Berkley Stunna 112 Jerkbait

The Berkley Stunna 112 Jerkbait combines sharp darting action with a natural slow sink that keeps the presentation working after you stop moving the rod. Developed with Bassmaster Classic champion Hank Cherry, it gives bass anglers a way to follow an aggressive burst with a subtle falling pause, especially when fish follow a bait without committing.

A single tungsten weight-transfer system helps with casting distance, including in adverse conditions. Once the bait reaches its working zone, short rod snaps create wide darts and easy 180-degree head turns. Cast along a point or a baitfish-holding bank, work a few quick twitches, then let the pause become part of the retrieve rather than dead time.

Keep the Pause Working for You

Unlike a floating jerkbait that rises at rest, the Stunna slowly sinks when paused. That movement can help tempt neutral or inactive fish, but it also means you need to watch your pause length around shallow cover and bottom. Choose it when you want a sinking pause rather than a bait that stays suspended in place.

The Right Pick for a Twitch-and-Pause Bite

Best for: largemouth and smallmouth bass, cast-and-jerk presentations, and working baitfish areas along points, banks and open-water edges. Start in clear to lightly stained water where fish can track the bait. Try longer pauses for reluctant fish and a quicker cadence when bass respond to an escaping baitfish presentation.

What Makes the Stunna Stand Out

• Developed with Bassmaster Classic champion Hank Cherry.
• Lifelike action and a design focused on casting distance and durability.
• Single tungsten weight-transfer system helps deliver longer casts.
• Strong darting action with easy 180-degree head turns.
• Natural slow sink on the pause targets neutral and inactive fish.

Stunna 112 Models & Specs

Shared specifications apply across the listed colors. Running depth and sink behavior vary with line, retrieve and fishing conditions.

Get the Dart Without Pulling the Bait Straight

Start with a few turns of the reel to get the bait down, then use short rod-tip snaps followed by a little slack. Reel only enough to regain control before the next twitch. Experiment with single twitches and two-twitch sequences before changing colors.

For a manageable fluorocarbon main line, consider Seaguar Invizx Fluorocarbon Line. If you prefer another fluorocarbon option for your jerkbait setup, compare Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line. Match line strength to your rod, cover and target fish.

Tackle Express Tips

• Test the sink beside the boat or bank before your first long cast so you can judge a safe pause length.
• Change cadence before changing baits. A single twitch and a longer pause can give the same lure a very different presentation.
• Try the Perch finish around perch forage, or a lighter baitfish-style finish such as Hankie Pankie when that better matches what bass are feeding on.
