Jerkbaits have long been a staple for targeting bass, especially in cooler months when fish are keyed in on baitfish. But in the era of forward-facing sonar, having a bait that stands out in the water column is critical. Enter the Booyah Flash Point Deep Jerkbait—a lure designed not just to reach deeper fish but to maximize visibility and trigger reaction bites like never before.
Breaking Down the Booyah Flash Point Deep Jerkbait
The Flash Point Deep isn’t your average jerkbait. It blends traditional erratic darting action with modern sonar-friendly innovation, making it a prime tool for anglers who rely on live sonar to locate and target suspended fish.
Designed for Depth and Distance
Unlike standard jerkbaits that hover in the mid-depth range, the Flash Point Deep is built to dive deeper on a standard cast. Its large diving lip helps it reach those critical 8-10+ foot zones, where bass often suspend, especially in clear water.
To further enhance its performance, Booyah integrated a tungsten weight transfer system that allows for long-distance casting, helping anglers cover more water efficiently. Whether you’re working over deep brush piles, targeting main lake points, or fishing steep bluff walls, this jerkbait reaches the strike zone quickly and effectively.
Innovative Flash for Maximum Visibility
One of the most unique features of the Flash Point Deep is the built-in reflective blade positioned in the head of the bait. Unlike traditional jerkbaits that rely on side reflections, this bait produces a strobe-like flash from above, making it more visible on forward-facing sonar.
That added flash creates a different look for pressured fish, helping to separate it from the thousands of jerkbaits they’ve already seen. It’s particularly effective in clear to slightly stained water, where fish rely heavily on their vision to track and ambush prey.
Lifelike Action & Natural Presentation
The slender minnow profile of the Flash Point Deep ensures that each twitch of the rod tip results in hard-cutting, erratic movement, perfectly mimicking a distressed baitfish. Unlike traditional jerkbaits that suspend horizontally, this one is weighted to suspend head-down at a 45-degree angle—an incredibly realistic posture for a dying shad.
That slow-hanging pause is often what triggers bass to commit, especially in cold water when fish are more lethargic. Pair this with the added flash from the built-in blade, and it becomes a deadly combination for enticing reaction strikes.
Hooking Power & Durability
No matter how good a bait looks, it needs the hardware to back it up. The Flash Point Deep is armed with three ultra-sharp #6 satin grey treble hooks, ensuring maximum hook penetration. The triple-hook setup means that even short-striking fish are likely to get pinned, reducing the number of missed opportunities.
Additionally, Booyah’s premium paint finishes, and rugged build quality mean this bait can handle repeated abuse from aggressive fish and rough cover.
Where & When to Fish It
The Flash Point Deep Jerkbait excels in situations where bass are suspended off structure, making it a go-to for forward-facing sonar users. Here’s where it shines the most:
- Cold Water Months (Fall-Spring): Bass rely heavily on jerkbaits when baitfish are dying off, and this one’s unique flash makes it stand out in pressured lakes.
- Deep Clear Lakes: Perfect for spotted bass and smallmouth that suspend over deep points, humps, and bluff walls.
- Forward-Facing Sonar Applications: If you’re targeting fish that are following bait balls, the Flash Point Deep allows you to watch fish react in real time and adjust your retrieve accordingly.
Final Verdict: A Must-Have for Sonar Savvy Anglers
The Booyah Flash Point Deep Jerkbait isn’t just another deep-diving jerkbait—it’s built for modern bass fishing. With its long-distance casting ability, unique head-down suspension, and live sonar-enhanced flash, it gives anglers a distinct edge in clear, deep-water situations.
