a technique in sport fishing where a lure resembling injured prey is jerked or twitched to attract predatory fish
What is "jerkbaiting"?
Jerkbaiting is a fishing technique that uses a type of artificial lure called a jerkbait, designed to mimic the movement of an injured or struggling fish. The fisherman casts the jerkbait into the water and then jerks the rod in quick, sharp movements, causing the lure to twitch. This action attracts fish by simulating the behavior of prey that is easy to catch. Jerkbaiting is particularly effective for species like bass, pike, and walleye, and is often used in both freshwater and saltwater fishing. It requires skill in timing and rod control to make the bait move in a convincing way.
