Gear Review: BOOYAH Flashpoint Jerkbait

WHAT IS IT?

BOOYAH Flash Point Jerkbait

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Measuring 4.25 inches and weighing 1/2 ounce, the Flashpoint Jerkbait dives 4 to 6 feet. On the pause the bait suspends at a 40-degree nose-down angle to imitate a dying baitfish. This enticing appearance appeals to the opportunistic nature inherent to every bass. With 12 color options, the Flash Point includes a tungsten beads weight-transfer system that maximizes casting distance and three No. 6 ultra-sharp carbon steel SS finish treble hooks for serious grabbing power.

HOW DO I USE IT?

Just about any bait can work for live sonar tactics, but the folks at BOOYAH put considerable thought into designing the new Flash Point Jerkbait to excel with this technology. Essentially, this bait maximizes one of the key benefits offered by forward-facing sonar — bait monitoring and adjustment. To ensure maximum sonar return, BOOYAH designed the Flash Point with a blade across the head that increases sonar return, while creating subtle flashes that attract attention.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

BOOYAH’s intent was to create a jerkbait that could stand on its own for anglers fishing without forward-facing sonar, but it can also step up the game for those that do. The bait’s narrow profile delivers a highly responsive action, while the broad, rounded back and belly imitate shad or herring. BOOYAH dressed the Flash Point with etched scales and fins, along with intricate painting for a lifelike appearance. Built for a quick, erratic action, the Flash Point maintains presentation consistency by remaining at the same level of the water column whether it’s darting or resting.
