The Rapala Husky Jerk is a true classic among plugs - a versatile lure that has proved its worth time and again, for a whole range of species across waters all over the world.

Its slim, elongated profile in the 8 cm size imitates a slender juvenile fish - exactly the kind of prey that predators home in on. The regularly updated colour patterns make the Husky Jerk look remarkably lifelike, even in clear water. Rather than rising on the pause, this plug holds its position in the water column - and that motionless hang is often precisely when the hardest bites come. The two sharp VMC hooks deliver a high hook-up rate, and the Black Nickel coating makes them highly resistant to corrosion.

How to Fish It

The Husky Jerk handles a wide variety of retrieves. You can wind it back at a steady pace, twitch it with short rod movements and work in pauses - or mix all of these approaches depending on your target species. It's also well worth trying for zander on cold days.

Its sheer versatility makes the Husky Jerk a standard piece of tackle for any predator angler.
