Top 5 Baits For December Bass Fishing!

December is cold but the BIG Bass are feeding!! If you want to catch a giant bass, it's time to go fishing! We typically catch less fish in December but the bites we get are bigger, and we always know there's a shot at the fish of a lifetime! Here are the baits we rely on to get bit during the cold month of December...

There are two very different approaches to bass fishing in December. Many anglers turn to finesse presentations and slow retrieves to catch lethargic bass. This can be very effective but it's also mundane when you're struggling through cold temperatures. This Winter, try focusing on baits that get reaction strikes, despite the cold, and you'll be surprised by the results. No matter what you choose, December gives you a great opportunity to catch a giant bass!

Below you'll find links to the exact baits, in the exact colors and sizes that we trust to catch these fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We've also included several of the key rod and reel combos we use to consistently catch fish with these presentations.

Winter Transition Bass Fishing! (Lipless, A–Rig, Plus Bonus Topwater!)

Let's go fishing!! Matt is back on the Tennessee River after the Buyer's Guides, and he's ready to catch some fish! Watch as he eliminates water, builds a pattern, and starts catching fish! By the end he's catching them on every cast!

Whenever you've been away from the lake it takes time to locate fish. Today Matt got some clues with the Tactical Micro Rig, but really had to work for the rest of the puzzle pieces. By the end he figured out a great lipless crankbait bite, and that topwater fish was an awesome late–season bonus fish!

Below you'll find links to all the baits he caught fish on. We've included the exact sizes and colors for each, as well as some of the great rod and reel combos he was fishing. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each.
