Simple Trick To Catch More Bass This Winter!
Still struggling to catch bass this Winter? This trick will change that! If you prefer to fish slowly and methodically during the cold months and are struggling, learning to fish the "extremes" will change your fishing experience. Most anglers that struggle in the cold are fishing the "middle" and don't even realize they're doing something wrong. Don't understand what we mean? Check out the video...
The key to consistent Winter success with slow moving baits is to fish the extremes. You either need to commit to throwing a BIG bait or commit to throwing a TINY bait. This ins't the time to be throwing shaky heads, big jigs, texas rigs, etc. If you're going to throw the worm, make it a small ned or tiny dropshot. If you're looking for the big bite, go all the way and focus on 8" to 10" swimbaits!
The idea is that bass are struggling for survival during cold water periods. You're fishing for very few bites each day. By embracing the conditions and sticking to the 2 extremes, your odds of getting bit at all, as well as your odds of getting a giant bite, both go up. Below we'll link the baits we recommend at both ends of the spectrum as well as our favorite rod/reel combo for each technique.
