Castaic Jerky J Swimbait 5 inch

 

The Jerky J Swimbait 5" is the little brother of the &' version. It's a great lure to employ at those times when barra are looking for smaller baits or when smaller baits that land softly are required.

My three favorite colours are:

  • Salt and pepper as in the top of the photo above
  • Golden shiner
  • Green Shad as in the bottom of the photo above

The three hooks that I rig this paddle tail soft plastic on are from top to bottom in the photo above:

  • Owner Flashy Swimmer 5/0
  • An alternative is to rig it on a 5/0 Owner twistlock to which has been added a few turns of lead wire that has well coated with a couple of layers of red nail polish.
  • Owner Nitro Saltwater Pro 5/0 1/6 oz
