3 Power Fishing Tricks For Winter Bass!
Forget what you think you know about bass fishing! You can power fish all Winter long! Burner reels and fast moving baits have a place in 40 degree water. The key to power fishing in Winter, is understanding how to elicit a feed response in a bass, even when they're lethargic. Come along as Tim explains his favorite methods for getting these fish to bite!
There is certainly a time to downsize and slow down in Winter, as outlined by Tim in his recent finesse fishing video. But there is also a time to speed up, to be aggressive, and to force fish to bite. This "triggering" method we use is incredibly effective and works even when water temperatures are at their coldest!
Below you'll find links to all the gear Tim discussed in the video. From the components for the A–Rigs, to the exact colors for the baits, to the rods and reels we rely on to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
