Polk County Tweaker Sampler Pack
Polk County Tweaker Lure Rigging Bundle
The Polk County Tweaker was designed for those clear days after cold fronts when the fish are a bit finicky and less aggressive.
A small jerk shad like this is flat-out going to catch fish in those conditions.
It is all about creating sharp darting motion to trigger bites.
It has the same skin as the Mulligan lure to increase casting distance and for skipping as well.
When rigged weedless, this lure skips like a dream below docks and up under mangroves.
Right now, we have SEVEN different colors (available individually or in a sampler pack).
Polk County Tweaker colors include ShrimpTreuse, Slam Shady, Alabama Leprechaun, Gold Digger-Treuse, New Penny, Fred-Treuse, and Optimus Lime.
As far as rigging goes, here’s what we recommend based on depth coverage needed:
Weedless: Hoss Helix Hooks – 3/0 sized hooks
Non-Weedless: Hoss Round-Eye Jigheads (sizing below):
These lures are ONLY AVAILABLE at our online tackle shop!

I recently received the sample pack of the Tweaker. I must say I really like them. I have not caught any fish on them yet, but I was mainly trying how well they would cast on a bait caster vs spinning reel. I was pleased to see they performed pretty darned well even on a light rig. I am not sure of which color works best, but that would depend mainly on where I use them and what target species. I do a lot of esturary fishing from shore or sometimes out in the larger San Diego Bay. Most abundant species would be Spotted Bay Bass, but there are also Corvina, Barracuda, Halibut, Mackerel and a few other sharks, rays, Guitar, Lizard fish and occasional Bonito. Thanks for bringing these to market.
Hey Luke kinda crazy and it’s not you guys fault that’s for sure but I ordered 4 twitch sampler packs along with the hooks to go with them on the 6th today that is when I first saw your post on them and finally got them today a full 6 days later?! I thought it to be weird because even though you guys did your great job as usual and sent them out the same day i ordered them the post office really screwed up saying on the 9th it was to be delivered then it changed to sat but still dodnot come then believe it or not on sun there tracking website said it was still sat and was to be delivered that day when though it was sun then finally today mon the 12th it finally changed and said today it was to be delivered and it finally came how screwed up is that?!! Anyways the reason I’m emailing you is because usually when you send out new lured you have a tutorial about rigging and retrieving them right after ordering them well I never saw it and would Luke to know if there is one available or are you still working on it? Thanks in advance and for all you do👍😂
So sorry to see that you didn’t get them quickly nor did you get the rigging/retrieving lessons. Here’s a link to see the lessons on the Twitch: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/twitch-lure-rig-retrieve-tips/
Hi
how do I access the rigging instruction and how to fish the twitch? I received my order, but didn’t see a link for the instruction.
thanks
Here’s a link to the lessons showing how to rig and use the Twitch: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/twitch-lure-rig-retrieve-tips/
Hey Luke. I ordered two combo packs and they arrived in a day or two. Can’t wait to put them to the test this weekend. Will there be an on the water video coming soon? Maybe two anglers using different colors or one angler alternating colors. Thanks for another great product.
You can see some on the water footage on this lesson for the Twitch: https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/twitch-lure-rig-retrieve-tips/
Many more videos will be showing it in action very soon.
What kind of material are the Twitch made of? Plastisol or Elaztech? Does the Twitch hold scent well?
The Twitch is made from a hard Plastisol material so it’s tough enough to hold up to junk fish while being flexible enough to get great movement in the water.
Is there a way to pay via credit card instead of venmo. Venmo is not working for me.
Yes, most people pay via credit card. Just follow the links above to the Twitch product page in our online store, and you’ll see a spot to enter credit card info on the checkout page.
Awesome
So glad to see that you are liking this new lure!
Go Twitch
Thanks for making time to post the nice comment David!
Looks alot like the original soft stick baits made in the late 70s for freshwater bass fishing the Ole sluggo millions of fish have been caught on that lure for sure I don’t use soft stick baits alot on acct they are best in clear water because they don’t make alot of noise which is needed slot here in northeast fl jacksonville area where the water never really becomes totally chrystal clear but still I have talked to guys that do use them and I have a wide assortment of them and have caught fish on them so I might buy some and give them a try maybe they would work on the mushroom jighead from zman for a ned rig that pat did a report in about a week ago anyways always looking for something new thanks for the info and all you guys do😉👍
You are correct in saying that this may not be quite as good up in your home waters due to how quiet it is. But if you decide to sight fish reds up in the sawgrass during flood tides, this lure would be dynamite since it casts far and can be rigged super weedless.
Since you fish at night a lot, the lures with more vibration would certainly do better.
I have also thought about it and adding a rattle might help I know because I use rattles in all my soft plastic baits including gulp baits now that zman makes that rattle snaker rattle insertion tool I can add rattles to baits I normally would not because of the difficulty doing it by hand ( they tend to eventually work themselves out if done by hand) but the new tool when you insert a rattle it’s in there for good unless you physically cut it out and usually when the bait is so chewed up and it can’t be mended back together I do sometimes cut the rattle out so as to save it anyways thanks for the feedback and as usual all you do😉👍
Purchased! Great idea on the sample pack concept. Thanks Luke.
I hope you enjoy testing out the various color options!
