Daiwa Bait Junkie Jerkshad Soft Plastics

Daiwa Bait Junkie 5″ Jerkshad

Another staple soft plastic for any saltwater fisho’s arsenal is the well-known jerkshad, which Daiwa have reproduced themselves with the addition of their segmented ‘slim waist’ design for added movement and attraction. The vertical fork tail exaggerates the action and the hinge-like effect of the body makes the tail section of the Bait Junkie Jerkshad swim like crazy.

A belly slit enables weedless rigging with an EWG style weighted hook and is the way to rig it when you want to fish high in the water column.

The 5″ Jerkshads are ideal for snapper fishing but also fish very effectively for other species around reefs, off the rocks and even in estuaries.

Daiwa Bait Junkie 7″ Jerkshad

With the longer body and more mass, the incredible ‘S’ wave swimming motion which is so prevalent in the 5″ version is only increased in the Daiwa Bait Junkie 7″ Jerkshad model. The combination of the segmented body design and the vertical fork tail makes this lure swim like you wouldn’t believe. Rigged with a traditional jig head design the 7″ jerkshad will swim on the drop, accounting for an incredible amount of strikes. On the straight retrieve the tail section moves like a snake through the water which allows the bait to track straight & true, a great feature when chasing fast-moving pelagic species.

The incorporated belly slit makes weedless rigging an easy possibility and presents almost endless possible uses for such a versatile bait design.
