Cold Winter Bass Fishing: Tubes, Jigs, and Mega Live Sonar

Its another cold, Winter day on the water! Our hands are frozen, the fish are cold, but the bite is on! Between catches Tim shows his Humminbird Mega Live unit where you can actually see bass swimming through the baitfish in front of the boat! Come along for an educational day on the water and watch as the guys use a jig and a tube to catch big bass during brutal conditions. 

We regularly talk about how we prefer to power fish through the Winter months. Once in a while, the fish just won't cooperate. This is one of those days. The fish are on bottom, around cover, and won't chase at all. Luckily the guys are ready with a finesse football jig and a heavy tube to fool these lethargic bass into biting. They don't get a lot of bites, but the ones they get are really nice fish!

Below you'll find links to the baits, gear, and electronics the guys were using. We've included our favorite sizes and colors where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
