Quick take
A 3 in jerkbait that suspends at 4-5 feet with tight wobbling motion for tournament-level bass fishing.
The 250 Chartreuse Shad finish gives this 5-inch suspending jerkbait a bright, baitfish-style look. It suspends in roughly the top 4 to 5 feet and has an internal rattle chamber for anglers working bass, trout and musky waters. Its needle-point treble hooks, three of them in all, are ready to fish out of the box.
Best for
- Aggressive strikes in clear to stained water
- Keeping the lure in the strike zone on pause
- Deep diving jerkbait presentations
Skip if
- You prefer floating-to-sinking action
- You need a silent lure
Strengths
- Suspending action keeps the lure in the zone longer
- Tight wobble triggers strikes even when inactive
- Hand-painted finish looks like injured baitfish
Trade-offs

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
