New Dice Technique Taking Cold Water Bass Fishing by Storm is changing how anglers catch suspended bass during winter and early spring cold fronts. When cold water bass fishing gets tough and the strike zone shrinks, this finesse dice bait rig keeps the bait in their face longer and triggers bites other rigs won’t.

In this video, we break down the NEW XZone Lures GBO Dice from their Stealth Finesse Series and show you how to rig it with a Queen Tackle line-through tungsten nail weight and a small treble hook. This unique line-through dice bait rig allows you to control fall rate, fish suspended bass around docks, marinas, brush piles, and floating structure, and match small threadfin shad during a winter shad kill. If you’re fishing Highlands reservoirs, clear water lakes, or using forward facing sonar (FFS / LiveScope), this cold water finesse technique can be deadly from the middle of winter through prespawn.

About this video:
This video covers cold water bass fishing techniques, suspended bass fishing, winter finesse fishing, dice bait rigging, and how to control fall rate for lethargic bass. We compare salted vs non-salted dice baits, discuss stealth finesse presentations, and show how to fish this rig around floating docks, brush piles, rock piles, grass edges, and open water structure. Whether you’re kayak fishing, bank fishing, or bass boat fishing with forward facing sonar, this line-through dice rig is a powerful alternative to the drop shot, wacky rig, or jig head minnow when bass won’t chase. If you’re targeting smallmouth, largemouth, or spotted bass during cold fronts, this subtle technique can dramatically increase your catch rate in winter and early spring.
