Check out Duo Realis.  The 100sp has a rounder body like a Pointer and doesnt have a WT system, but casts very well, where the 120sp has WT system, the flat sides and action similar to the Vision 110.  The Duo 110sp is kind of like the 120, but is a little rounder and has a lazier action.

The Duo Realis jerkbaits are phenomenal,  I love throwing the 110sp and the 120sp at ice out absolutely killer presentation and sale promotions usually apply.

The silent pointer 95 is so underrated, can be twitched or ripped, gets down a little deeper than some standard jerkbaits, and actually has way more of a Shad profile than the 110 style baits and very few people throw it, if h20 brings the ultimate jerkshad back I would also highly recommend it. The kvd 200 is a great shallow diving aggressive jerkbait, haven’t had a ton of success on the 300 but lots of guys catch giants with them. The duo 110 and the berkley stunna are ones that I have recently picked up, haven’t thrown them much yet but they have both caught fish for me and have good action. The pointer 78 is a great small jerkbait too.

There are a lot of different baits mentioned but I doubt I ever move away from LC pointers.

For a deep diving suspender, I would try the Rapala Shad Rap RS. They make a great perch color and this bait really works for me. Now I only use the chrome black back but it is a great cold water bait.

Duo Realis Rozante 77 sp.  My goto bait of choice no doubt regardless of price point.  Best search bait without a doubt and skunk repellent.

Rapala husky jerk in glass perch color either regular suspend or DD suspend absolutely kills them. I think it caught over 20 smallies over 6 lbs in my boat including one at 7-2. The DD model in the largest size was the ticket for Lake Erie smallie in the 15-25 foot depths.

You can't hardly go wrong with an old school Rouge or Rattling Rouge. You could get two of them for $16.00. I have Megabass, Lucky Craft, Duo Realis, Rapala, Strike King etc, etc in my jerkbait box but I always save room for Rouge's.

Another fan of the Husky Jerk. Great perch color. Can be had in standard or deep versions. 

Had Husky Jerks and Rogues, want some new life in my jerkbait box (post 2010 or so). I like to try new things and experiment. Also added the Stunna, KVD and Rerange to my list of options. Trying to narrow it down. I have the Ripstop, X-Rap, Shadow Rap Shad, and a fluke (if they count).

Should have probably mentioned it, rhe main forage in my lake is perch and bluegill.

Big fan of the 6th Sense Provoke and Berkley Stunna. The Strike King 300 has been my big fish jerkbait the past several winters though and the Duo Rozante 77 is great when I want a smaller bait, although I've been using the Megabass Nanahan a lot this year also with great results. 

If you're looking for a good deal on Berkley baits, check out the latest sales thread in this section, look to the latest few posts for a 50% off code for purefishing.com (parent company of Berkley).  I picked up several Stunnas for $7.50 each after the discount (along with a ton of other stuff).  I lost a few Megabass 110s last summer.  I was sad.  I really did like the Megabass 110s, and am hopeful that I'll like the Stunna too.

Are the Nanahan and Rozante 77 roughly the same size? Those are both getting ordered the second I have the extra money.

Pretty close. Rozante is a little fatter and heavier, but I fish both on spinning gear so it's not an issue for me.

Bomber 13A is great,Husky Jerk also is a favorite.

Yozuri 3db 110 and the 90 size are great options, Rapala X rap is also good.

hard to beat KVD jerk baits for the $

Kvd jerk baits and don’t forget about the smithwicks which, are about $7-8 a piece. 

Yo-Zuri 3DB 110 and 110-Deep
