Here's a video describing how to use a jerk bait...
Also called wobblers, or floater divers, jerk baits are usually a hard bait resembling grown fish or minnows. Colors also vary greatly but safe bets are always, something in silver, gold, white, olive or even bronze, or a combination of any or all of those colors.
As the video suggests, throw the lure out out and then retrieve it with a jerk, jerk, jerk or a jerk/pause, jerk/pause, jerk/pause--taking up slack when the jerk bait is paused. Bites often occur when the bait is paused so be ready for a battle.
You'll find two varieties of jerk baits--diving and suspending. Either type of bait will have a diving lip on the front so you'll have to read the packaging to get exactly what you want.
Suspending jerk baits are really neat because after they go beneath the water, they hover until you pull the line to move them and they often trigger strikes when fish are sluggish. Diving or sinking jerk baits are going to rise or fall on the pause and are often effective for aggressive fish.
