TacticalBassin's New Cold Water Crankbait! Catch Your Biggest Bass This Winter!

[@Kevinbull1000]

Hi Guys. I’m from South Africa and I imported some of your cranks, I threw it for the first time during my FLW comp!!! I caught 15 fish in 15 casts and 3 were upgrades for my bag!!!! Well done on producing and amazing crank bait! Hope you guys come for a visit one day and catch some wild African bass with me!!!!

[@brandonw409]

If these guys told me to throw a dirty sock with treble hooks on it, I’d do it.

[@tacticalbassin]

[@erniesanders3724]

That bass was a beast Tim. Wow! Twice as big as any I've ever caught. 😳 Tactical Rocks. The best bass fishermen on the internet. Period. Thanks guys.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Ernie! It was a MONSTER... it doesn't get more stressful than having to net a giant on light line... except maybe to be in Tim's spot hoping I don't mess it up 😂

[@danielbeavers8701]

It's crazy how much bigger the fish are in different lakes. I live on the Georgia Alabama line in North West Georgia and you don't see a lot of 10 lb up here. But I went to Florida and my first fish was over 8lb I thought I did something but then just about every fish I got was around that size. It's really fun if you live in Florida or out west they have some monsters. Ofcorse it charges lake to lake. I think Mike Long learned this early on lol! POS!

[@jeffventura8900]

This is the perfect profile I have been looking for in a DD. I had to get a blood craw before they ran out. Awesome job guys, can't wait to test them out this weekend.

[@graysoncookfishing9210]

This is the best crankbait I’ve ever used, went out yesterday and had the best day of crankin I’ve had in my life the guys in the boat were throwing Norman’s and strike king and I literally caught 10 to there one.

[@brianlee9074]

Great looking lure. Recently picked one up in the ghost minnow color. Can't wait to use it!

[@jsslush]

Thanks Matt & Tim, My son and I have been watching your videos, and catching more fish putting your advice into practice. Thanks for making clean videos my whole family can watch!

[@tacticalbassin]

Absolutely! Thank you for the support 👍

[@grayghost9499]

Update.... Y'alls new crankbait outperformed everything else I tried 4-1 in calm 39° Oklahoma stain water. No PB but a decent 3.4lbs is good enough for a Monday. Fishing between 2-20 feet deep, 30Lbs braid to 15Lbs fluoro on a 7'2" with 7.3:1 gear, slow and steady did for me.... Once again, I'm very impressed !

[@tacticalbassin]

Awesome!

[@gsloat2424]

CONGRATS YOU TWO! NICE DESIGN! Im a disabled Amputee so when I get enough money I'll be picking one up! I love you 2, taught my 90% of my bass fishing, I love the channel watch new videos as they drop! I'm in Colorado representing, I tell all my angling friends about your channel!!!

[@seanokeefe2884]

I like how you guy's followed this video up with an alternatives video. Really shows how you are not just about the money. The Bass market is to flooded with people endorsing products they don't truly believe in. Please keep keeping it real.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Sean!

[@conger333]

Back ordered 4 of them, I’ll be trying to catch my first DD this winter (on Clearlake) I’ll let you know when it happens! Thanks for the great vids!

[@efakter1]

I love fishing smaller cranks in the winter from the bank. I normally use Rapala SR five or seven’s. However, I do have a river to see crank bait that I bought about four years ago very similar to the ones you have in your video that I love to death. Works amazing. I am a firm believer in cranking in the winter. Excellent video you guys.

[@NDDryfly]

I’m not certain I need another crankbait! But I’ve learned so much from you guys, I’m happy to help support TacticalBassin and add 3-4 of these to my collection. And based on how detailed you are in your techniques, I know these baits will get bit. Congratulations on the introduction.

[@davidsandoval2846]

vince orr albert that’s the beauty of humor, snowflake. It doesn’t necessarily have to be factual.

[@murdertech4272]

vince orr albert I’ll try harder next time. I’d hate to trigger anyone in the comment section of a bass fishing video.

[@murdertech4272]

vince orr albert not really triggered. Just trying to see how much anger drives someone to rail against something so pointless. I’ve been laughing about it, but if you ever need to hug it out, I’ll be here... in the comments section of a bass fishing video.

[@brandonmckinney1090]

Sold out in a few hours. I expected nothing less. Great job guys. Can't wait to get my hands on these!!

[@TheGdspruill]

Been watching for a little over a year now my bass techniques have gone through the ceiling I caught my personal best striper back in August on some techniques that the guys at tacticalbassin turn3d me on to and I also found a Hidden Gem here in Mobile County that most fishermen tend to blow off because they don't know how to catch the fish in Big Creek Lake.. if it gets cold here this year that lake runs about 65 ft deep and its undulating, I will be trying to find this bait in my local retailer hopefully they'll have them before it gets cold.. thanks for the hard work you guys do it keeps my fire lit!!!!

[@playoutside533]

This is awesome. FINALLY! We have gotten free fishing advice for years and now its time to get YOURS. I feel like I didn't know how to really fish before I started watching these videos. Ill take two.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you!!

[@thegiant573]

Exciting a new lure you guys worked on. Now for us bank fisherman how about a medium diving one. None of my ponds are that deep lol.

[@briannelsen1419]

Thank you for your hard work we "new" bass fishermen appreciate it!!!!!!

[@williespilman6237]

Just tried this bait out today, went out to my local lake and fished from dam, went out just to test action and feel, not expecting to catch anything as here in Missouri it was 65 degrees yesterday and 35 degrees today but to my surprise landed one bass in first 10 minutes before losing bait hung in snag….this was definitely not ideal fishing conditions with serious weather change but it did produce….will look forward to trying out in boat where if I am snagged I can probably not lose bait as from bank…..definitely 2 thumbs up, also bait runs deep without a lot of resistance so this is a great deep bait that doesn’t require special equipment

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks for the positive feedback! We're sorry to hear you lost it!

[@davidhidalgo5662]

Talk about being excited. I know the entire Tacticalbassin family is excited. I cannot wait to get my hands on some of these. Thank you for all you do.

They swam and look marvelous guys! I am so happy with the “school” I bought. Caught some of the nicest fish (off a rocky bluff) I’ve caught since last spring:-) 65 degrees outside in TX with 55 degree water (crazy ups and downs)! But the baits work, that’s for certain. 🎣 So happy for ya’ll.

[@dweskamp13]

Can't wait to use them on Table rock and Lake ozarks. Tired of same old jerk bait fishing. Can see it working here on our rocky banks. Ordered the green craw and 4 shad patterns. The green craw is killer here in wiggle wart styles glad you included it.

[@tacticalbassin]

Thank you Kirk! We're just a couple fisherman that love this sport 👍

[@getstartedlife]

I didnt get to the tank part of video before I pressed pause and ordered 3. I figured video had been up for 5 hrs at that point and they'd be gone quick. Good job guys you found yet another niche!!!

[@dustinlittrell89]

Pretty excited to give this bait a try. I typically spend winters cranking a rock crawler but this bait will hopefully become an alternate to that staple for the winter.

[@tacticalbassin]

Your'e exactly who we're talking to. You've already seen the magic... hopefully we can help those fish get even bigger 👍

[@zekereed5990]

LOL...I'm learning so much it hurts. I love it...now to convince the wife.....the water in eastern nevada is around 44 degrees...haven't had a bass bite in 30 plus days....thanks tactical, you guys are awesome.

[@buckmountaintaxidermy7788]

It's ironic how the reaction bite can be so hot in cold weather!I like the way y'all are making baits that covers nitches hard to find lures for!Thanks!👍

Thank you!! We hope you enjoy this one 👍

[@coltonminnich3052]

Can you do a video on what you wear out on the water in the winter. jackets, gloves, hats, boots and such. love the channel by the way.

[@logicalrationalfishing7481]

I have similar results at a local river in Arkansas. The fish will hit a dropshot or Keitech CREEPING slow but a shad rap or ripping a jerkbait will trigger them too...

[@lukealexander9479]

This looks awesome guys I will definitely have to get some! I have some questions though. So I live on the Cumberland river system it’s where I fish the most and it’s mostly dingy to muddy stained water with decent water clarity in winter and I was wondering if y’all ever fished this bait in this kind of water color and if it worked well. Also what kind of colors would you recommend? Also thank you guys for your time and energy you devote to making the fishing community great!!

[@tacticalbassin]

Hey Luke! We've caught a ton of fish in less than a foot of visibility on the baits. The clearer the water the better but don't let the murky stuff intimidate you. Especially if its consistently murky, if its the norm the fish don't care at all. Any of the colors should work, we designed them to be extremely universal.

[@Infidel_805_Outdoors]

Was just telling my tournament partner last week, "I wish there was a small profile deep diving crankbait out there..." You guys never disappoint!

[@tacticalbassin]

Ha! I'm happy we could help!

[@bayouburner281]

You guys are the epitome of “Figuring them out”, lol. This video solidified my belief on why you should stay opened minded to try new/dissimilar lures, putting away your staple baits and tying on something different.

[@tacticalbassin]

That is a FACT. No one fully understands bass yet. We all think we do, and we come close, but they still surprise even the best anglers every day.

[@mburke1211]

Just ordered a couple to try. I was on the bite you described last week. Water temp 61; bass suspending under schooled baitfish at ~20’. I had a MB crank very similar to this, and the bass were smashing it on pause/redirection. I should have re-tied - a big fish broke me off. I’ve been looking for a replacement, but couldn’t find the same model of MB. Thanks guys!

[@tacticalbassin]

Oh man, that is brutal!!! You know EXACTLY what we're talking about! Two of the MB's are excellent cold water cranks. 👍

[@phanatvang7288]

Perfect! Was looking for a smaller profile crank bait that dived deep.

[@jersey4755]

Again, congratulations to you both on your new bait. I know you are both very busy, but I really was hoping to hear back from you guys from my earlier comment 3 days ago. Which was whether these baits could be used with a crank bait specific spinning setup? Thanks for all the help, advice, and dedication. I have definitely learned a lot from you both.

[@kozakoutdoors7305]

A little pricey but I think this will fit a niche like they made it for. Just ordered 2 and should have them in a few days... will be fishing with, reviewing them, and posting the video by next week!

[@CBALLZ666]

[@tacticalbassin]

Thanks so much man! You have a keen eye! And you're correct... we focused on getting the baits dialed in, after that its totally out of our hands. We know absolutely zero about distribution.

Avid Subscriber and purchaser of MANY T.B. items on Tackle Warehouse along with my 10% Veteran's discount. THANK YOU, for designing this crank bait! I've been chunking the 6XD, 8XD, and even 10XD for a while and I've always wanted a smaller profile bait to get down to this depth. I will be buying as many as I can afford as soon as they get back in stock. With that said, I need to ask if you can get back into the River2Sea design center and develop this SAME BAIT that will reach the 20-24ft depth (Using 12lb Mono or Floro @ .014 dia). My BIG winter fish sit on road beds in this 20+ft depth. I can get there with the 8XD and ,of course, the 10XD... but after a day chunkin' and windin' my clients are flat wore-out! (And so am I) Really appreciate your dedication and time. Your YT videos are simply the BEST out there. Informative. Instructive. Invaluable! Keep it going guys!
