Castaic Jerky J Swimbait 7 inch

The Jerky J Swimbait 7" is one of just a handful of soft plastics I rely on when Barramundi fishing in competitions.

Predominately this is a dusk, dawn or full moonlight soft plastic.

My three favorite colours are:

  • Green Shad as in the top of the photo above
  • Boneless Chicken which is a translucent pink colour
  • Blue 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:

  • Mustard Big Game Head Size 12/0 20 gram (7/10 oz)
  • TT Head Hunter / Warrior 8/0 12 gram (3/8 oz)
  • Owner Flashy Swimmer 516-080 10/0 (1/2 oz)

Also I note that when required, as in top example, I also add either a willow or beetle silver or gold spinner mounted on a screw in twist lock.

This a really neat small diving lure that dives down as much as 3 meters.

I particularly like it because it’s a floating lure and if you feel your line or leader touch timber and immediately pause the retrieve the lure rises quick enough it to risen above the timber by the time you restart your retrieve . If it does hook up on timber a soft approach is best and the lure will often release it the line is repeatedly jiggled or flicked to release the snagged hook from the timber.

For bass my favorite colour is P01653 Pinky. This colour has a purple hue which bass love. There is a second colour from the range that I also think will be a winner and that's a translucent barred gold. I am pretty sure that will be great for bass and bream.
