Meredith Jerk Crank Slow-Sinking Crankbait, UV Finish
Meredith Jerk Crank Slow-Sinking Crankbait, UV Finish
This 65mm, 14g jerk crank blends the rolling wobble of a crankbait with the darting kick of a jerkbait. The slow-sinking design lets it hang in the strike zone on the pause, which is exactly when most bass committ to the bite. A UV-reactive finish adds extra flash in stained water or low light, giving fish another reason to react.
Built to dive 2.0 to 2.5 meters (6.5 to 8.2 ft), it covers mid-depth cover like laydowns, rock edges, and creek channels where largemouth and smallmouth hold. Twin treble hooks stay ready on the take. Work it with a steady retrieve, a stop-and-go cadence, or sharp jerks for a versatile, all-around bass bait.

How to fish it
- Cast past the target cover and let the lure settle before starting the retrieve.
- Use a steady crank for a natural swimming action, or add short jerks with pauses to trigger reaction strikes.
- Slow down over rock edges and laydowns since the slow-sink profile hangs in the zone longer.
- Watch your line on the pause since most bites happen as the bait hovers or starts to rise.
Frequently asked
It dives to roughly 2.0 to 2.5 meters (6.5 to 8.2 feet), making it a solid choice for mid-depth cover and drop-offs.
UV finishes show up best in stained or low-light water, but they still add subtle flash and contrast in clear conditions.
A medium-power spinning or casting rod with 8-12 lb fluorocarbon or mono works well for controlling the slow-sink action.
It works for both. The tight wobble and jerkbait pause suit smallmouth around rock, while largemouth respond well near wood and laydowns.
