Over the past several years there is a technique that has developed from the use of spinner baits, spoons and the like, that has become known as stroking! I have for several years used similar presentations not maybe quite as erratic but very close to the new stroking technique. The presentation is very easy to do, you just basically throw your jig out and rip it upward as hard as you can then let it fall, and you keep repeating it until the jig gets back to your boat. If you think about it this creates that erratic movement and quick jerk that many of us are doing with Spinner baits and jigging spoons. The key is if a bass is looking at it, that quick move and then slower fall to the bottom will create a reaction bite. If you're around cover or grass or wood that movement then causes the jig to fall and deflect off the cover on its way to the bottom. It's a very deadly presentation, and will catch fish when they seem to be sluggish. The bite generally occurs when the jig is falling so keep good contact with your line as the jig retreats to the bottom.
My version of this is slightly different, I have a tendency to shake my jig as I am retrieving it out of cover like grass. I then combine the stroking action with some shaking of the jig to give it even more movement than just the stroking technique. I have found that the two movements together is something the bass haven't seen as regularly as a person who is dragging or hopping a jig. This presentation has become real popular on Kentucky Lake and I believe and have experienced it catching tournament fish on Guntersville.
Stroking a jig could be just what you need to getting your next tournament win!
