HOW TO CATCH THE BIGGEST FISH OF YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW!

Are you ready to catch a giant? Do you want a new PB? Its time!! If you want to catch a big bass, there are 3 techniques that consistently catch the monsters during the cold water months and today we're going to teach you how to use each of them effectively. Don't waste your Winter opportunity, get out there and catch the biggest bass of your life!

When Winter cold sets in, most of the fish in the lake become lethargic. This creates a unique opportunity for the giant fish to hunt, unimpeded by smaller fish. We use 3 unique techniques to specifically target these larger fish. The first is a big swimbait, the second is an A-Rig, and the last is Speed Cranking. Today, Matt is going in depth with each of these methods to help you build the confidence needed to go out and catch a giant bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits discussed in the video. We've included the exact colors, sizes, and rigging for each. We've also included links to our favorite rod and reel combos for each technique. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
