| Aaron,
I typically throw jointed baits at night with the lone exception being the Slammer 10" Deep Minnow.Lots of vibration and thump.Bill made me a couple custom 10" Jointed this winter that I can't wait to throw.Good stuff.For me, it's all about the sound/vibration at night.Dark water or clear, 1st choice is jointed.I feel I can also work a jointed bait slower without losing any action as well.

Location: Eau Claire, WI | Depends on the situation. Agree with Steve's night fishing theory posted above.
For twitching I prefer straight. For short-line trolling I like jointed. For general cranking I like straight, I think I can feel the bottom/struction better with a straight model, but there are times the fish prefer jointed and I'll mix it up to see what they like that day. I have found that I like small jointed Ernie's and Depthraiders during post cold front conditions, move it slower and still get good vibration.
But for night fishing... I prefer jointed. |
