Top 5 Baits For January Bass Fishing!

Winter bass fishing is here! If you want to catch bass in January, you need to fish differently than you do the rest of the year. These are the top 5 baits we rely on to consistently catch bass during the coldest part of the year! Come along as we explore our confidence baits to help you catch more fish in January!

In most of the country January is the coldest month of the year. Fish are lethargic and often laying right on bottom. Finesse is the natural approach for these fish but the right reaction baits can trigger a feed response as well, even in a lethargic bass. We rely on a mix of reaction and finesse baits to consistently catch fish all through Winter.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use in January. We've linked the exact colors, sizes, and rigging components, to help you find the exact items you're looking for. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Weather Fishing Tips! (Christmas Bass Fishing)

Come along with Matt and Tim for some Christmas Bass Fishing! The guys are headed out on the water and they're bringing you along for the fun! Watch as they build a pattern together, adapt to changing conditions, and catch fish in a variety of situations. From power fishing to finesse, these guys are doing what it takes to put fish in the boat!

Winter bass fishing brings a lot of challenges. Where they're fishing there are water draw downs, cold temperatures, and current fluctuations, just to name a few. Watch how the guys use different baits at different times to get fish to bite. Pay close attention as they explain the locations where they target the fish as well. Your lake may look completely different than theirs but bass will always sit in the same likely locations in Winter, regardless of the specific lake.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear the guys were using. They've included their favorite colors, sizes, and modifications, where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
