Berkley Deep Hit Stick 9

The Berkley Deep Hit Stick 9 is a compact deep diving jerkbait for bass designed to target fish holding in deeper water. With its smaller 9 cm profile and extended diving bill, it is ideal when bass are feeding on smaller baitfish or reacting less aggressively to larger jerkbaits.

Its suspending action allows the lure to stay in the strike zone during pauses, giving following fish more time to commit. When worked with a jerk-pause retrieve, the Deep Hit Stick 9 produces sharp darting movement and realistic baitfish action.

This smaller deep jerkbait performs especially well in clear water, cold water, and pressured fishing conditions where subtle profile and precise control matter. It is a strong option for targeting smallmouth bass, suspended fish, and deeper structure.

Whether you are fishing early spring, late fall, or clear lakes with pressured bass, the Berkley Deep Hit Stick 9 gives anglers a compact deep diving jerkbait with excellent control and strike-triggering action.
