Strike King Bitsy Jerkbait 2"

Strike King Bitsy Jerkbait 2-Inch

The Strike King Bitsy Jerkbait puts a darting, rolling hard-bait presentation into a compact 2-inch profile. It's a downsized option for fishing small forage around ponds, creeks, and shallow lakes, or for switching to a smaller bait when fish turn away from larger offerings.

Short rod-tip twitches give the bait an erratic baitfish movement, while pauses let you change the rhythm without making another cast. Fish it for bass, trout, and panfish with tackle suited to a small hard bait.

How to Fish It

Choose a rod and line suited to the lure's packaged weight and make controlled casts around open shoreline lanes, small points, and the edges of shallow cover. Begin with one or two short twitches followed by a pause. Leave a little slack after each twitch so the bait can move rather than being pulled continuously forward.

Vary the pause length and twitch strength until you find a rhythm that draws bites. Watch the line during pauses and recover slack before applying steady pressure when a fish takes the bait. Check the lure's behavior beside the bank or boat before working it near bottom or cover, and adjust your retrieve to avoid snagging the treble hooks.

Care and Storage

Check hooks, split rings, and the line tie before fishing and after snags. Dry the lure before storing it with other tackle. When replacing hooks or hardware, match the original configuration as closely as possible because changes can affect balance and action.
