Top 5 Baits For December Bass Fishing!

December brings new challenges and bigger bass! These baits will help you catch them! As water temperatures drop the way to consistently catch bass changes. There are a few power fishing techniques that remain but finesse will start taking a lead roll as well. Here's what you need to know... 

If you're going to power fish you want to focus on lures that draw a feed response in the bass. Speed cranking and A-rig fishing are the two main power techniques that consistently work in cold water. Another great option is hopping a blade bait. All 3 of these methods will catch Winter time giants. Aside from these techniques you should focus your attention on slower bottom contact baits like the football jig and ned rig to get consistent bites.

Top Baits For Winter Bass Fishing! (Cold Water Fishing)

It won't be long now, Winter is coming! These are the baits we rely on as temperatures drop, water gets cold, and bass move into their Winter haunts. Winter fishing is a great way to catch a giant bass so forget about winterizing your boat! Head out on the water, keep these baits in mind, and fish with confidence.

There are two different approaches to Winter bass fishing. The first approach is finesse fishing. By dropping to lighter line, lighter hooks, smaller baits, and slower movements, you increase the odds of lethargic fish biting. The second is power fishing. This method is about presenting large meals in ways that cause fish to react and ignore the cold. When this method is done properly you can drive a fish to attack at full speed, even in the coldest temperatures!

Below you'll find links to all the baits and methods discussed in the video. We've separated them out by style so you can easily find the baits and components you need for the style you're interested in.
