This Bait Changed Winter Bass Fishing Forever! (It Will Change Your Fishing Too)

Winter fishing used to be cold and boring...not anymore! Check this out! A few years ago, Winter bass fishing changed forever! Anglers today talk about this technique like they've always done it, but the truth is just a few years ago, almost no one had any idea that bass would react to high–speed retrieves in cold water. Matt is about to demonstrate this amazing technique on the water!

Today Matt is taking us out for a day of fishing. He splits his time between a football jig, a finesse jig, and a crankbait. This turns out to be one of those magical speed cranking days that everyone should get to experience! Jump in the boat, let's go!

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear used throughout the video. We've included sizes, colors, as well as the rod and reel combos Matt used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

NEW TacticalBassin Lures!! Wakebait, Swimbait, and Crankbaits! Full Review!!

River2Sea Tactical Wake 210 Wake bait! Bacca Burrito Swimbait "Tactical Shad"! Plus 6 new colors in the Tactical DD Crankbait! The new baits are here!! We've poured our creativity and knowledge into each of these projects and are so thrilled they've finally arrived! Here's what you need to know!

Our new Wakebait, the R2S Tactical Wake 210, is years in the making. We were on a mission to build a bait that was multi-faceted and that's exactly what we've done! We wanted a lipped, single jointed, soft tailed bait that could be slow crawled, chopped and walked, or steady retrieved with a large "V" wake. This bait excels at all of these retrieves! In the later half of the video we go in-depth on retrieves and actions with the wake bait to help you fish it to its full potential.

The Tactical DD 75 Crankbait is a phenomenal bait for targeting big bass and was specifically designed for cold water cranking. However, we've been surprised by its effectiveness in the warm water months so we're introducing 6 new fish catching colors to help round out the line and add to the bait's effectiveness throughout the year. 

The Bacca Burrito by Bull Shad Swimbaits is a proven fish catcher. When the opportunity arose to help Mike fill a void in his color selection, we jumped in! We both knew instantly what color we wanted added to the line. "Tactical Shad" is reminiscent of both Electric Shad and Tennessee Shad. This color is a staple in our line up and has been catching big bass from the very first color sample!
