For a speedy retrieve I love using the Ima Flit. If you want to slow it down the Smithwick suspending Rogue and the Rapala Husky Jerk are hard to beat. All three are winners.

What color are you using?

Oddly enough firetiger is my best color

I've tried more natural shad-looking ones and had absolutely no luck

Luck E Strike. 

Husky Jerk!

The only hard jerkbait that seems to work consistently for me is a clown colored Rattlin Rogue.

Hank Cherry made a couple of dollars in the ‘21 Classic using a Berkley Stunna.

I love my LC Pointer 100s and 78s as they catch fish but they aren't my favorites. For the favorites I have 2, the trusty old X-Rap and the Smithwick Suspending Rattlin' Rogue. They don't get a lot of hype but they do catch a lot of fish!!

 

WHAT!!!! LC Pointer 78sp's and 97mr are the best jerkbaits I have ever used. 

 

Where are all the Vision 110 guys at?

I'm a "Vision 110 Guy".

But to the OP,

The 110's run too deep to be an applicable part of this thread.

But they still catch a few for me.

And they would fill up with water because to meet the OP’s $12.99 price max, you can only get half a lure.

 

FWIW I’m a 110 guy too.

With current prices what you listed is low end. 
For mid priced, Anything by LC or duo realis.

They will meet the diving depth after the 5th cast when the bill breaks off.

*While I know and can appreciate the higher priced Megabass Vision 110 , I am trying to keep hard jerkbait prices reasonable as I will most likely lose a few in the shallower areas where I fish .

I didn’t mean it as a bad thing. Just observation of the JB prices. Shadow raps and huskies probably still catch as many if not more fish than visions and pointers. 

I don’t know if 4’-6’ is too far outside your parameters, but I’ve had a lot of success with the Googan Scout in Pro Blue. Yeah, I know…Googan. It’s still a very good jerkbait. 

Academy  Sports  H2O brand has a couple different styles and depths for around $5. I have a couple. No complaints

I didn't post it since it was below the price bracket, but yeah, they work great (and become mid-priced once you upgrade the hardware).

Although I like X raps, I think spending a couple more $ for Duo JBs is the way to go.  I change the stock hooks on Rapalas and once you factor that into the cost your close to 14$.

I love the pointers but they are a bit out of that price range, yesterday they really didn’t want the pointer but I caught 10ish bass on an h20 ultimate jerkshad bank fishing a small public lake. Two went over four, one went three, and the rest were smaller, that bait is quickly becoming a confidence bait for me and it’s probably the cheapest jerkbait out there.

The thread title says mid priced, the vision 110 is not in that category 

I vote X-rap.  I won a club tournament the first time I ever used it.  Sure it was only a 9 boat tournament, but it was day 2 of an early spring cold front, and I had a limit while only 1 other fish was weighed in.  It was the 'rap....it kicked everyone's butt.

Yo zuri pins minnow I have been enjoying, berkley stunna but I lost my only one, have heard good things about the whipper snapper.

Recent h20 ultimate catches, caught atleast 20 bass this week on em with five hitting four pounds. Still using stock hooks and rings but I’m fishing them on 8lb mono with a soft tipped rod. These baits glide really far to the side on a hard jerk and that seemed to make all the difference when the water had been warming up for a couple days in a row and the bass were aggressive. It’s kind of crazy that within a few days I “watched” the bass go from winter mode to pre spawn mode and I hope it stays that way after this cold front.
