Quick take
A 4-inch jerkbait that suspends 4-5 feet deep and walks the dog on steady retrieves or jerks.
The Live Striped Shad finish on this 4-inch suspending Pointer 100 suits anglers working bass, trout or musky. It holds about 4 to 5 feet down, and short rod twitches make it swing side to side. Brass weights that shift during the cast are part of its design, and the rattle adds sound in the water.

- Bass around offshore structure and drop-offs
- Finesse presentations in cooler water
- Anglers skilled at jerkbait cadence
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
- Jerkbait fishing requires practiced jerking rhythm
- Small size limits appeal to trophy bass
