CWC Buster Jerk Silent Sinking Lure - 15 cm

Product highlights

Designed by CWC, the Buster Jerk Silent is the silent version of the iconic Buster Jerk jerkbait, a benchmark for pike fishing. Developed for waters where fish are heavily pressured, this silent jerkbait offers an effective swimming action without internal rattles, helping to fool the wariest predators.

Thanks to its compact profile and carefully tuned balance, this pike lure produces a pronounced lateral glide action that is easily triggered by the slightest twitch. It is suitable for shore or boat fishing, at slow pulls or faster retrieves, making it an extremely versatile tool to explore different depths and activity zones.

The Buster Jerk Silent meets the demands of sport anglers: it remains simple to animate, even for beginners, while retaining the potential to attract large pike. Its wide swim, combined with the absence of noisy beads, delivers a natural presentation that complements noisier lures in your box.

Advantages and benefits

The main advantage of the Buster Jerk Silent lies in its ability to entice pike that have already seen many noisy lures. In heavily fished waters, acoustic discretion can make the difference: the wide swim with large lateral pitches attracts the fish without arousing suspicion, often resulting in cleaner strikes.

Its robust construction and well-balanced design ensure consistent action even in wind or current. This jerkbait for pike supports different retrieval speeds and maintains a stable trajectory, allowing quick coverage of large areas while remaining fully controllable.

Recognized as a versatile predator lure, it is valued by pike specialists and occasional anglers alike. Guides and competitors particularly appreciate the complementarity between the rattling and silent versions, enabling alternating signals to constantly adapt to fish mood.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the Buster Jerk Silent, alternate sharp twitches, pauses and varied retrieval speeds. A few jerks with the rod tip are enough to make the lure swing left to right, while longer pauses give pike time to inspect and strike.

• In cold water or when fish are sluggish, favour slow animations with long pauses to linger in promising zones.
• During active periods, adopt a more rhythmic retrieve with stronger jerks to provoke aggressive reactions.
• Use an appropriate leader (steel or thick-diameter fluorocarbon) and a rod with enough backbone to transmit actions effectively.
• Test this silent jerkbait on spots where pike have already seen many noisy lures: weed edges, breaks, windblown banks and submerged obstacles.

Varying casting angles, depths explored and animation cadence helps quickly find the day's winning combination. Don’t hesitate to rework a promising area several times while slightly changing speed or pause length.
