Mark Zona shares his unique approach to jerkbait fishing bass in cold water – it’s a potential Bassmaster Classic-winning method when the event is held during a cold period. According to Z-Train, it isn’t about the jerk. Rather, you need to get the bait to depth and pull. This requires a long cast and a deep diving jerkbait that comfortably hits that 10-foot plus range.
