    KVD and His Jerkbait

    I know that we don't get to see what he is doing all of the time. However, I have watched a lot of film of KVD throwing his famous JB. No matter the conditions it seems like his cadence is almost always the same. He was on Gville back during the early winter and it was really cold. He was ripping it without almost any pause just like he does in the spring. I would love to pick his brain about this. Anyone ever get a chance to hear him speak about why he does what he does with the JB? Ott DeFoe for 2017 Classic champion!

    I think he's just wired that way. He fishes everything fast. Run and gun. He's looking for a reaction bite.

    Zona made a joke this morning that the way KVD is fishing that jerk bait you would think he covered half the lake already but he had only gone about 30 feet.

    Has KVD ever won a tournament on a jerkbait? Most of the tournaments I recall KVD winning are on moving baits but I don't recall KVD winning a jerkbait tournment.

    Real question is - how come his arm doesn't fall off? I can only work a JB for about 20 minutes.

    He also won the Wissota lake tourney in Wisconsin 2005 on a Gold and Black Smithwick. Threw it the entire tourney.

    For me water clarity is the only reason I slow down, the clearer the water the faster. I want them seeing it and chasing than pause a second and continue. I don't want them to get a good look at it, just react to it.

    He just has a hard time fishing slow. But he explains that he is just snapping slack line. So although it looks like a lot of line moving the bait is only moving a short distance.

    When the water is 39 degrees I don't think you do the same thing as you do when it is 49 degrees. Obviously I'm no KVD, but I have fished in a fair amount of cold water. At certain times of the year I don't have anything out but a few jerkbait rods.

    I'd have golfer and tennis elbow to go along with a dead wrist in 4-hours!

    Not BASS or FLW; but he won the 2016 Major League Fishing Summit Cup in La Crosse WN, on his newly designed Deep Jerk bait.
