The Ima Flit 100 Jerkbait is the effort of endless research and development. Ima combined Michael Murphy’s biology expertise with its own advanced technology and the Flit 100 was born. The Flit 100, named for its erratic fleeing action and 100mm in length, was designed on the basic premise of “matching the hatch.”
The Ima Jerkbait, designed with a wide back, flat sides, and a narrow stomach, is designed to closely mimic the flat-sided Herring and/or Panfish prey, common in the U.S. The Flit 100 incorporates a realistic finish, a uniquely designed bill for ease of use and specially designed triangular chambers. This creates constant focal points of contact, maximizing vibration and sound consistency. The Ima Flit 100 is the next generation jerkbait designed specifically to trigger strikes and enhance your fishing experience.
Techniques:
- Jerk Pause: Start with slack and end with slack after each series of jerks allowing the bait to glide back and forth.
- Deadsticking: Start out with a couple cranks and jerks to get the bait to desired depth and then pause the lure with slack line.
- Burning: Reel the jerkbait in fast spurts stopping periodically. A very effective technique around shad spawns and schooling fish.

This Evergreen FA Jerkbait is the answer to Morizo’s uncompromising search for tools that lead to a catch. As a tournament fisherman, Shimizu says he only uses tools he is confident will bring about absolute results. Regardless of season or field, this jerkbait has all the features — body shape, lip structure, action, distance, ability to go deep and much more — of an ultimate search bait that works with efficiency under any condition. Its significant vibrations move the water dynamically to attract fish near and far, then with an irregular dart, induces a strike in a lure-in-and-trigger-a-bite action that Shimizu favors. The jerkbait boasts complete mastery when it comes to searching a wide area.
FA-115: 4 1/2" - 5/8oz
FA-87: 3 3/8" - 5/16oz
All of Morizo Shimizu’s theories about jerking is contained in this killer-size jerkbait. We kept the original FA-115 features of distance and action, but added natural bite-inducing vibrations to withstand tougher fishing conditions. The FA-87 takes the original performance of the FA-115 and gives it more natural, whether its in the irregular and wide-angled dart action, the tight wiggle action and pauses of a pumping retrieve, and its use as a bait tackle even at this size thanks to its casting distance. This killer jerkbait has a small body with the versatility to go from stillness to motion, dramatic to subtle, and produce natural vibrations that lead directly to a bite.
The Berkley Flicker Shad Crankbaits feature a rattle and roll, flicker action which mimics fleeing or injured baitfish. This flicker action, along with the built-in rattles, triggers predatory gamefish to strike.
Cover water, then make them commit. The SPRO McStick 110 Jerkbait, designed by bass angler Mike McClelland, combines a weight-transfer system for longer casts with a darting jerkbait action. Work it with rod twitches and pauses to give following fish a chance to strike, whether you're using spinning or baitcasting gear.
Reach Fish Without Rushing the Retrieve
A short cast can leave a lot of fish untouched, especially when you need to cover a bank or reach a distant target. The McStick's weight-transfer design helps you get it out there. Once it lands, vary the cadence rather than simply winding it in: twitch, pause, and watch how fish respond. Casting distance and action still depend on your tackle and retrieve.
The Right Pick If...
You want a hard jerkbait for bass fishing with a long-casting design and a choice of baitfish-inspired and high-visibility finishes. Choose a subtle shade when a natural look suits the water, or a brighter finish when you want the lure to stand out. Exact running depth and suspension behavior are not confirmed here, so don't choose it on those specifications alone.
Best For
- Cast-and-retrieve jerkbait fishing for bass.
- Working points and banks with a twitch-and-pause presentation.
- Matching a natural shad look or trying a brighter color as conditions change.
Key Features
- Designed by professional bass angler Mike McClelland.
- Weight-transfer system intended to support longer casts with spinning or baitcasting gear.

Pick a Look, Then Fish the Cadence
Start with Natural Herring, Ayu, or a shad pattern when a baitfish look fits the situation; try Clear Chartreuse or another bold color when visibility is limited. Select your color using the options and photos above. Cast past your target, work a twitch-pause sequence, and adjust the pause length if fish follow without striking. Inspect the hooks and line tie before each trip.
Tackle Express Tips
- Try a shorter pause first, then lengthen it if fish follow but don't commit.
- Keep some slack after each twitch so the lure can dart rather than simply pull straight ahead.
- Carry a natural and a brighter color to adapt to changing light and water clarity.

Lucky Craft Pointer 65DD SP Jerkbait
The fish are holding just a little deeper than your standard jerkbait can reach. That's exactly where the Lucky Craft Pointer 65DD SP was built to shine. DD stands for Deep Diver — and this compact 2.5" suspending jerkbait dives 5–7 feet, putting it right in the face of bass that are holding just out of reach of the original Pointer 65.
Like all Pointer models, the 65DD is engineered with a specially designed brass weight system that creates a very low center of gravity. Stop the retrieve and the bait doesn't just pause — it wobbles and vibrates in place, emitting a subtle bass-calling vibration that triggers strikes from even the most reluctant fish. A short twitch of the rod tip generates a fluid, underwater walk-the-dog action that seals the deal. With a wider wobble than the standard Pointer 65, the DD version is also a great alternative when fish want a smaller profile than the Staysee series but need the bait pushed a little deeper.
Features
- Deep Diver (DD) bill dives 5–7 feet — deeper than the standard Pointer 65
- Brass weight system creates low center of gravity for wobble-and-vibrate on pause
- Suspending design stays locked in the strike zone
- Wider wobble than the Pointer 65 for added action
- Short rod twitch generates underwater walk-the-dog action
- Compact 2.5" profile — ideal for finesse situations and pressured fish

The "Limit Getter" That Pros Have Trusted for Decades
The Luhr Jensen Speed Trap Crankbait earned its nickname on the tournament trail — pros call it the "Limit Getter" because it covers water fast, stays in the zone, and gets bit. Whether you're burning it over shallow cover or slow-rolling it through structure, the Speed Trap's computer-controlled thin-wall construction produces maximum vibration and stays perfectly balanced at any retrieve speed. It's a search bait, a confidence bait, and a limit bait all in one.
Computer-Controlled Molding = Tournament-Winning Action
The secret to the Speed Trap is its computer-controlled molding process, which creates an ultra-thin-walled body with precise weight distribution. The result is a crankbait that produces intense, high-frequency vibration at slow speeds and stays perfectly balanced at full burn — no rolling, no blowout, no lost action. The round-bend treble hooks are positioned to maximize hookups across the bait's full range of motion.
When Your Crankbait Rolls Out at High Speed
Most crankbaits have a ceiling — push them too fast and they roll over, lose their action, and stop catching fish. The Speed Trap was specifically engineered to eliminate that problem. You can burn it as fast as you want over shallow cover and it stays true, which means you can cover more water, trigger more reaction strikes, and find fish faster than with any bait that has a speed limit.
Two Sizes, 14 Colors, One Proven Design
The Speed Trap comes in 1/8 oz (dives to 5 ft) and 1/4 oz (dives to 8 ft), giving you the flexibility to target fish at different depths with the same proven action. With 14 color options spanning shad, craw, bluegill, and perch patterns, there's a Speed Trap for every water clarity and forage situation you'll encounter.
The Right Pick If...
- You need a search bait to cover water fast on unfamiliar lakes
- You want a crankbait that stays true at high-speed retrieves
- You're targeting bass in shallow to medium-depth cover (5–8 ft)
- You want a proven tournament bait with a deep color selection
Best Fishing Techniques
- High-speed burn over shallow flats and cover
- Steady slow-roll through submerged structure
- Search bait on unfamiliar water — cover water fast to locate fish
- Parallel casting along banks, docks, and laydowns
- Reaction strike fishing in stained or off-color water
Best Conditions
- Shallow to medium-depth water (5–8 ft depending on model)
- Clear to stained water — wide color selection covers all conditions
- Spring pre-spawn and fall feeding periods when bass are aggressive
- Freshwater lakes, reservoirs, rivers, and ponds
Best For
- Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, crappie
- Techniques: Power fishing, search bait, reaction strike crankbait
- Depth range: 1/8 oz = 5 ft | 1/4 oz = 8 ft
Key Features
- Computer-controlled thin-wall molding for maximum vibration
- Won't roll at any retrieve speed — high-speed stable design
- Round-bend treble hooks for solid hookups
- Available in 1/8 oz (5 ft dive) and 1/4 oz (8 ft dive)
- 14 color options: shad, craw, bluegill, perch, and specialty patterns
- Tournament-proven design — featured in Bassmaster magazine
Models & Specs
| Weight | Dive Depth |
|---|---|
| 1/8 oz | ~5 ft |
| 1/4 oz | ~8 ft |
Tackle Express Tips
- Use it as your first cast on new water. The Speed Trap's ability to cover water fast makes it the perfect search bait when you're learning a new lake. Burn it along likely-looking structure and let the fish tell you where they are before you slow down and finesse them.
- Match color to water clarity. In clear water, go with Crystal Tennessee Shad, Near Clear Pearl Shad, or Pearl Silver Scale. In stained or off-color water, reach for Breeding Bluegill, Creek Craw, or Moss Back Craw for better contrast and visibility.
- Don't be afraid to burn it. Most anglers slow down instinctively — but the Speed Trap was built to be burned. A fast, aggressive retrieve triggers reaction strikes from fish that won't chase a slow bait, especially in warmer water.
FAQ
What's the dive depth for each size?
The 1/8 oz Speed Trap dives to approximately 5 feet, and the 1/4 oz dives to approximately 8 feet. Actual depth will vary based on line diameter, rod angle, and retrieve speed — lighter line and a lower rod tip will push the bait deeper.
Can I use this bait at high retrieve speeds without it rolling?
Yes — that's the Speed Trap's defining feature. The computer-controlled thin-wall molding and precise weight distribution keep the bait stable and tracking true at any retrieve speed, from a slow crawl to a full burn.
Which color should I start with?
If you're fishing clear water, start with Crystal Tennessee Shad or Near Clear Pearl Shad. In stained water, Breeding Bluegill or Creek Craw are proven producers. When in doubt, match the primary forage in the lake you're fishing — shad patterns in open water, craw patterns near rocky or muddy bottom.
A new and deeper diving addition to the incredibly effective Rerange series, the Jackall Rerange 110MR Jerkbaits allow you to target fish holding further offshore or in deeper pockets. The Jackall Rerange 110MR’s are a step above other jerkbaits in-terms of innovation and technical performance, they deliver a deadly twitch-driven action that big, bait-hungry fish won’t be able to resist. Engineered with an advanced “TG Zero Friction” weight transfer system, the Jackall Rerange 110MR Jerkbait features a fluororesin covered tungsten weight, which slides from end-to-end to extend casting distance and enhance action.
Unmatched in outright attraction, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbaits produce an erratic, yet balanced lurch that lets bass know that there’s an easy meal within reach.

The Megabass Ito Vision 110 FX Tour Premium Jerkbait combines Megabass’ advanced FX technology with the proven ONETEN body and engineering to create a jerkbait that casts 15-20% farther and has an even more erratic action.
The Variable Resistance Flap Bill, is at the heart of Megabass FX technology. This hinged bill folds in closer to the line tie during casting for a more aerodynamic profile, then flips up and down when you are jerking and pausing the bait for a more erratic option that isn't quite achievable with the standard vision 110 Created based on the demands of the top Megabass US pros, it also responds more dynamically to angler input for even more control and an even wider range of actions.
Available in a range of incredible Megabass colors, the Megabass Ito Vision 110 FX Tour Premium Jerkbait gets extreme. Perfect for high pressured fisheries that requires that secret bait to be erupted out of the box, in order to put fish on the deck time after time!
The Megabass Shading-X R 62 is fueled by a patented balancer system that enables dizzyingly high-pitch action and improved cast performance, elevating the finesse shad to exquisite new heights. Reengineered to perform in Japan’s toughest conditions, the Shading-X R 62 series is built to deliver bites when bass are keyed on precise, high-pitch action. The main spherical weight of the Triangle Counter Balancing System. operates as a traditional moving balancer, increasing cast distance on bait finesse and spinning setups alike.
The upper balancer truly comes alive when twitches cause it to shift along its lateral axis, adding unpredictable dynamism to the Shading-X R’s action. With one fixed weight and two moving balancers, the lure’s center of gravity is dynamically triangulated in every configuration from cast to retrieve, powering the Shading-X’s compelling performance. The thin, tapered body generates a high-pitched vibration that practically bursts at the seams, supercharging the kind of tight action that is often required in finesse situations.
Upon retrieve, the balancers roll into the forward position for an optimal head-down posture, enabling a hair-trigger responsiveness that will even bring the Shading-X R to life with ultra-slow pulls or extra-sensitive angler input. With a fast retrieve, the high-pitch vibration compels targets into decisive reaction bites. The engineering of the Shading-X R 62 series brings disparate parts together in perfect harmony, leveraging dynamic weight triangulation to deliver a new high-pitch predator for the toughest angling conditions.

Berkley Krej 100 Jerkbait
The Berkley Krej 100 does something no other jerkbait does: it rises on the work and slides backward on the pause.

The Small Spook for Fish That Have Seen the Big One
The Heddon Zara Puppy is the smallest walker in the Spook family — 3" and 1/4 oz, fitted with two #6 trebles. Same walk-the-dog action, scaled down for pressured water, small forage, and light tackle. On lakes where every bass has watched a full-size Spook go by, this is the one that still gets bit. Eight colors in stock.
Why Anglers Reach for the Puppy
Downsizing is the oldest fix in fishing, and topwater is where it works best. A 3" bait matches the shad, bluegill fry, and small minnows that fish are actually eating for most of the season, and it presents a target a smaller or more cautious fish will commit to. You trade some average size for a lot more bites.
The Problem With Overlining a Light Bait
At 1/4 oz the Zara Puppy is easy to overpower. Heavy line drags the nose down and flattens the walk; a stiff rod jerks it off its rhythm instead of swinging it. This is a light-line, light-rod bait — fish it that way and it walks beautifully, fish it on a heavy setup and you'll wonder what the fuss is about.
What Sets It Apart
- 3" and 1/4 oz — the smallest walker in the Spook lineup
- Full walk-the-dog action in a downsized body
- Two #6 treble hooks sized to the bait
- Matches shad, fry, and small minnow forage
- Castable on spinning tackle, unlike the heavier models
- Eight colors including Bull Frog and Glitter Shad
The Right Pick If…
- You're fishing clear, calm, heavily pressured water
- The forage in your lake is small and the fish are keyed on it
- You'd rather catch more fish than hold out for one big one
- You fish spinning gear and want a walking bait you can actually cast on it
Where It Sits in the Spook Family
The Zara Puppy is the finesse end. Size up when the situation calls for it:
- Step up to the Zara Spook (4.5") for the standard full-size profile and better average fish.
- Step up to the Super Spook (5", 7/8 oz) when it's windy or stained and you need sound and distance.
- Split the difference with the Super Spook Jr. (3.5", 1/2 oz) — a half-inch and a quarter-ounce up, with an internal rattle the Puppy doesn't have.
Best Techniques
- Slow walk on light line: The core presentation — short soft taps, plenty of slack, no hurry
- Skip and walk: Light enough to skip under docks and overhanging limbs, then walk it out
- Schooling fish: When bass are pushing small bait to the surface, this matches the size they're actually chasing
- Pockets and grass edges: Small profile works holes and edges a bigger bait fouls in
Best Conditions
- Clear, calm water — a flat surface is where the small profile shines
- Heavily pressured lakes and community water
- Late summer and fall, when fish are keyed on small shad and fry
- Docks, laydowns, grass pockets, and shallow shoreline cover
Best For
- Species: Largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, crappie, larger panfish
- Techniques: Slow walking, skipping, schooling-fish matching
- Environments: Clear lakes, reservoirs, ponds, docks, laydowns, grass pockets
Key Features
- 3" length, 1/4 oz
- Two #6 treble hooks
- Downsized Zara profile with full walking action
- Light enough for spinning tackle
- Eight colors: G Fin/Shad, Clear, Bone, Baby Bass, Black Shiner, Shore Minnow, Glitter Shad, Bull Frog

Tackle Express Tips
- Go lighter than you think: 6-8 lb mono or 20 lb braid with a mono leader. Heavier line pulls the nose down and the walk falls apart — the single most common reason people say the Puppy "doesn't work."
- Medium-power rod, not medium-heavy: You need a tip soft enough to swing a quarter-ounce bait. A heavy topwater rod will overpower it.
- Match the hatch literally: When bass are blowing up on shad you can see, this is usually closer to the right size than a full Spook. Bring it out when the big bait draws follows but no eats.
FAQ
Is this too small to catch good fish?
No. Big bass eat small forage constantly, especially on pressured water. You'll catch more fish overall on the Puppy and give up some average size — many anglers keep one tied on specifically for when the full-size Spook is drawing follows without commitments.
Can I throw it on spinning gear?
Yes, and often you should. At 1/4 oz it's right in the range for a medium-power spinning rod with 6-8 lb mono, which is one of the main advantages over the heavier models in the family.
Puppy or Super Spook Jr.?
The Puppy is 3" and 1/4 oz with two #6 trebles; the Super Spook Jr. is 3.5" and 1/2 oz with an internal rattle. Choose the Puppy for the smallest profile, the quietest presentation, and light spinning gear. Choose the Jr. when you want a little more size, casting weight, and sound.
