Jackall

Make a fleeing baitfish the easiest target on the surface. The Jackall Riser Bait 007 uses an upward-angled metal lip to climb toward the surface on the retrieve, then skitter and skip like a minnow trying to escape. Its erratic, panicked action gives bass a moving target to chase and creates the kind of surface commotion that can turn feeding activity into a topwater strike.

At 2.75 inches and 5/16 oz, the 007 offers a compact baitfish profile with two sharp Japanese treble hooks. Choose it when fish are chasing small forage near the top and you want a lively escape action rather than a slow pop-and-pause presentation.

More Than a Quiet Wake

This is not simply a subtle subsurface wake bait. The upward metal lip is designed to bring it up quickly and generate an erratic skipping action across the surface. That movement is its main advantage when bass are willing to chase. When fish want a nearly stationary target, a slower popper or soft-plastic presentation may be the better choice.

Put It in Front of Chasing Fish

Best for: surface-feeding largemouth and smallmouth bass, schooling-fish situations, compact baitfish presentations, and covering open water with a moving topwater. Try it around visible bait schools, points, and open pockets where you have room to retrieve without fouling the trebles. Low light and overcast conditions are good starting opportunities, but visible feeding activity is the stronger cue.

For a different surface cadence, keep a Heddon Zara Spook available as a walking-bait alternative. If fish stop chasing on top, a Zoom The Fluke 4-inch offers a soft-plastic follow-up.

The Details Behind the Skip

• Upward-angled metal lip: creates lift during the retrieve rather than driving the lure downward like a conventional diving bill.
• Erratic surface action: imitates a baitfish skittering away from predators.
• Compact profile: a small-forage option for bass feeding near the surface.
• Two Japanese treble hooks: factory-equipped for fishing straight from the package.
• Eight color choices: select your preferred finish from the available variants.

007 Models & Specs

Let the Lip Create the Escape

Cast beyond the feeding area when practical, take up slack, and begin retrieving to bring the bait toward the surface. Start with a consistent retrieve, then adjust your speed until it produces the skittering action you want. You do not need to force a traditional walking-bait rhythm to make the upward lip work. Use tackle rated for a 5/16-oz lure, with enough give to help keep treble-hooked fish connected.

Tackle Express Tips

• Watch the bait first: make a short test retrieve beside the boat or bank to find a speed that produces the desired rise and skip.
• Cast beyond the commotion: retrieve through the edge of feeding activity instead of landing directly on top of it.
• Stay composed on the strike: keep reeling until you feel the fish, then load the rod smoothly rather than reacting only to the splash.

Before Your First Cast

Is the Riser Bait 007 a topwater lure?
Yes. Its upward-angled metal lip brings it toward the surface on the retrieve, where it creates an erratic skipping action. It should not be described as a bait designed never to break the surface.

How is it different from a walking bait?
The Riser Bait uses its metal lip and retrieve to create a rising, fleeing-baitfish presentation. A traditional walking bait relies on rod cadence for its side-to-side surface movement.

When should I choose the 007?
Choose it when bass are chasing small baitfish near the surface and you want an active, compact topwater presentation. Switch approaches if fish consistently prefer a slower or subsurface target.

Does it come with hooks?
Yes. The Riser Bait 007 comes equipped with two Japanese treble hooks.

The amazing detail and incredible action of the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is unmatched by any other jerkbait.  This 110 size jerkbait will dive about 4 feet while making a high pitched rolling action.  When twitched and jerked, the darting action has purpose and won't have regular movements enticing more strikes.  

Engineered with an advanced “TG Zero Friction” weight transfer system, the Jackall Rerange 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 Jerkbait produces an erratic, yet balanced lurch that lets bass know that there’s an easy meal within reach. Offered in a number of highly detailed colors, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is built with advanced internals that produce superior performance.

The advanced, zero friction weight transfer system allows anglers to cast farther and bring the fish to the bait for an easy catch. With realistic paint jobs and the right action, the Jackall Rerange Jerkbait is an excellent choice for anglers looking to score big.

• Compact Metal Body: Compact design allows for long casts to maximize your fishing
• Original Jackall Blade: The rear blade gives out flashes and vibration. The bearing swivel allows it to move better with a lift and fall technique
• Special Tube: located in the rear, this special tube reduces line tangles

The Jackall Pompadour topwater wake bait features two unique metal wings that, upon casting, tuck away tight to the body for those long casts. Once the lure hits the water and you begin the retrieve, the metal wings open up creating a very unique wobble and a huge wake.

On the rear of the bait there is a pivoting propeller that slides back and forth creating a deep gurgling sound and leaving a tantalizing trail of bubbles. This, combined with the metal wings and the bulky body of the bait means that this lure displaces A LOT of water and will call fish up from even the deepest depths.

The Jackall Pompadour is sure to be a killer during those summertime night tournaments.

Key Features:

• Realistic Profile and Action:
  The Driftfry’s slim baitfish profile, detailed scale pattern, and 3D eyes mimic the look and movement of natural forage. Its subtle side-to-side darting motion, especially on hover or free rig setups, perfectly replicates a dying or distressed baitfish.

  The slit on the underside makes it easy to rig with a hover-strolling jig head, dropshot, small ball-head jig, or even weightless with an offset hook for a stealthy approach.

• Scent-Infused Formula:
  Pre-loaded with Jackall’s signature scent to encourage longer holds and increased strikes, especially when finesse techniques call for minimal movement and maximum realism.

The Jackall TN 80 Lipless Crankbaits has unique features that you won't find in any other lipless crankbait.  It features a Tungsten Mouth System on the lip that allows the lure to stand up when it hits the bottom.  This creates more vibration and a greater sound since a space is created within the inside of the bait.

The unique design of the bait allows it to have very good balance for slow retrieves when tough fishing conditions dictate a slower finesse approach.  It casts extremely well allowing you to cover more water and catch more fish.  We like to crawl it on the bottom like jig in the winter and rip it through the grass in the summer.  Tie one on the next time you get on the water, you'll see the difference.

The Jackall Keeburn Blade Bait is comprised of a unique mixture of metal and circuit board material that results in an amplified vibration. Sending reverberations through your hand the moment the reel handle starts to turn, the Jackall Keeburn Blade Bait’s head remains still while the bait shimmies, stabilizing the bait at high speeds.

Offered in a number of high quality finishes, the Jackall Keeburn Blade Bait uses a new take on traditional blade bait design to achieve a strong wobble and unmatched attraction.

There's a band of water most lures ignore. Not the surface, not two feet down — the few inches just underneath, where bass sit looking up at a topwater bait and refuse to break through for it.

The 012 is the loud version of the answer. A metal lip angled up forces the bait toward the surface on the retrieve, and at 4.7 inches it throws a rolling wake with real push and flash — pulling fish from distance without ever asking them to leave the water.

Short version: 4.7", 1-1/8 oz, subsurface wake bait, two hooks. The big-profile Riser Bait.

Not a Topwater — and That's the Point

Fish boil behind a walking bait, push a wake at it, and turn off at the last second. They're up, they're interested, and they will not eat something on the surface.

A riser bait gives them the same rising target one layer down, where they can eat it without leaving the water. Jackall's own framing: it's for bass hunting upward but ignoring traditional topwater.

Fish it when the topwater bite teases you and dies.

Why the Big One

• Reach. Over an ounce of bait casts a long way, and the wake it throws calls fish from further than the 70mm version can.
• Covering water. Expansive flats, drop edges, feeding lanes — the 012 is a search bait for shallow zones.
• Bigger fish, bigger forage. 4.7 inches matches full-size shad and herring rather than the small stuff.
• Visibility. Stronger push and more flash, which is what you want when fish are scattered or the water isn't clean.

What the 012 Means

It's the length in millimetres. The 012 is 120mm and the 007 is 70mm — Japanese naming convention, not a model year.

How to Work It

Steady retrieve. The lip does the work — no rod cadence needed, unlike a walking bait that has to be fed rhythm.

Speed controls depth and wake. Faster brings it tighter to the film and increases the push; slower lets it run a little deeper. Find the level the fish are at and hold it.

Let it sink. Count it down and retrieve steady and the same upward lip gives it a rising, erratic track well under the surface. On days fish won't come up at all, that's often the bite.

007 or 012?

Start with the 007 if you're new to riser baits — it fishes on tackle most anglers already own. Step up when you know you need the distance.

Fishing It Around Santa Clarita

A big, long-casting wake bait earns its keep when stripers are boiling out of reach and nothing on top gets eaten. We publish Castaic Lake fishing reports with current conditions — worth a read before you drive out.

Picking a Color

Recommended Gear

• Rod: medium-heavy, moderate action, 7' or longer. This is over an ounce of bait — a light rod folds on the cast. A fast tip pulls trebles on the strike.
• Line: braid to a fluorocarbon or mono leader. Fluoro is fine here — unlike a true topwater, this bait isn't fighting to stay on the surface.

Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew

• Don't bend the bill. The upward lip is the entire mechanism. Bend it and the bait won't rise or track.
• Use it as your follow-up. When a fish boils on your walking bait and misses, throw this at the same spot. Same fish, one layer down.
• Vary speed before you change color. Retrieve speed sets depth and wake — that's your main adjustment.
• Wait to feel weight. Strikes come from below; you'll often see the bulge before you feel the fish.

Common Mistakes

• Undergunned rod. The most common reason this bait disappoints — 1-1/8 oz needs a rod that can load it.
• Expecting surface blowups. It runs under the film. Most strikes are a bulge or a wake, not a splash.
• Working it like a walking bait. No rod cadence required. Reel and let the lip do it.
• A bent or tweaked lip. Once the bill is out of true, the bait is finished.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it a topwater?
Not exactly. It runs just beneath the surface with a rolling wake — Jackall built it for bass hunting upward that are ignoring traditional topwater.

What does "012" mean?
The length in millimetres — 120mm, or 4.7". The 007 is 70mm.

What rod do I need?
Medium-heavy, moderate action, 7' or longer. At 1-1/8 oz this is a real load.

007 or 012?
007 for a subtle wake in clear or pressured water on standard tackle. 012 when you need reach, volume, and a bigger profile.

How do I fish it?
Steady retrieve. The lip does the work; speed controls how close to the surface it runs and how much wake it throws.

Can I fish it deeper?
Yes — let it sink and retrieve steady. It tracks with a rising, erratic action down there.

What species does it catch?
Largemouth and smallmouth bass primarily, and stripers feeding near the surface.

Why did my bait stop running right?
Check the lip. It's the whole mechanism, and a bend changes how the bait tracks.

JACKALL designed the Jackall B-Crawl Swimmer Jig as a swim jig to fish near brush piles and shallow cover — a method called "Bush Crawl." By adjusting the ratio of tungsten in the jig head, Jackall engineers were able to enhance the jig's weight while keeping the size of the jig head the same to provide consistent lure action.

The flat-sided head shape emphasizes a rolling action while also making the B-CRAWL easier to skip. Both the v-shaped wire guard and placement of the line tie enable anglers to fish effectively through cover while still providing anglers with increased hookup ratios. The B-CRAWL Swimmer is the perfect swim jig to catch trophy bass in or around cover.
