preferably hair jigs that imitate minnows or other things bass prefer. Tip a little bit of worm or minnow or fish without but bobbing line up and down creating movement. If your not ice fishing, which is what i suggested, a canadian wiggler is the best lure for this.
Hope I helped!
You’ll need to slow down your presentation in winter. There’s three lures, in my opinion, that work the best in winter. Plastic worms, jigs, & spoons.
SPOONS?
Yeah, spoons. Spoons imitate shad that are dying off because of the coldness. J.T. Kenney catches lots of big bass in the winter months with very large, 1oz spoons. He uses a heavy action seven-foot-six rod and he fishes the lures with large swinging motions of the rod…
Smaller plastic worms, most of the time on a drop shot rig, can prove productive in winter. 4″ drop shot worms on a drop shot rig, shaken slowly in certain spots, will catch fish. 4″ worms Texas rigged with a small bullet weight will work too.
Jigs also have their time and place. I think I’d count on the jig to catch the most fish in winter. Move down to a 1/4ouncer from the traditional 1/2ounce and 3/4ounce’rs. Smaller trailers too, two and three inch twin tail grubs or single grubs will work fine, along with small crawfish trailers.
Winter time and cold water temperatures call for much slower presentations.
Jerk baits tend to shine this time of year. Cast out and give it a couple cranks on the handle to get the lure down to its depth in the water column. Let it suspend for a few seconds and twitch it or crank the handle once or twice, and continue to repeat that.
Plastic worms and jigs are also great. Cast out and let it sink. Count to about 8 seconds and give it a twitch or a crank of the handle a couple times. Carolina and Texas rigs will work well. Or try a drop shop to keep the bait up off or the bottom and right in front of their face…deadly.
Remember, patience is the key in cold water.
