LIVE OPS - JERKSQUID Part jerkbait, part squid, the Jerksquid combines aggressive darting movement with a slow, lifelike tentacle pulse that keeps working even when you’re not. Its keel-shaped body and pulse-hold tentacles create dual-action performance, mimicking the frantic escape of fleeing bait and the slow shimmer of a dying squid. Built from Titan-RX elastomer and infused with Tracer Scent, UV and Glow, this softbait is designed to dominate from estuaries to deep offshore structure. Hybrid Profile – Combines jerkshad dart with squid pulse.Keel Body Design – Sharp directional twitching movement.Tentacles – Shimmer and move on the pause.Flat-Stable Sink – Horizontal fall that stays in the strike zone.Reactor UV + Glow – High contrast in deep or dirty water.Tracer Scent – Triggers bites and holds fish longer.Titan-RX TPE Build – Ultra-stretch, tooth and snag resistant.Rigging Versatility – Ideal for jighead or vertical drop setups. Jerksquid Darts like a baitfish, then pulses like a squid on pause. The tentacle shimmer continues even when deadsticked. Great for all water columns. Hybrid Action ProfileCombines the sharp, erratic dart of a jerkshad with the lifelike hold-and-pulse of squid tentacles. Responsive to rod input on the lift and naturally fluttering on the pause making it lethal during retrieve pauses and deadstick moments. Multi-Zone Rigging CapabilitySuited for a range of rigging methods: jigheads for cast-and-retrieve or slow hop techniques, and paternoster/drop rigs for vertical presentations in offshore depths. Flat-stable body geometry ensures natural horizontal posture on slack line fall. Gear RecommendationsPair 2.5”–4” models with light spin tackle (6–12 lb braid, 6–15 lb fluoro) for inshore work. Larger 5”–9” sizes fish best on medium-heavy gear (20–50 lb braid, 30–80 lb leader) with jigheads or dropper rigs suited to water depth and species. Built to Last & TriggerMade from Titan-RX™ TPE elastomer for extreme stretch and reef durability. Combined with Reactor UV + Glow for maximum visibility and Tracer Scent channels for enhanced strike conversion, especially effective when paused or deadsticked.
