The JEM Recon – Floating Jerkbait marks a new chapter for JEM Custom LLC. As the first ABS hard bait in our lineup, the Recon was engineered for durability, shallow precision, and aggressive strike performance. Built for anglers who fish with intent, this bait gives you complete control over cadence, pause, and presentation. Specifications Length: 4 inches Weight: 13.4 grams Classification: Floating Jerkbait Diving Depth: 1.5 ft – 2 ft (standard retrieve, no trolling) Hooks: Size 1 Black Nickel Treble Hooks Body: High-strength ABS construction Build: Built and finished by hand Shallow Strike Control Designed to run 1.5–2 feet on a standard retrieve, the Recon excels in: Shallow structure Flats and transition zones Edge lines and grass margins Fish feeding high in the water column Sharp rod twitches create a tight, responsive side-to-side darting action. On the pause, the bait rises naturally — creating hesitation that triggers reaction strikes. Balanced internal weighting ensures stable tracking at multiple retrieve speeds without blowing out or losing control. Built the JEM Way Even as our first ABS platform, it holds the same performance standard: Precision ABS body Built and finished by hand Hardware selected for violent strikes Hand-inspected before release Field-tested on the water If it doesn’t perform for us, it doesn’t leave the shop.
