Technical Specifications

Advanced T.P.E. Construction

The Jerk is constructed from premium T.P.E. material, providing superior softness and flexibility compared to traditional soft plastics. This ultra-supple material allows the lure to move naturally in the water, creating lifelike action that closely resembles injured baitfish or shrimp.

Erratic Predator-Triggering Action

Designed to respond instantly to subtle rod movements, The Jerk delivers sharp darts, sudden twitches, and unpredictable directional changes during retrieval. This erratic action effectively imitates distressed prey and triggers instinctive reaction strikes from predatory fish.

The forked tail remains active even when the lure is paused, gently quivering in current or water movement to maintain attraction throughout the retrieve.

Salt and Fish Scent Infusion

Integrated salt and fish scent increase the lure's appeal by adding both taste and smell to the presentation. This encourages fish to hold onto the bait longer, providing anglers with improved hook-setting opportunities and increased catch rates.
