I love fishing big baits looking for the bigger fish. Has anyone tried bigger jerkbaits in the cold water season? I’m still working on my jerkbait skills

i was looking at the Megabass Kantana

Have had some killer days smallmouth fishing with a kanata we the heavier hooks put on it that tactical bassin recommended. Heavier hooks make it not rise as much 

Bigger baits catch bigger fish! Additionally, by the fall the baitfish are bigger so you can get away with bigger jerkbaits.

I do well fall, winter and spring on swimbaits. So maybe a  bigger jerkbait should be added to my arsenal. When I mean cold, I’m in Massachusetts so it gets pretty cold 

I have always had much better success with larger jerk baits for quality smallmouth. I prefer 3/4 oz & 1 oz baits as my go to. 

I have not tried the Kantana yet but I have had good luck with the Vision 110 Max LBO. Mat Shad has been favorite color in this bigger bait.

LC 128 accounted for my first Brown bass over 6 lbs.

American Shad I do believe.

I have really good success with a 127 MR Slender Pointer, almost as big as the 128 pointer. 

Over looked today is Bomber 6” Long A, 7/8 oz.

I fish my jerkbaits much like a crankbait when I’m fishing them. Not the jerkbait fisherman y’all are. But the upsizing thing makes sense. 
 

I fish a Shad Rap all season, cool water and warm water. I’m throwing bigger now for the same reason. My season is winding down and I’m fishing for the bigger one. 

Ito Shiner for me! Casts a mile and typically entices one of the bigger spots out of the school.

I have 2 Duo 120s and 2 LiveTargets that are both in the 5" range. I need to give them a shot.

If you want BIG, Daiwa makes a 6.75" salt pro minnow.

I’ve used those in saltwater. It never crossed my mind to use them in freshwater! 

I took a couple of LC Pointer 158's to Mexico last trip.

We have had solid success with the 128 previously so . . . . .

Bigger is better right ?

No bites for me with it.

And this thing is Huge.

Have your Wheaties in advance of 'working' this one.
