Quick take
A 115mm suspending jerkbait with flash-emitting technology that pauses as a wounded baitfish.
This Jalapeno finish on a 4.5-inch suspending jerkbait is built for bass that hold at a set depth below the surface. The Flash Boost insert adds a flash during the retrieve and as the lure sits still between pulls. The body dives 4 to 6 feet, so it works along shallow cover and the edges of weed beds.
Best for
- Suspended bass in mid-water
- Clear water where flash triggers strikes
- Jerkbait purists targeting larger bass
Skip if
- You fish murky water where flash visibility is limited
- You prefer crankbaits over jerkbaits
Strengths
- Suspends at depth for pause-and-twitch presentations
- Flash Boost technology attracts fish on the retrieve
- Small profile suits bass over other species
Trade-offs
- Jerkbait technique requires active rod work
- Suspending action means precise pause timing matters
- Small profile and diving depth limit casting distance

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.
