How to Work Jerkbaits/ Glidebaits for Pike

I've had a few people asking me for some tips on fishing with jerkbaits for pike so I thought I'd throw this little video together giving my 2 cents on the topic. I am by no means a expert on this but hopefully I can help some of you guys out!

As someone who just picked up a Westin Swim after reading an article of Toon Van Ham, this video demonstrates perfectly what he talks about on the Westin Swim...!

I had to search quite a bit for jerkbait fishing and realized that there is almost no videos. This one is gold

[esoxluce]

always interesting to hear opinions and thoughts on retrieves, styles etc. Cheers.

Excellent video! I learned from you, thanks. I am new to glide baits this year. I have a few different kinds and am figuring them out. This video was super helpful! You are a better teacher than you realize.

New stickers on your rod. It’s all happening. Got the big westin swim. Top lure. A vid with big lures and slow fished with the colder months would be good dan. Cheers 👍🏻🤓

Let me say, I fly fish for trout and I think I know what I'm doing. However, this is a whole new fascinating world and I am really impressed with your skill casting and precision. Good Man

Good varied retrieves & lures keep them coming as I say you learn something new everyday when your out fishing 🎣🙂

Super video again from you. Keep looking at your videos👍👍

Cheers Dan some nice advice and tips, mate of mine kicked my butt on are canal with a Westin swim in the hot sardine colour depths of winter on a slow twitchy retrieve so I rate them very highly, good luck with the next

For someone who's gonna go fishing with jerkbaits, this is a good lesson, well done mate 👍

Fkin love your instruction videos. Very much needed for a newbie pike fisher struggling with getting the jerk action right. Went back to my spinning combo, didnt really get along with my baitcaster rod so will give it a go next year. I find keeping the line tight is the hard part, but im getting better. The Svartzonker is named Ticsaren, ie one with tics, like a meth head, jerky and jumpy, in Swedish.

Great tutorial, the Westin Swim has been catching me a lot of fish since one of your previous videos inspired me to buy one....got four now!

Great video as always, my lake is ready to freeze over, so I am getting ready to hibernate. I don't like ice fishing.

Hey Dan! Do you fish these Jerkbaits during the cold winter times as well and if so do you fish them way slower? Do you prefer sinking versions over floatings versions? Greetings from Austria and thanks :) Love your vids

[Cavanpikefishing]

Good tips for the western as I got one few weeks back only one pike yet but thanks for the tips

[callumhogan]

Can you do a video for a beginner please from start to finish like tying the line to the lures etc Iv only just started pike fishing love all your videos

[ckfishing]

great video in winter jerkbaits are even better because you can fish the bait longer over a spot

[i.o.m]

Yo remember me i was here from 8k so when you hit one milion you wil remember me

[daviddevine]

It could be fare to say there was no pike in that swim. Great info 👊

[mattheweckersley]

Hey #DBFishing great video as usual and really helpful thanks. What are your thoughts on the Buster Jerk by Strike Pro?? Is there a chance that you could do a lure challenge with it and a shout-out in an episode??
