diemai 234 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Very interesting chin/lip/line tie configuration , ........I really wonder , what your bait does , when jerking it . Lots of confusion about that term "jerk bait" anyway , ......in Europe we use it for lipless sinking gliders and floating pullbaits alike , ........but I believe to figure out , what kinda bait the American terminology refers to ,...... something like a "Rapala XRap" , I guess.........just a slender minnow bait with a small lip(approx. at 45° pointing forward) , slowly sinking or suspending and to be fished in a "sweep-and-pause" manner . greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment

I tested it last week and I need to adjust the diving action. Its goes off to the side to much. The Xrap baits are awesome by the way I love them all. Thanks Again! Quote Link to comment
