Jerk bait are my favorite way to catch big fish in in spring I placed 8th in a Bass Invitational on pickwick and had the fish to win.any time the water is above 44 to59 I have one on.Tips I get more bites on 011 dia line and use a light drag start on the walls at the mouth of creeks when the water in the 40's and work in as the water warms too the coves. I have had many days with over 20lb on dale and Cumberland.
