For Kevin VanDam, a jerkbait is the ultimate blend of power fishing and realism. Plus, you can customize the bait's action to the fish's mood. KVD faces prime jerkbait fishing conditions in this video - overcast and windy! He discusses the types of spots he targets bass in these conditions, some jerkbait selection guidance (emphasis on color), and how to fish the bait to trigger bass that often pass on swimbaits and crankbaits.

Overcast plus wind usually puts bass feeding into overdrive. On clear-water highland reservoirs such as Missouri's Table Rock Lake, feeding bass have a big strike window, so baits with drawing power get the nod. KVD focuses on main lake windblown points and spots where the old river channel pushes close to the shore. Just like crankbait fishing, strive to get the jerkbait to its maximum diving depth to call bass in from as far as possible. To augment this, KVD prefers bright but natural-hued baits, such as variations of bone and white on overcast days. You'll be surprised with how much of the water column you'll cover with a deep-diving jerkbait.
Fish finders can factor in big with this program. Pay attention to where you see fish and observe the depth, structure, and cover. While 360 and forward-facing sonar yield a ton of insight, reference your mapping for additional clues about fish location, such as channel swings and contour steepness.
The right rod, reel, and line setup are imperative if you're looking to maximize your efficiency and success with jerkbaits. KVD details his setup, particularly on choosing a rod with the ideal blend of power and action. A reel is just a tool for picking up the slack, while the rod is what makes the jerkbait come alive. Just make sure to start and finish your jerking with slack in the line.

A+++++ video. I drew KVD in his early years in a tournament on Lake Seminole. That day we were fishing jerkbaits in the timber. Kevin searched through his jerkbaits and gave me a bait to fish with. Class act all the way. Thanks for the memories KVD.

@Wired2Fish Год назад

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience Doug. He's always been a humble and gracious pro when we've worked with him too.

@timothy4428 Год назад

This is so awesome. He's the 🐐 baahhh

@metroplexbassaddicts Год назад

Great video! KVD is a class act and truly the greatest of all time! Not sure if there will ever be anyone else in the history of the sport that tops what KVD has done for the sport both on and off the water! 🐐

@chetchelios3574 Год назад

You truly are the best jerkbait / spinnerbait fisherman .

@jonboatfishingadventures8558 Год назад

Yeah, and I'm the second best! 😁

@that_one_fisherman6916 Год назад

I think the best spinnerbait fisherman is Jason Christie

@shanebrooks2013 3 месяца назад

You never seen KVD in his early years then! I love Christie, but he’s no kvd

@SmallieNinja Год назад

Yes they are good conditions for jerkbaits! " lol KVD never gets old! Love his jerkbaits knowledge!

@michaelloucks4448 11 месяцев назад

Your not kidding bro he has given so much to bass fishing. I really don't think bass fishing would be what it is today if Kevin wasn't around. Hey smallienija have a great fishing season this year and God bless you and your family.

@SmallieNinja 10 месяцев назад

@michaelloucks4448 Absolutely 💯% concur with you! KVD has Given SO MUCH to not only the Sport of fishing but the whole of fishing in itself! I see you as well as myself and MANY others have been influenced, touched, and improved by KVD and his contributions! I appreciate that and hope you have the greatest rest of the year and wish blessings on your family and life!

@joshcoates2339 Год назад

Always been a dream of mine, to spend a day on the lake KVD!

@bradleyrussell1973 Год назад

Met KVD at a BASS University seminar in Nashville waaayyyy back in 1995. He had just broke out into pro fishing, alreay winning the Classic just a couple years earlier, and already two-time AOY. I was 23, and he was only 22 I think. I felt we had our young age in common, and I looked up to him even though he was a little younger than me. At the time, his sponsorship was just getting into full throttle. He got into BASS under the logo “Team Grandma”. His grandmother told him she would get him through college, or she would back him as a beginning pro. Thank God he chose the latter!! Bless you KVD, you’re the image our sport had for two decades, and hopefully in your new venture after this final BASS season, it will be again. TEAM GRANDMA!!!

Always good stuff from KVD 🤘

@DavidMccallister65 Год назад

You know you got'em when you stick them with those 3 big EWGs 😎🤙

@Cichlid_Visuals Год назад

im a jerkbaitaholic as well great info here, targeting striper in the california delta right now and a jerk is my weapon of choice. shows how versatile they are.

@rhondakaradunis4894 Год назад

That sounds awesome

@Wired2Fish Год назад

Sweet, that sounds like a blast with some hard-charging stripers. A few of our staff had an incredible experience tanging with some giant hybrid white bass and jerkbaits earlier this year. Bass, walleyes, pike, trout/salmon, and even crappies -- jerkbaits do catch them all.

@ralo4265 Год назад

Good stuff KVD! 👀 🎣 👊🏼💯🇺🇸 Thanks for the tips my friend!

@lanierkayakbassfishing7950 Год назад

Bone stands out really well! One of my top choices

@guywithagoprofishingshow3011 Год назад

Its taken me almost 4 years of being a novice -decent jerkbait nerd .so many variables.Sorry @KVD -never even got bit on one of your models (& i know the intricacies of softer taps on bigger billed & or deep diving jerkbaits)-i like me Rapalas & Megabass,Jackall n the O.G pointers by Lucky Craft.

@slabslayer258 Год назад

If dreams come true one day I’m gone eat diner with this man and fish with him , when he hit he big tour in 91 wrecking with spinner bait I was 6 and glued to TV hoping he was gone be on tv on Saturday mornings I think TNT , and bob Cobb was the hype man

@rodcashman4793 Год назад

Man that's great. I have never caught anything on these. You make it look so easy. Thank you 😊

@rhondakaradunis4894 Год назад

Watch tactical bassin too

@Wired2Fish Год назад

Good luck with them Rod. They're one of the best lures categories for triggering fish when other lures fail to get bit.

@SmallieNinja 10 месяцев назад

I too was in your shoes years back, not having any success with Jerkbaits until I dove into a youtube rabbit hole of Jerkbaits videos. None of them "HiT" until a 2minute kVD clip came up. His focus on "power fishing" and how he broke it down describing his own approach helped me so much! Using a suspending model jerkbait, making long casts, getting it down to make depth by literally Jerking it down, then MAKING SURE you JERK and immediately point the rod tip back at the bait creating slack, then pause and do that till the bait is back to you! Keep a near 90° angle from rod to Lure will help your presentation and use a "pop, pop, pause, pop" cadence at 1st only reeling in some slack so that you can keep that perfect combo of tension and slack. That jerk and pointing the rod tip back at the Lure is essential! Hope this helps!💥🤟

@winchestermodel7044 5 месяцев назад

Jerk baits are my number one bait for large bass. Keep at it. Once you figure them out you’ll love em.

@Glock-1 10 месяцев назад

Anything with KVD on it I trust!

@aksuited8529 Год назад

🐐

@jonboatfishingadventures8558 Год назад

I love fishing spinnerbaits and jerkbaits but I HATE the wind. I just caught a bunch of smallmouth the other day on a jerkbait in the wind.

@scottsoucy6186 Год назад

KVD was catching fish like this long before modern electronics. He's always been a fish catching machine!

@beavisbrowne3497 Год назад

Wind is your friend most times

@DavidMccallister65 Год назад

Love catching those big fat Spots on a jerkbait. They're so aggressive.

@Chrykeo Год назад

From arkansas myself and table rock lake is definitely solid, same with Lake Degray

@jtomlinsonfishing1406 Год назад

Would love to a see a video from lake jocassee

@jakeblaha9233 Год назад

I wonder what the water temp was

@dant8213 Год назад

Obviously kvd knows more than me, but why a med heavy with those 1x trebles? I'd be using a medium with more like 10lb flouro in open deep water like that

@jonboatfishingadventures8558 Год назад

I just switched to a 6'0" medium action for jerkbaits. I think it performs better overall especially fishing out of my Jon boat.

@rhondakaradunis4894 Год назад

And the fish can’t unload the bait as much and or you don’t over work the bait as much but I use a spinning most the time

@aggietommyjones Год назад

Yeah good point. Possible that this rod is softer than other MHs cause I know he talked about a softer but faster tip section. Could also maybe use some fluoro specifically designed to stretch some more or beef up the hooks to slightly heavier wire hooks. I do find sometimes the pros talk with some inconsistencies on this type of vids so maybe it completely got past him.

@Wired2Fish Год назад

KVD really gets after it with his jerkbait fishing. This jerkbait is fairly beefy, as are the hooks. Considering this with his hard casting and aggressive working of the bait, and making a beefier than typical jerkbait setup makes sense. His rod definitely has a forgiving tip though for casting and working the bait, which meets a beefier midsection for driving the 1x hooks home and controlling the fish.

@dant8213 Год назад

@Tommy Jones yea you can tell some guys are just trying to sell whatever they r using sometimes...we all got to pay the bills so I get it

@JS-oy6nn Год назад

He’s got 10 grand worth of screens on the front deck, I hope he can catch a fish.???

@devinhoyt1700 Год назад

He’s prolly sponsored by them, KVD doesn’t need the fish finders one of the few true fishermen in the game 👍 of course he catches fish 😂 do you know who your talking about!?

@ricknelson4793 Год назад

Wish I had 10 grand to invest in those, guess I need to have the boat first lmao!

@MrGogogordo Год назад

Do you even know who the GOAT is???

@jasonrekker4328 11 месяцев назад

How often do you guys get hooks in your fingers? Every time you pick up a fish I wait for it to shake and for you to come away with a trebel in the hand....

@davidjohnston1835 Год назад

Hey what kind of box were those jerseys baits in?

@Wired2Fish Год назад

Good question David. The boxes are Plano's slick EDGE series, which have several different models build around certain lure types. In this video, KVD has his bulk jerkbaits stored in the Plano EDGE Professional 3700 Deep Box.

@pequenioedgarito3067 Год назад

I checked out the link to this jerkbait. There is no oyster color 😮

@Wired2Fish Год назад

I hear ya. Tackle Warehouse and other retailers have a bunch of colors but not Oyster. It's listed on their website: www.strikeking.com/en/shop/hard-baits/hckvdj300d
