does anyone use jerkbaits in the fall, and if so how do you fish them?

The same as in spring, in the water, where the fish are.

They are a simple bait. Don't overthink them.

Find baitfish. Throw Super Fluke/Sluggo/Caffeine Shad/etc and slam them.

I'm assuming you mean hard, suspending jerkbaits and yes I do fish them in the fall and yes the can be extremely effective in the fall also. I fish them the same but a lot of the time you can fish them faster in the fall than you can in the spring. 

Spring, summer, fall winter. They're a consistent bait period.

That's true, but they really shine RIGHT NOW!

 

 

 

Just a longer pause in colder water, and more erratic in warmer!

Even when the water is cold play with different pause durations.  I was out a few days ago (Northern Nebraska less than a week from ice out) and had to really snap it fast to get hit.  Long pauses were ignored.  Switched over to some one knocker lipless baits with a rip/pause and it was game on.  Changed back to a jerkbait with a snappy retrieve and it was no longer ignored.
