what is your favorite brand of jerkbaits

For a floating Jerkbait or ripbait....Bomber Long A, Bagleys Bang O lure, and original Rapala Floater....Also the Smithwick Rattlin rogue in floating is killer on some days and I would consider that a must have lure since it is loud and has a unique action.

For suspending....Timmy Horton Pro Long A and Smithwick Rogues is what I have the most confidence in and pound for pound I like them over most shallow suspenders...The Pointer and XRAP are good as well when I want to work the bait more, but I tend to find that size and color matter the most when fishing really slow....I am not a huge fan of suspenders in the cold, but I will use them if that is the best tool and sometimes it is...
