Quick take
A 4-inch jerkbait that suspends 4-5 feet deep and walks the dog on steady retrieves or jerks.
This 4-inch Pointer 100 in Pearl Threadfin Shad is a suspending jerkbait that runs about 4 to 5 feet deep. Pausing the retrieve lets it hang level, and short rod twitches make it swing side to side. Its built-in rattle adds sound, and it is also labeled for trout and musky anglers.

Skip if
- You prefer lures that do not require finesse technique
- You fish shallow water; this bait dives too deep
Strengths
- Suspends motionless between jerks, triggering strikes
- Realistic aurora black finish with precise detail
- Fish-attracting vibration even when suspended
Trade-offs
