Alan McGuckin snapped some random photos at the weigh-in on Day One at Palatka, Fla. for the Bassmaster Elite Series 2012 kickoff tournament.

9 Bass Fishing Jerkbaits You Shouldn't Live Without

Warming temperatures in the Spring bring out the birds, bluegills and bass anglers. Many of the  country’s fisherman have been cooped up indoors sorting tackle, getting boats ready and dreaming about warmer days.

Springtime is also jerkbait time, and this year that could be a short window of opportunity as bass move very quickly from their deep water haunts to spawn. Most spring seasons, anglers have several weeks for fish to move up in stages, but with all indications pointing towards an early spawn, there may be only a few days where they stage. Believe it or not, in a recent two-day period, we have seen water temperatures jump 24 degrees from 40 to 64 degrees.

Staging bass will still be ready for jerkbaits, but that window could be very short. Prespawn could be replaced with spawn and post spawn this year. Umbrella rig anglers might love it, but jerkbait anglers may have to rely on post spawners to show the value of these deadly shad imitators.

I have had the pleasure of utilizing jerkbaits to my advantage for many years. I see them as a way to catch deep-water suspending prespawn bass, shallow water staging bass on flats, and bass on main lake blow-downs prior to spawn.

I have been fortunate enough to follow the bait evolution from early days to present. Our first bai
