I’ve had a really strange relationship with jerkbaits. For years, I never really threw them much and I have no idea why. On the rare occasion that I did pick one up, it always seemed like I’d catch a fish on my first few casts. They’re definite fish catchers and until last year, that didn’t really click with me. I couldn’t tell you why, either.
I throw a jerkbait a bunch these days and I can’t even begin to count how many fish I’ve caught on them. Give me a breezy, sunny day with somewhat clear water and you can’t pry it out of my hands.
Luckily, we’ve been having a bunch of those sunny and breezy days this month which has given me the perfect opportunity to test out the Duel Hardcore Minnow Flat SP Jerkbait. I’ve learned a bunch about this jerkbait in the past five or six weeks and it offers everything I look for in a jerkbait, plus a little more.
I’ll quickly go over its most noteworthy characteristics.
