Berkley Deep Hit Stick 10.5

The Berkley Deep Hit Stick 10.5 is a deep diving jerkbait for bass designed to target suspended fish in deeper water. Built with a longer diving bill and a slender minnow profile, it delivers a sharp darting action while reaching deeper strike zones than traditional jerkbaits.

At 10.5 cm, this lure offers a balanced size for targeting both largemouth and smallmouth bass. Its suspending action allows it to stay in the strike zone during pauses, making it especially effective in cold water or when fish are less aggressive.

The Deep Hit Stick 10.5 excels in clear water, deeper structure, and situations where fish are suspended or holding off breaklines. It can be fished with a classic jerk-pause retrieve, triggering reaction strikes from pressured fish.

Whether you are fishing early spring, late fall, or targeting deeper bass, the Berkley Deep Hit Stick 10.5 is a reliable deep diving jerkbait designed for precision and control.
