I like using jerkbaits for early season bass. In this video I attempt to make a homemade shad imitation jerkbait that can fool some early season largemouth bass, wipers, white bass, muskie or whatever else is swimming out there. At the end I test it out to see what the fish think of it - they approved! More lure making videos will be coming this year!
