These Baits Catch Fish When The Bite Is Terrible! ( Winter Bass Fishing )



Come along for a fun Winter day on the water! We’re throwing the new Tactical Micro Flex Rig, plus a bunch of other great cold water baits! The conditions aren’t perfect but we know exactly what it takes to get these bass to bite. If you’ve wondered how to catch bass consistently in the cold, especially on the tough days, this one is for you!

We love to focus on the good days, when the conditions are cooperating and the bass are biting. However, those aren’t always the conditions we face. Sometimes its clear skies, post frontal conditions, heavy winds, and cold water. When bass don’t want to bite, these are the baits we turn to! If you haven’t heard about our Micro flex rig yet, this is what it’s made for!

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear Matt used throughout the day. We’ve included all the Rig components, swimbaits, colors, and any other relevant details. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

  1. Thanks, Matt. No flip-flop sightings, so it MUST have been cold. Good luck to those heading out to have a go at the bass today or over the weekend, and I hope everyone has a fantastic Friday!

  2. Mornin Y'all! I hear Sandhill cranes. Those used to come through the area when I lived in Indiana. They make quite the distinctive racket. 😊 I love that micro rig. With Armor shad on it, its got to be crazy subtle! Love that idea. That Damiki works great on the bluff walls, I imagine that rig is fire!
