What's your favorite small jerkbait
Jerkbaits are my favorite baits to fish, especially if I'm targeting multiple species on a single trip. My favorite ul or small jerkbaits are the old version of the yo zuri pins minnow. There were two sizes that I used to own. The smallest was 2" and very lightweight( maybe 1/16oz) and the bigger was almost 3". I've been searching for years and buying the old style pins minnows, especially the small ones. Well, some stuff happened and long story short I had to sell most of mine not long ago. I'm going to restart my collection and search again, but I'm also curious if anyone else has any other favorite jerkbaits in the same size range that suspend or float that they would recommend?

Re: What's your favorite small jerkbait
they still make the small pin's. they also make the 2 3/4" in sinking....but i haven't seen the suspending pin's in a while. i still have a few yo zuri pin's suspenders and they are my favorites from the series. the 2" sinking was a great trout bait for me, too.
lucky craft makes some tiny pointers which suspend....just a bit pricey for what they are.
rapala has an UL minnow which is a sinker but casts well for its size. i've had the tail hook ripped out of the UL shad on a few baits...not sure if the hook hanger on the UL minnow is any better. just fyi.
lunkerhunt mosquito and the duo realis rozante 63sp are 2 more to add to your list.

My favorites are Rapala F-3's , I sometimes go with the F-5 . I mostly cast ,twitch , slow retrieve. Awesome bait for big bluegills , if I can keep the LM's away .
I like small Husky Jerks in the small size , for when I'm a actually fishing for the LM's . Gillchaser

Tons of Jdm options if you'd want to venture that direction.

Mines would be rapala x-rap xr6. Only negative thing about it is that it's a pickerel magnet lol other than that its an awesome little lure.

Not really. Just browsing various jdm retailers and manufacturers. Enough to make your head spin and drain the bank account real quick.CM_Stewart wrote:Do you have a couple favorites among the JDM options?Hogsticker2 wrote:Tons of Jdm options if you'd want to venture that direction.

Dynamic Lures HD Trout. Kind of a "sleeper" bait ... doesn't get the notoriety of other baits, but is a solid performer. 2.25", 1/10 oz.
Re: What's your favorite small jerkbait
my favorite smaller jerkbait is the 110 jr. it is not the smallest but it is about as small as I go for jerkbaits
gone fishin! borderline 11!

Re: What's your favorite small jerkbait
I picked up a few Megabass X55's or Trick 55's. They are UL baits and have some really spiffy finishes. I've caught some really night bass on them as well. I am also partial to the old #5 Rapala if you consider that a jerkbait.
