Reel in speed at 40 or so while using right mouse button to pull the rod up/down while reeling in.
It will show the type of guiding in green above your rod power bar(s).

Unless you are talking about a different setup.

I use Rapala jerkbaits and they work great IRL, but the don't look like jerkbaits in this game.. https://www.rapala.com/us_en/rapala/lures/lures-by-type/jerkbaits
They just like crankbaits, but I like jointed jerkbaits they work great on many fish from king salmon to smalmouth bass
Rapala jerkbaits draw strikes like no other. These fishing lures are designed to create a unique darting movement during retrieval and have a suspending motion in-between the reeling action.

Crankbaits and jerkbaits are both artificial fishing lures, but they differ in design and how they are fished. Crankbaits are designed for a steady retrieve, mimicking a swimming baitfish, while jerkbaits are meant to be fished with a twitching or jerking motion to imitate a struggling or dying baitfish.

Here is a simple way to explain how to do the jerk in the game, cast at 0 degrees let go to the bottom, direct the tip of your rod at 32 degrees, bring back to speed 30 to 35, as soon as the line is taut make a right click while continuing to rewind, continue in this way, tension, strike, tension strike, some precision it is important not to exceed 30 to 35 in speed so that the jerk imitates the dead fish WHICH TOUCHES THE BOTTOM then which makes a jump of life. you must also keep an angle of +- 27 to 34 degrees with your line in relation to the direction of the initial throw, try to be closer to 34 than 27 gives a smoother and easier animation, there are also other methods to do the jerk but this one is the easiest to master and therefore the most effective because you will often do it very well, while the other methods are more complex and are very often poorly executed, here is a video that shows you what I explain to you ;)
