The Cold Water Bass Fishing Trick Everyone Forgets!!

When Winter bass don't want to bite, the Jerkbait is the deal! Long pauses and short snaps of the rod can get wary fish to commit. However, this time of year attention to detail is everything. From baits to hooks, and rod to line,  you need your gear to be perfectly dialed to fully take advantage of a jerk bait's potential. 

Matt started out fishing a variety of Winter time baits. He threw crankbaits, blade baits, alabama rigs, and swimbaits. Right before he was going to call it quits he picked up the jerkbait and changed the course of his day. The subtle action of the jerkbait combined with long pauses was more than the bass could resist! 

Below you'll find links to the exact gear Matt was using. He's included his favorite sizes and colors for the baits, as well as the exact rods and reels he was fishing with. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
