So, what jerkbaits do you guys think are the best (not best value, best regardless of price) on the market.

I went with the Rogue since it's my top producing jerkbait. The XRap has a good action as well though.

Pointer by far.

I hear that the Megabass Vision is the bomb.  But I'd take a LC Pointer any day.  IMO, the LC Pointer is the best, readily available jerkbait on the market.   I do like Rapalas, too.

X-Rap 8-)

i use the bereky frenzy jerkbait, rapala x rap, rogue, pointer and the x rap alot but here on the 3 rivers the rogue dominates, but most of the lakes around pittsburgh the x rap and pointer does the best but since i fish the 3 rivers alot i voted for the rogue plus its a little cheaper than the pointer

Voted X-Rap and do really like them but if Smithwick had better quality control would have voted different. I like the colors you can get in the Rogues but usually have to go thru a couple before I get one that suspends just right (obsessive compulsive disorder :-[)...

Lucky Craft pointer.  Throws great in the wind.

Never heard of it? Oh, well. A rogue that suspends perfectly, and has the weight transfer "long cast" thing going for it.

My favorite class of lures are jerkbaits. Of the ones I use, I would rank them in this order:

#1  All Pointers

#2  Rapala X-Rap

#3  Rapala Husky Jerk

The Smithwick Rogue has been my #1 producer over the years, but they are not comparable to the three I listed. I still have a substantial collection that I never fish anymore.

I have some fishing time using the X Rap and caught fish with it. I never used anything else so I don't know whats a better producer for catching.

Its tough to beat the Lucky Craft Pointers.  They are fish catching machines.  

A close second and a very cheap alternative for me has been the Bass Pro shops jerkbaits.  Those things catch plenty of fish and they are only like $4 and you can get them for $3 when they are on sale.  

I like the x-Rap, but have never tried the Lucky Craft.  Sounds like I might need to pick up a couple.

X-rap for sure! I've tried pointers and they're not bad, but the x-raps are still better, in my book!

LC Pointers

x-rap just cause its readily available and catches fish for me. If I fished them more I'd probably see what the japenese baits have to offer.

Here on St. Clair, for some reason I have much more success with the X-Raps than the Pointers.

I did not see the Husky Jerk on there so I voted for the next best thing, the X-Rap.

i voted for the LC Pointer. nuff said.

X-Rap for me!

I don'y really fish hard jerkbaits but i have heard that the vission one ten is amazing.  look on tackletour and search vision megabass.  the only bad rating it got was in price.
