Jerkbait

Jerkbaits and glidebaits for pike, bass and predators

Choose your jerkbait or glidebait according to depth, density and action: sinking models to reach deeper water, suspending lures to hold during pauses, S-swimming or sliding baits to trigger pike, and compact sizes for bass, perch or fish feeding on small prey.

This category gathers hard lures designed for rod pulls, pauses, controlled retrieves and direction changes. You will find compact jerkbaits, larger predator models and glidebaits able to swim in wide S curves or slide sideways to trigger following fish.

How to choose a jerkbait or glidebait?

Start with size, weight, density and the amount of water the lure moves. A compact jerkbait stays accurate and versatile. A heavier glidebait casts far, pushes more water and is better suited to pike, big bass and active predators feeding on larger baitfish.

  • Compact jerkbait: perch, bass, active zander and precise fishing around smaller forage.
  • Sinking jerkbait: reaches deeper layers and keeps contact in the strike zone.
  • Suspending jerkbait: holds during pauses, useful for following or wary fish.
  • Glidebait: wide S action, side slides and marked pauses for pike and big predators.

How to fish these hard lures?

A jerkbait is worked with short or sharp rod pulls to make it dart, stop and change direction. A glidebait often needs a more controlled retrieve, with pauses, speed changes and small rod taps to accentuate the S action.

Pauses are often decisive. They keep a suspending lure in the strike zone, let a sinking model drop to the right layer, and break the rhythm of a glidebait when a fish follows without committing.
