Lew's Mach Baits Werkbait Jerkbait Lure - 5/16 oz, Floating, Dives 1-3 ft

Step into shallow water finesse with the Lew's Mach Baits Werkbait Jerkbait. This 5/16 oz floating lure is built for the spots you already fish well, from grassy edges to rocky flats, and in waters where wary fish often hide. When you twitch the rod tip, the Werkbait fights and darts from side to side, delivering a lifelike, erratic stroke that can spark reaction strikes without heavy line pulls.

In water, the lure settles into a comfortable depth, then suspends and rises slowly to hold attention. The carved bill delivers a distinctive action when you pull slowly on slack line or rip it with a rapid snap, producing variations in speed and depth during a single retrieve. Eye-catching color options are designed to stand out across clear and stained water, helping the lure remain visible under different light conditions.

On the water behavior and retrieves

Two retrieval styles unlock different tendencies. A quick, erratic pull can mimic a frantic baitfish, while slow twitching can entice more selective, cautious fish. The floating body paired with a precise dive range makes it a versatile tool for shallow vegetation, over rocky bottoms, and in pressured waters where finesse matters.

Premium components and thoughtful design contribute to confident casts and reliable hooks during tough bites. The motion is shaped by a carved bill that drives action on slack line or at high speed rip retrieves, expanding the Werkbait's range of motion across methods and conditions.
