Why you’ll love this Hunthouse jerkbait pencil lure

• Size options that matter: The 115 mm (~32 g) size gives great balance between castability and profile; the 145 mm (~55 g) is for when you want to draw more attention and target larger fish. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Loud internal rattle: Not just a silent glide—this lure screams “don’t ignore me” in low-light or structure-heavy zones.
• Slow-sinking action: Instead of zipping past the fish, this jerkbait holds in zone, gives you time to present it and trigger the strike.
• Hard-body durability: Built for repeated hits, big fights and heavy cover—ideal for bass, pike and larger freshwater predators.
• Predator appeal: Though often used for pike, bass anglers using similar size and style jerkbaits report high success. This lure ticks the boxes for both species.

How to fish your hunthouse jerkbait pencil lure like a pro

1. Gear up: Use a 7′ medium-heavy casting rod with 15–25 lb braid and 20-30 lb fluorocarbon leader for the 145 mm. For the 115 mm, 12-17 lb braid + 15-20 lb leader is enough.
2. Find the zone: Look for structure: sunken timber, weed edges, rock banks, drop-offs. These predators lurk there and this lure is built to draw them out.
3. Cast beyond target: Let the lure sink for ~2–4 seconds (115 mm) or ~3–6 seconds (145 mm) before starting your retrieve. The slow-sinking helps keep it in the strike zone.
4. Retrieve style: Use jerk-pause-jerk rhythms. Twitch the rod tip sharply, let it settle, then minor twitches. The loud rattle plus pause = reaction strike. Guides on jerkbait techniques help here. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
5. Set the hook confidently: Hard-bait strikes can be explosive—when you feel the hit or rod tip load, reel once then sweep the rod up and back to drive those trebles home.

When this hunthouse jerkbait pencil lure really shines

This bait excels when surface action is slowing, fish move deeper or into cover, or water clarity drops. The loud sound, sizable profile and sinking action combine well for late afternoon, dawn, low-light, structure-heavy flats or rivers. Reddit and other angling forums confirm large predator hits when switching to big loud baits like this. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

Use it on wind-blown banks, stained water, weed edges where reflection and sound matter. The profile and rattle give you the edge.
