Speed Cranking Tricks For Fall And Winter Bass!

This is the future of crankbait fishing! Don't miss the boat! Speed cranking is completely changing how anglers fish in the Fall and Winter! We used to think of the cold water months as slow periods but not anymore. Grab a speed crank, a high speed reel, and burn up that cold water! Let's go!!

The concept of triggering a feed response in a bass is not new, but the reality of being able to do it in the coldest water temperatures of the year is amazing! Winter fishing is a lot more fun when you're burning a bait instead of finesse fishing. Not only will this method of fishing catch bass all Winter, it is capable of catching the biggest bass in the lake!

Below you'll find a breakdown of the exact baits, colors, hooks, and equipment we use to fish these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

3 Winter Power Fishing Tricks That Change Everything!!

Forget what you think you know about bass fishing! You can still power fish all Winter long! Burner reels and fast moving baits have a place in 40 degree water and we're going to show you how we do it!

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 go bigger, to go bolder, and to force fish to bite. This "triggering" method we use is incredibly effective and works even when water temperatures are in the 30's! 

Below you'll find links to all the gear, including our new Tactical Mini Flex Rig! All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
