/Barkley.

We have taken bass on a lot of different jerkbaits over the years but here are some that are proven high percentage colors/models that I always have in my boat that time of year:

Lucky Craft Pointers:

Aurora Black
Clown
Pearl Ayu
Table Rock Shad
Chartreuse Shad

Rapala Huxky Jerks:

Black/Chrome
Blue/Chrome
Clown

Smithwick Rogue:

Table Rock Shad
Black/Chrome/Orange

Mega Bass:

Ito Watsugi

I had BAG5 Baits paint me up some Mega Bass bodies in the Aurora Black, Pearl Ayu and Table Rock Shad patterns this past winter and used them this past March with a lot of success also.
