This is awesome as a bank angler no one out there is doing this kind of video thanks for the cool video.

Jerk baits, cold water, bank fishing... that's a lot of mystery in that combination for us folk new to the game. That was a great explanation and covered all the tips, details, and reasons. Thanks again for another great video!

Hey great video! I have watched hundreds of videos on fishing and have never heard of suspend dots!! Great tip!!!

Hello! Bassgeek. Thank you for the bank fishing Jerkbait video. I don't have a boat. Never had a boat. Please don't forget us bank fishermen. We buy rod's, reel's and lures just like the boat fishermen. Another great video. Shawn

[KennyVengeance]

thank you for remembering us bank anglers 👌🏼😄🎣

[shawnreeves]

Thanks for listening to us bank anglers and putting out a video for us ! Really appreciate it

[nickt]

Not a commonly discussed subject...that it helps to alter conventional methods/gear to fish from the bank. I think there a lot of experienced anglers who dont have a lot to offer on this subject because they didn't put the hours in, or forgot their ways of fishing from the bank. Great tips!

I LIKE IT !! Thanks Hank for some bank fishing tips. No one else has told us bank anglers this, so all my jerk baits are the wrong type. The bank nation appreciates it.

Great video. I’m primarily a bank angler with an occasional kayak trip and this makes so much more sense… I’ve avoided jerk baits because I’ve lost quite a few expensive ones from shore.

[Her-Maker]

It's always appreciated to get a pro's perspective from the bank. Thx Hank.

I love the little rapala rip stop on a spinning combo and a primarily fish from the bank. Occasionally I get out my little flat bottom to get to better angles of banks

[jrjeter]

Good lesson. Always thought fishing jerkbaits from the bank was a chore.

[jmrtx]

Thank you for the info, I fish from the bank and wanted to try a jerk bait and now I have more confidence in buying a jerk bait and trying it out from the bank

[pcheek]

These little insights have helped me to catch more fish. Thanks BG

[mikefeister]

Hell yeah Hank appreciate the tips I wanna do the herky jerky this year on the bank and in the old tin can so thank you man

[willjunkin]

Lots of great tips. Never used the suspend dots or weights. Will have to look in to them

[ChrisV-]

Thanks for the video. Will be looking forward to more bank angler videos. Can’t wait till lakes defrost here in Colorado lol

[allmight]

Thanks for the tip I didn’t really sit there and think to realize I should’ve been jerking up instead of down on the bank. Simple but very important thing that I missed the mark on. Good video appreciate the info! Tight Lines brother!
