How to work it
The Daiwa Bait Junkie 7" Jerkshad excels on both the drop and active retrieve.
Cast it out and work it on a tight line with sharp, rhythmic jerks to trigger the segmented body's S-wave action-particularly effective when targeting mid-water predators responding to falling baits.
The vertical fluke tail performs well on high-speed retrieves, snaking and flicking to provoke strikes from aggressive pelagics.
Use the belly slit for weedless rigging when working around structure, or fish it freely in open water. The extended 7" body delivers excellent casting distance and presence offshore, making it ideal for reaching feeding fish at distance.
Work it methodically through the strike zone, varying your retrieve pace to match the activity level of kingfish, tuna, trevally and other hard-hitting pelagic species.
