A downsized version of Yuki Ito’s precision-tuned X-80 Trick Darter, the X-80 Jr bait finesse jerkbait delivers larger-than-life twitching and darting action to trick even the most cunning predators. With a patented tungsten multiway moving balancer system to power outsized distance and provide optimal swimming stability, the X-80 Jr. tracks true in dynamic current situations and snaps to attention with minimal angler input, darting to life with undeniable appeal.
Rod:
For those looking for a more traditional jerkbait rod action, we recommend the DESTROYER P5 F1-63X POPX STICK, which has a very moderate taper that bends deep into the blank. For those looking for a more modern rod action and added backbone, we recommend the F2.1/2-611X KASUMI SIX ELEVEN. The faster taper of the SIX ELEVEN is ideally suited for precise, high-frequency cadences.
Line:
We recommend a braid to fluorocarbon leader setup. Leader line diameter will affect lure action, particularly lures in which the angler is responsible for imparting action, like a walking bait or jerkbait. We have found 4-6lb leader material to be optimal for most situations.

The pre-spawn period marks a pivotal time for bass fishing as bass prepare to move shallow in anticipation of the spawning season. During this transitional phase, rising water temperatures, longer daylight hours, and increased activity levels create prime opportunities for anglers to capitalize on predictable bass behavior. In the weeks leading up to the spawn, […]
The hallmarks of Brandon Palaniuk’s tournament fishing career have been an ability to out fish others in difficult conditions and a willingness to consider presentations outside of the norm.
