Winter Crankbait Fishing (Shallow And Deep) | Full Seminar
Come along for a deep dive into Winter crankbait fishing! Matt begins with a demonstration on retrieves, then switches gears to color selection, bait style by depth, and a deep dive into specific bait designs by application. Anglers in the know, catch a ton of giant bass on crankbaits, you can be one of them!
Winter crankbait fishing is incredibly effective! Speed cranking for Winter bass is far more effective than everyone realizes, even in the coldest water temperature. Once you understand how to create the right action at different depths, this will become one of your key confidence baits. The words "Burn, Burn, Burn, Pause" will forever be in your head as you set the hook on another giant bass!
Below you'll find links to our favorite baits by category, as well as our favorite colors for each of those baits. We've also included our favorite rod and reel combos for each application and price point. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
