I was wondering...... how many of you guys use 6" jakes as part of your arsenal? I have 6 & 8" that I use but the 6 is a standby confidence bait. Everyone talks about going big are those just the ones who are talking loudest and the rest are just too emabrassed to admit they use the "little" ones.

Thanks,

Jacob,

I like to use the 6" Jakes early in the year; but I also use them and they definitely work all summer long (probably into the fall too). I typically like bigger baits as well and throw the 10" Jake quite a bit in summer and fall.

10" & 14" Jakes.... I am typically on big fish waters known for pumping out trophies and I want to put a big bait in front of them. It's funny that after using a 14" Jake, the 10" ones don't look or feel that large.

10" Jakes are my most productive. Lat time I threw a 6" was probably 7-8 years ago.

8" for twitching,10" for trolling,6" hangs on the lure wall...

10" Jakes for trolling, and sometimes ripping, but usually the 8" for twitching. Not sure if I've used a 6" in the last ten years. I probably would catch fish on the 6", but I'm more confident with the bigger ones. I will troll the 14" in the fall or on Canadian shield lakes, where the forage is larger.
