Jerk Baits for Muskie, Pike and Other Game Fish

Welcome!

...to the home of the famous SLEDGE jerkbaits, created by Randy Shutt. Under new ownership since late 2006, we are now in the process of updating our products while maintaining Randy's great tradition of "made in the U.S.A." quality. We will be continually updating this site, so check back often. Look for:

  • New colors!
  • New weighting schemes!
  • New baits! (Hammershad and Fred)

Running The Sledge

The Sledge is very buoyant and has a very distinct side to side and nose dive action. Fast pulls or jerks will tend to make the lure run shallow. A slow to medium jerk will allow the lure to run deeper. The best results achieved for lure action and hook setting power have been with a medium to heavy Jerk Bait Rod. High speed trolling the Sledge has also been proven successful.

If you want the edge, use a Sledge!
