I have never caught anything on one. I fish from shore. Teach me how to catch fish on a crankbait/jerkbait.
Fixt. :thumb:Just get out and start throwing them!!
Yes. I will get more into the details later. At work but wanted to get some basic questions out there first.did you read any of the comments above?
First off, what is the difference between a crankbait, swimbait, jerkbait, etc... I bought one today I think is a jerkbait. I also bought one that I think is a swimbait. What tactics do I use? What colors and sizes should I buy?
Quite a bit more info would be needed about where you plan to fish before a specific lure can be suggested. (Depth, water color, Your rod/reel setup, water temp, ect)I tried a couple different crank/swimbaits last night.
Nothing.
Can anyone suggest like one or two exact lures to look for? I am headed to Discount Tackle in a couple of minutes and will look at some.

Shad and bluegill for clear water, firetiger, clown for stained. Match the diving depth to the depth your fishing, rip it through the tops of weeds, load the rod, keep reeling and be ready for a strike when it breaks free. Get some squarebill cranks. Get some craw colored cranks. Bang them off rocks.Fenwick Eagle GT rod 6'6" Medium-Moderate

Depth, water color, temp all vary. Holy **** this is complicated.
