| I've had some success with 9" Sledge Jerks. Any of you guys using the smaller 6.75"?
Also, what other jerk baits would you suggest trying? |

| ive done well on the 9" weighted models, very easy to work and pretty durable too. Had some of the 6.75 but thought the action was lacking compared to the 9" IMO |

Location: Sycamore, IL | I like the unweighted 6" Sledge for working fast over submerged weeds. It is very bouyant and has loud rattles. I use it almost like a topwater popper at times and have had success. I would give a Sandcat a shot if you haven't tried one...sorta like a suick with a cool wobble on the rise. |

Location: Uxbridge Ontario | Me being a true suick guy, I have never seemed to figure out how to work it effectively. I have only used the weighted models but I still find them too boyant. How does everyone work it?
I almost cant keep it in the water or off the surface |

They're not meant to stay down in the strike zone like Suicks are. Weighted Suicks compared to weighted Sledge's is not even close to the same. The sledge is WAY more boyant. I went to a lure demo on this lure and showed all the different ways to work it. But never did the guy have it stay under for any amount of time, it always popped right back up. That being said, there is some cool techniques you can use with this bait, quick pops in and out of the water causes a lot of disturbance on the surface. They do catch fish, just don't expect it to act like a suick, cause it wont |
