General Jerk (5") —5 pk Split Tail Jerkbait | Hook Slot • Twitch • Glide • Strike Meet the General Jerk—a 5" split-tail jerkbait built for clean, controlled action and solid hook-ups. With a hook slot for better rigging, it stays true on the twitch, glides naturally on the pause, and comes through cover cleaner than a standard bait. Twitch it. Pause it. Get hammered. Split Tail Action That Triggers That split tail adds subtle movement even when you barely work the rod. Twitch-twitch-pause, let it glide, and watch how often the bite comes on the stall. Hook Slot = Better Rigging The built-in hook slot helps your hook point ride right and improves hookups—especially on: EWG Texas rig (weedless for grass/wood) Weightless (slow fall around shallow cover) Light belly-weighted hook (stable tracking, controlled depth) Versatile “Search” Bait The General Jerk can be fished fast to cover water or slowed down to pick apart targets. It’s deadly around bait schools, dock edges, laydowns, and grass lines—anywhere predators are hunting. Material + fall rate Poured with a responsive medium/soft feel so it moves naturally, holds the hook well, and fishes clean without feeling stiff. Colors for every water Available in proven colors so you can match forage, water clarity, and light conditions—then stay dialed in.
