Jerkbait GB-100

Hang In The Strike Zone. Trigger The Pause Bite.

The G-Ratt Baits GB-100SP Jerkbait is a premium suspending hard jerkbait engineered to deliver a unique combination of subtle sound, precise suspension, and aggressive darting action. Designed with a compact bill and perfectly balanced neutral buoyancy, the GB-100SP excels at keeping fish-focused presentations in the upper portion of the water column. Whether worked aggressively around active fish or paused for several seconds during cold-water conditions, this tournament-grade jerkbait is built to trigger reaction strikes from bass, trout, and other predatory gamefish.

Key Features

• • True Suspending Performance — Neutral buoyancy allows the bait to hover naturally in the strike zone during pauses rather than floating upward or sinking away from fish.

  • Compact Bill Design — Specialized low-profile lip creates a unique diving and tracking characteristic while reducing excessive water resistance.

  • Subtle Acoustic Attraction — Internal rattle system produces a refined knocking sound designed to attract fish without overwhelming pressured predators.

  • Premium Hook Package — Equipped with two 3X-strong Mustad Ultra Point treble hooks for improved durability and fish-holding power.

  • Stable High-Speed Tracking — Engineered to maintain a consistent swimming path during aggressive retrieves without blowing out or rolling.

  • Detailed Finish Work — Realistic scaling, molded gill plates, 3D eyes, and premium finishes help create a convincing baitfish profile.

Specs Table

Best Use & Conditions

• • Cold Water Fishing: Suspending action allows the bait to remain in front of inactive fish during extended pauses.

  • Clear Water Conditions: Subtle sound profile and realistic finishes make it effective when fish are pressured or highly selective.

  • Shallow To Mid-Depth Zones: Designed to work effectively over points, flats, transitions, and suspended fish holding in the upper water column.

  • Target Species: Largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, trout, striped bass, and other baitfish-feeding predators.

Rigging & Tips

• • Twitch-And-Stall Retrieve: Two or three sharp twitches followed by a pause can trigger strikes from fish following the bait.

  • Aggressive Slash Method: Snap the rod tip downward on semi-slack line to create erratic darting action that imitates fleeing forage.

  • Speed Retrieve: The compact bill allows the bait to maintain stability during fast straight retrieves without rolling over.

  • Pause Duration: In colder water, experiment with longer pauses ranging from three to ten seconds to maximize suspension effectiveness.

  • Maintenance: Inspect hooks, split rings, and line ties regularly to ensure peak performance after repeated use or fish catches.
