Lake Shakamak (IN)

Christian Willen reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Jerkbaits technique and Daiwa Tatula Elite Series Casting Rods - 2018 Release on Lake Shakamak. Additional comments from this report: "Found a good spot on the dam of lenape. Whip that 110 across the contour line and drop off going from 8ft to 16ft right on that edge is we're you'll get bit. Slow twitches with the jerkbait 1 x 2 x 2 with 4-6 second pauses in between "

Shimano Expride B Casting Rods

$279.99 – 289.99

Reported by
OutdoorsWithKai

Lake Minnetonka (MN)

OutdoorsWithKai reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Hard Jerkbaits technique and Shimano Expride B Casting Rods on Lake Minnetonka. Additional comments from this report: "As the weather continues to cool down, the fish stays feeding. Most of my fish came off ripping the jerkbait out of patches of weeds in 8-12FOW and just waiting a second or two before twitching it had them react to it. Having a livescope helped me out as well because I can see them coming out of the weed patches chasing my jerkbait as it rips out of the weeds. Nothing too fancy, but having the right rod (mentioned) helped a ton when fishing a jerkbait. "

Additional comments from this report: "(5/32/2022 water temp 52-56) Fished 8-14 feet on rock reefs looking for sharp turns and breaks in contour lines on my navionics.
