Dont forget about Smithwick Rattlin rogue!

In my opinion the Classic Rogue that was released after KVD won the classic is the best warm water jerkbait ever. Go with LC staysee 90sp and pointer 128 before the spawn.

My favorite jerkbaits are the Pointer 78 and 100, Staysee 80 and 90 and the McStick from SPRO.

Best colors for me are Chartreuse Shad, Ghost Minnow and American Shad.

For price  you can't beat the Smithwick suspending rogue. Rapala husky jerk & xrap work well. I also love using LC pointer 128SP , pointer 100 DD & staysee 90 SP.

X-Rap

just love how it twirl and dances and the long suspending pauses I can do.

Oh, you said jerkbait not jerk.  

Then I will go with a black/gold rapal #6.

Some of my favorites would include X Raps, Husky Jerks & Pointers. A couple of my lesser known but just as deadly weapons would include the HMKL K-1 minnow, Jackall DD sqirrel & Mask. One that I tried last year that shows a lot of promise is the IMA Flit. The one that I think is the most underated is the Lucky Craft Flash minnow, this would be the one that I would use in place of a Roque when I want a bigger shallow running jerkbait.

Xraps and Pointers seem to fill in all the blanks in the jerkbait department for me. All you need to do is a hook change and add water...

I see no reason to change the VMC hooks on either of these lures.

remembered one more...original rapala floater in silver/black.

killer #1 in my panic box.

If the LC one'd didn't cost me $20, it would be my favourite so I have to go with the X-Raps.

The VMC's are strong and sharp- no question but Gamakatsu stingers seem to set better or it could just be a confidence thing...

POINTER 100 and 78 hands down

I planning on stocking up on some more jerkbaits for the next prespawn and summer. What do you guys recommend i get? I'm mainly a smallmouth hunter, but i occasionally target for LMB too, so any jerkbaits from the 2 1/2 '' - 4'' will suffice (nothing too big or too finesse).

thx ;D

Make sure you put a few LC Pointer 78s in your collection. Regular depth and the deeper runner. Chart Shad.
