❄️ December TOP 4: Cold Water Confidence Baits 🎣🔥 IKE: IN THE SHOP
❄️ Hey everybody, Mike Iaconelli back in the shop! Winter is here and the water is COLD — but the bass don’t stop eating just because it’s December. In this video I’m breaking down my TOP FOUR BAITS for the entire month, with two picks for the North and two picks for the South.
Up North? We’re talking 30s, 40s, maybe low 50s. Everything slows down — metabolism, baitfish, the whole deal — so you’ve got to match your presentation.
Down South? It’s still winter, but those fish act totally different… and the right bait will smoke ’em.
Here’s the lineup:
• Metal Blade Bait — the ultimate yo-yo winter killer
• Compact Skirted Jig — slow, low, and crawling
• Tight-Wobble Flat-Side Crankbait — the Fritz Side magic
• Alabama Rig / Triple Minnow Rig — early-winter bait-ball imitator
These four lures will catch fish all December long, no matter where you live. Winter doesn’t shut the bass down — it just changes how you should fish for them.
🎣 Try these in your home waters and I promise you’ll put more bass in the boat this month.
