Top Baits For Winter Bass Fishing! (Cold Water Fishing)
It won't be long now, Winter is coming! These are the baits we rely on as temperatures drop, water gets cold, and bass move into their Winter haunts. Winter fishing is a great way to catch a giant bass so forget about winterizing your boat! Head out on the water, keep these baits in mind, and fish with confidence.
There are two different approaches to Winter bass fishing. The first approach is finesse fishing. By dropping to lighter line, lighter hooks, smaller baits, and slower movements, you increase the odds of lethargic fish biting. The second is power fishing. This method is about presenting large meals in ways that cause fish to react and ignore the cold. When this method is done properly you can drive a fish to attack at full speed, even in the coldest temperatures!
Below you'll find links to all the baits and methods discussed in the video. We've separated them out by style so you can easily find the baits and components you need for the style you're interested in. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
