=== Jerkbait ===
A jerkbait <ref>{{cite web | url=https://eatthatfish.com/best-suspending-jerkbaits-for-bass-top-7/ | title=Best Suspending Jerkbaits for Bass – Top 7! | date=30 October 2020 }}</ref> or "minnow" has a [[swimbait]]-like slender body that resembles a small bait fish (e.g. a [[Alosa|shad]]), a short steeply angled bill, and usually two (or sometimes three) treble hooks. A jerkbait's bill is not large enough to make the whole lure dive, but if the fisherman flicks the rod and line during retrieval, the sudden brief acceleration causes the nose of the lure to easily decelerate, [[roll (aviation)|roll]] and [[yaw (aviation)|yaw]], thus imparting a stop-and-go, random "darting" motion ("jerks") that resembles the [[spasmodic]] struggle of an injured or dying fish.
