Q&A

Berkley® PowerBait® Saltwater Jerk Shad™ are larger baits for targeting big reds and speckled trout. With an erratic retrieve, the bait will dart and rest like a wounded baitfish. Can also be jigged in deep water.

Rated 5 out of 5 by webFishrz from Great Product! The Berkley PowerBait Saltwater Jerk Shad is my favorite soft plastic bait by far. It is great for sight fishing the flats, skipping under docks or mangroves, or blind casting to search for fish. It has been effective on trout, snook, redfish, ladyfish, jacks and even flounder. It is easily rigged with a regular twistlock hook or belly-weighted twistlock hook, depending on depth you are fishing. They are very durable and can be used over and over again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by seaspider from Nightfishing port Canaveral I fished the jerk shad at Port Canaveral on 10/18/13 from 2pm - 7am alone from a small craft in varying locations within the port. When thrown under dock lights it produced three undersized Snook. When worked in the open targeting school action it produced 6 Crevalle Jack, the largest measuring 20". When worked on the bottom it produced one 15" Flounder. These lures are especially effective when used in conjuncture with a weighted twist -lock. They mimic finger Mullet and work well during a Mullet run. After about 5 fish, or 2 Jacks an eye or two will fall of the lure, but the fish don't seem to mind. Very pleased

Rated 5 out of 5 by BalugaAko from Best Dropshot lure This is my go to bait for drop shooting for California Halibut from the surf. Caught a bunch of halibut on it and even caught a 40# Black sea Bass from the harbor! Other soft bait I used are bass trix flash trix and zoom fluke but I get more bite on Berkley® PowerBait® Saltwater Jerk Shad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chockpish1 from Great on stripers! I have been using the Arkansas shiner power jerk shad for striped bass. And let me tell you that these work extremely well. I have caught at least six to seven stripers on one shad. Rigged on a 3/8 jig head and twitched and paused, the stripers can't seem to say no! I have also used the watermelon pearl color, and that one works better in the fall. I think it resembles the rainbow smelt that start to run about that time of year. Either way, they work very well! Tight lines, and be safe!

Rated 5 out of 5 by manloves2fish from 5" watermelon/pearl I used this jerk bait with a bait caster, 10 lb.fluorocarbon leader, and a 1/4 oz darter head. It worked wonders on calico and sand bass in saltwater.

what color is best for stripers?

Asked by: Liam150

Everyone has their own preferences but the important thing is that your lure "stand out" so that it will attract the attention of a bass. Yellows, neon green, parrot, pearl white and gold's are the best overall colors for all hours except in the dead of night. During hours of full dark, black, purple or dark blue are better simply because they can be seen easier.

What is the best way to fish this bait?

Asked by: BassPredator

Put it on a jig head that is heavy enough to get it to the bottom and bounce it along bottom. Experiment until you see what speed the fish like best.

what size and pattern hook would you use with these and also what jigheads would you use?

Asked by: anthony72

I use regular jig heads and just enough weight to get me to the bottom. It depends on the depth of the water and current. I use anywhere from 1/8 ounce to 1 ounce
