Jackall Squirrel 79SP DD Bass Tune Lure

The Jackall Squirrel 79SP DD Bass Tune Lure is a premium suspending jerkbait designed to tempt wary Australian bass with an erratic darting action, perfect suspension and tournament-proven performance.

The Jackall DD Squirrel 79SP Bass Tune is built for anglers who demand precision and consistency from their hardbody fishing lures. Featuring a slender baitfish profile, silent operation and a perfectly balanced suspending action, this jerkbait excels when worked with sharp twitches or a steady rolling retrieve. Its ability to suspend naturally on the pause keeps the lure in the strike zone longer, enticing hesitant fish to commit.

The DD Squirrel 79SP Bass Tune uses the same proven body as the original Super DD Squirrel but features a slightly smaller bib set at a different angle. This design allows it to run approximately one metre shallower while producing a stronger, more erratic action. Combined with Bass Tune hardware, quality Japanese paintwork and factory-tuned performance, it's an outstanding choice for freshwater bass fishing.

Expert Advice

The DD Squirrel 79SP Bass Tune is most effective when fished with a twitch-pause retrieve. Work the lure with two or three sharp rod twitches followed by a pause, allowing it to suspend naturally before repeating the sequence. A light to medium spinning or baitcast outfit matched with braided line and a quality fluorocarbon leader provides excellent lure control and sensitivity. This lure is particularly effective around submerged timber, rock walls and weed edges where bass ambush baitfish.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should I retrieve the Jackall Squirrel 79SP?

It performs best with sharp twitches followed by pauses, allowing the lure to suspend naturally. It can also be fished with a steady rolling retrieve while maintaining its tight rolling action.
