The jerkbait is in our opinion the hard lure par excellence dedicated to pike fishing. Initially intended for tracking northern pike in gigantic bodies of water in northern Europe, it has conquered our territory for several years, to the delight of fishermen. This lure will be a considerable asset in your pike fishing, regardless of the waterway. We wanted you select 5 pike jerkbaits essentials that have proven themselves over the years.
How can we talk about pike jerkabit without referring to the Buster Jerk The number of record-breaking pikes caught by this jerkbait since its launch is countless. The Buster Jerk is quite simply a reference jerkbait that you cannot do without for pike fishing.
With its so special sound and its ability to offset at the slightest blows of the tipThis jerkbait attracts by far the most curious and educated pike. Measuring 15 cm for 75g for the original model, the volume of its body means it can move a lot of water, making it an imposing figure for predators. This pike jerkbait is very easy to animate and will respond immediately to the slightest request of the rod.
We advise you to animate your Buster Jerk by dry and fast twitches to make it swim tightly if you see active fish. On the other hand, when fishing is slow and the water colder, favor long jerks followed by breaks. The lure will usually strike during this last phase. It is also possible to reel it in straight, which will give it a very gentle S stroke.
The effectiveness of this jerkbait is no longer to be proven, both on pike and on other predatory fish. Developped by Yuki Ito in 2000This jerkbait has quickly established itself as one of the benchmark swimming fish in its category. The Megabass Vision 110 is a very good pike jerkbait because very versatile in its swimming. It can therefore adapt to all situations and be reduced to linear, fast or very slow jerks.
In addition, the Vision 110 has been carefully studied to ensure change the visual aspect at the slightest acceleration thanks to the work done on form and colors. We've found that this jerkbait, among many others, can trigger more fish than a 'conventional' pike jerkbait.
Measuring 11 cm for 14 g, the slender line of this lure and its stroke combining wobbling and rolling perfectly imitates a bleak or an injured roach.
In order to comply with the legislation of our waters, be sure to remove the triple from the middle. This will not affect the swimming of this jerkbait.
Like his colleague Buster Jerk, the Salmo Slider is also a legendary pike jerkbait. The peculiarity of this lure lies in its ease of animation but also for its shock resistance. It comes to life at the slightest touch with short jerks interspersed with pauses or a linear action. And no matter how many pike attacks this jerkbait is subjected to, the Salmo Slider will remain virtually intact. Finally, its natural colouring and small size mean that it can be confused with the small prey targeted by pike.
There are just no bad ways to animate this pike jerkbait. Just launch it, animate it and the keys will not be long in coming. The pike will make short work of it.
B 'Freeze by Lucky Craft is a revolutionary jerkbait for pike and all other predator species. By animating it with short twitches, this lure is offset and thus perfectly simulates an injured or dying fish.
Its very low center of gravity allows this jerkbait to vibrate and oscillate even when the recovery is stopped and the lure is stopped. Among the many models and colors available for years, you will easily find one that perfectly mimics the type of forage fish sought by pike. A combination of action and imitation that makes B'Freeze a classic in jerkbait pike fishing.
The Guppie is historically a very exclusive lure, known to very few anglers. At the time, it was only distributed at fishing shows. Now, thanks to a partnership between TrueGlide and Strike Pro, it has come out of obscurity to the delight of anglers. The compact shape of this pike jerkbait gives it a highly effective action with a pronounced S-shaped action.
The balance of the decoy is made in such a way that it descends horizontally by oscillating sides in order to return bright flashes in all directions. The grub-like tail of the Guppie allows it to change its swimming action compared to a traditional pike jerkbait and gives the lure an extra vibration that pikes are not used to.
