Top 5 Baits for January Bass Fishing!

Winter bass fishing is here! If you want to catch bass in January, you need to fish differently than you do the rest of the year. These are the top 5 baits we rely on to consistently catch bass during the coldest part of the year! Come along as we explore our confidence baits to help you catch more fish in January!

In most of the country January is the coldest month of the year. Fish are lethargic and often laying right on bottom. Finesse is the natural approach for these fish but the right reaction baits can trigger a feed response as well, even in a lethargic bass. We rely on a mix of reaction and finesse baits to consistently catch fish all through Winter.

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear we use in January. We've linked the exact colors, sizes, and rigging components, to help you find the exact items you're looking for. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

Cold Water Bass Fishing Tricks! 19 Degrees and We're Still Power Fishing!!

Come along for a wild day on the water!! Its 19 degrees but the fish are biting! Matt is using a high speed reel in freezing cold temperatures to trigger a feed response in Bass when nothing else is working! This trick works and you can do it too!!

We talk a lot about the power of speed cranking in cold water. Today you get to see it first hand! Matt manages to catch a couple jig fish along the way but for the most part can't get bit on anything. When he picks up the crankbait on an 8:1 reel and starts burning it, the fish start reacting!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits we used throughout the day. We've included information like weight, color, trailers, as well as the gear we were using to fish them. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
