Making a case for the Husky Jerk

July 27th 2011 01:49
Since this guy talked jerk baits in general, I thought it might be apropos to have a vid of him espousing the virtues of the Rapala Husky Jerk.


Although I'm certainly not a jerk bait angler, a few of them are in my tackle box and Rapala's Husky Jerk has grown to be my favorite
.

Rapala Husky Jerk
The Husky Jerk I use is illustrated at the right. You'll notice a difference in color. I'm usually not big on lure color but, in the case of Rapalas, I'll give them the benefit or the doubt and admit I need to make a change.


One thing I like about the Husky Jerk is that it suspends which comes in very handy if predatory fish are feeding in suspending schools. The other thing I like is the size. Despite the fact different lengths are available, I like a bait around 11 centimeters long. The vid is 13 cm. but, when you're talking centimeters, that's not much of a difference. It's a good size for rivers, lakes, or streams, while being big enough for off shore work if you want to hit the surf.


I have to admit--I'm like a lot of anglers out there; I like Rapala Lures--I just don't like the price!




Remember to take the hooks outta yer pocket before ya sit down!

Hair rigs and knotless knots

April 30th 2009 02:02
Since carp are one of the most abundant fish in the world, I thought you may want to check out this video from Matt Hayes. He's illustrating a basic rig for carp fishing, a hair rig.

I've tried to research carp quite a bit and some authorities say to use braided line for a carp rig. Some like fluorocarbon. This video suggests mono so, that's what I'm using this season!
