My favorite way to fish this bait is burning it in as fast as I can, but I never get bit while the bait is moving. The trick to a good pause is to stop the bait after making contact with structure. For example bring the bait over a log or off a ledge then pause. The idea of this technique is to not waste time working the bait where the fish aren’t and pausing it when it’s in those blatantly obvious ambush point.

Points
Winter fishing can be tough. To increase your chances head towards the main lake basin and focus in on the main lake points. On a sunny winter day bass will move up in the water column and suspend. A jerkbait is a perfect tool get those lethargic bass to bite.
