The soft jerkbait is one of the most versatile and effective finesse presentations in bass fishing — a buoyant, paddle-free soft plastic with a subtle side-to-side dart on a twitched retrieve that triggers strikes from bass, stripers, pike, walleye, and virtually any predator that feeds on baitfish. Unlike hard jerkbaits, soft jerkbaits can be fished weightless, on a weighted swimbait hook, on a jig head, or as a drop shot trailer — adapting to whatever depth and presentation the fish demand on a given day.
The Baitfish & Soft Jerkbaits collection at Angler's Pro Tackle covers 49 products across 11 brands with an exceptional range of body styles, sizes, and color options. Lunker City anchors the collection with 21 products built around two iconic soft jerkbait families. The Slug-Go is one of the most storied soft jerkbaits ever produced — a long, slender bait with a dramatically erratic dart and glide action that has caught bass for decades in sizes from 3 inches to 12 inches. Available in pre-rigged configurations with weighted hooks at 9-inch/3oz and 12-inch/3oz and 12-inch/2oz for anglers who want a ready-to-fish setup, and in unrigged configurations from 3-inch through 9-inch for custom rigging. The Fin-S Fish and Fin-S Shad series cover the baitfish-profile finesse side — slimmer, more subtle bodies with a natural minnow silhouette in sizes from 2.5-inch through 7-inch for scaled presentations from panfish to largemouth. The Freaky Fish and Fat Fin-S Fish round out the Lunker City lineup with wider body and tail variations for different action profiles. Just Lures Fishing contributes 15 products centered on the JerkN Minnow in 5-inch in chartreuse, white with silver glitter, and green shiner — value-priced jerkbaits in proven shad and baitfish colorways. XCITE Baits brings the X-Shad, a compact baitfish profile soft jerkbait. Lanier Baits covers the Jerk Shad and Hover Shad — two regional favorites from a Southern brand with a strong bass fishing following. G-Ratt Baits, GRANDEBASS, Hendrix Fishing Co., Fish or Die Bait Company, Freedom Baitz, WM Bayou, and MONSTERBASS round out the collection with additional soft jerkbait options across shad, minnow, and baitfish profiles.
The color selection across the collection is one of the most extensive in the catalog — Lunker City's numbered color system spans over 50 colors including Albino Shad, Alewife, Arkansas Shiner, Ice Shad, Bubblegum Shad, Pro Blue Shad, Limetreuse, Rainbow Trout, American Eel, and Mahi Mahi alongside more than 30 additional colorways. The non-Lunker City brands cover natural shad patterns, pearl, chartreuse, green pumpkin, junebug, and holographic finishes for covering clear and stained water conditions.
