My FAVORITE Wintertime Bait Mod…(Bass Fishing)

When bass get pressured or finicky, downsizing your drop shot bait can make all the difference. In this video, I start by catching a bass on a drop shot, then break down one of my favorite bait mods that helps me get more bites consistently.

I’m fishing a Strike King Filler worm, and while it comes in multiple sizes, I prefer to downsize it to about 3¾ inches. This simple adjustment creates a more subtle profile that bass can’t resist—especially when they’re not fully committing to larger baits.

One of the biggest advantages of the Strike King Filler worm is that it floats on its own, meaning you don’t have to overwork your rod tip to keep the bait active. That natural presentation leads to more strikes and better hookups.

In this video, I show you:
• Why downsizing your drop shot worm matters
• How to trim and rig the Strike King Filler
• When this bait mod works best
• How it helps catch more bass with less effort

If you’re looking to improve your drop shot game and catch more bass, this is a must-try technique. The Strike King Filler worm is available at Strike King and is definitely a bait you should have tied on.
