5 Winter Bait Tricks You've Got To Try! ( The Baits We Really Use )

[@brianrobinson9979]

I just picture us bank fisherman throwing a Damiki rig, freezing our butts off, and thinking to ourselves "I know Matt said give it as little action as possible, but I'm pretty sure my shivering is blowing this bait out..." 😅👍

[@bfstackledirect]

The shiver is the key!

[@midwestfischerman]

Isn't ice fishing Damiki rigging??? Or mid-strolling, or mopping?🤷🏼‍♂️🎣🥶🧊❄️

[@brianrobinson9979]

@@bfstackledirect because it's kind of erratic? 🤔

[@D-Rod95]

This might sound dumb but can you use the hover rig from the bank? I thought it was a vertical presentation

[@brianrobinson9979]

@D-Rod95 he explained that in the video

[@robio5864]

Thanks for the tips and the shout out to us bank guys.

[@douglasspickler4925]

Very good. I like the addition of the chartreuse Senko. Thanks for sharing your great tips.

[@MathewPinkerton]

I feel like I’m going to to catch old Bertha! Black and blue jig all the way!

[@anthonybenoit222]

Thanks you for the bank angler help. Bank winter fishing is tough but rewarding. Great video like always

[@mroshfosh]

Been watching you guys for years man.. thanks for all the info.. you guys put me on so many fish! Tight lines and fish on!

[@jimmyandrews8972]

Same here

Been watching u for years ....me and my 6 year old do alot of shore fishing thank u for including us in this video ur the man !! U guys and all ur info is a game changer ! God Bless!

🔥🔥Matt those tricks is ABSOLUTELY AWESOME,thank you❤

[@toddpossum]

Thanks!

[@dennisederer3594]

Excellent presentation as always. Going to repack my day box.

[@davidlanphere5817]

good morning, Matt, knocked it out of the park as always!

[@larryvilla6869]

New favorite cold water bait is the 3.3 inch mulletron. That wedge tail on that little guy on a dirty jigs guppy head underspin is so subtle and I can fish it ultra slow on those, or I can put it on tiny little ewg swing head and fish it ultra ultra slow like you would do with a hud. It’s something you should check out I pound smallies on them in gold rush and white. Everything about the bait is incredible. Come spring I will be burning it subsurface through weeds for north Idaho largies.

[@vincentgelles3805]

Have you tried that Owner Range Roller head for mid strolling? I got on the best winter bite I’ve ever had from shore using the range roller head with the Crush City freeloader. I remembered you saying a bait with flat sides or two tone colors works best. The bait I used had both and the action that jighead has is amazing! It’s the most fun I’ve had all winter especially since I didn’t have to resort to a Ned or drop shot to catch’em!

[@haroldrogers6566]

I love that winter time jig trick. I’ll try it in a tournament weekend. It makes fish sense 😊

[@gpharned]

Love TB! About the chartreuse piece added to the jig and the statement that adding dipped tails ends up with the tails bitten off. I find this happening most of the year, so this year I’m adding chartreuse towards the head off my plastic. Thanks!

[@jesseboyden3119]

We finally froze over here in MARYLAND. Fun is over for a minute lol.

[@andybales7318]

Here's another tip..those clear, plastic sleeves some baits come with over the hook point..that bait is weedless! I used 1 for hours, no snags & no fish...😂 took me hours to realize I forgot to take that sleeve off

[@DavidBronstein1961]

Been there done that!!

[@midwestfischerman]

How 'bout them DETROIT LIONS!!!🦁🏈💪🏻

[@shaunroberts9361]

Got to love the little tricks..

[@roberthuber8735]

Can you place a tube on the ned head so it sets out of the mud bottom

[@WizCudder1]

Good stuff Matt. February is close…

[@samaxe3489]

I just got some of the weedless ned heads from tackle warehouse couple weeks ago.

[@johnfugate3432]

Will give that a try thanks

[@colt110987]

On the savanna river chain it’s gotta be a shakey head senko! Usually clear clean water but occasionally not, in cold water it just catches on the hardest days! Great stuff

[@ReactionGiants]

I’ve been playing with the duo realis versa shad fat 5.0 is perfect rn just to slowly work the bank

[@abyn8220]

Thanks for another informative video. Have you guys ever done a sunglass review? Sunglass review with a colorblind person on the boat on the same day?!! Most color blind ppl do see colors, its just some colors blend into 1 dominant color. Thanks again for all that you guys do.

[@brianpierson7708]

Let’s get it

[@ReactionGiants]

Your jig trick looks like a good idea bc I don’t own any normal sized chartreuse jigs for bottom contact, why isn’t there some for small mouth at least and could convert for bfs

[@brandonsmith606]

Been a while since you pulled out that jig trick I'd almost forgot. Thanks for the great tips as always

[@CrackingBass]

“Game changer” is such an overused term. However, the EWG weedless ned was such a change for me. I refused/hated the ned because of the constant snag/break off pre EWG. - That chartreuse core trailer trick is great! I wonder if that would work well with red, to add a little pop to natural baits for the early spring.

[@pj3p488]

Tactical t shirt, burn burn burn pause, dongggg.

[@davidhidalgo5662]

Im trying to chose what Expride spinning rod to buy to use your 1/8 underspin and plain 1/8 jig head with 2.8 Keitech fat swing impact trailer. Light or medium light. I have been using a St. Croix ML extra fast and want to make the switch to Expride. Thank you for all you do.

[@justyngilliam4051]

Are you guys gonna be at the Knoxville fishing expo this weekend?

[@jakerinaldi4766]

Do you guys ever go with any of the weedless tube heads? I just can’t throw them on an exposed hook out here.

[@shootincoyotes]

Hmm, now I'm wondering if a Bubble Gum core on the jig might be good in the spring?🤔

[@nh_fishing_gal]

On the A-Rig, what are you using to connect the dummies to the rig? Is it just a twist lock or a "dummy" head?

[@DavidBronstein1961]

My local ponds have heavy muck on bottom so soaking a tube or ned rig on bottom I don’t think will work? Won’t it just get buried in muck and not be seen by bass? Or are the baits light enough to not sink in?

[@briancrawford1841]

How long do you make your leaders on braid to flourocarbon and braid to mono?

[@parrothead5977]

I’m struggling. Lol my local pond has an 1” of ice

[@chuckpugh5997]

Appreciate you and Tim. Absolutely the best on the tube. Wanted to use this forum to see if anyone else was as upset as I am with the new tacklewarehouse websites layout? It just sucks for lack of a better word..

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

Just a heads up some of the links for the baits are not working

[@onfootbassin]

I know A-Rigs are amazing I colder water, but is there such thing as water that is too cold? Can you through it in water under 35 degrees?

[@ReactionGiants]

The owner ball head ewg works really good threw rocks from the bank, doesn’t have a bait keeper but don’t 90% of us superglue anyways? 😅

[@richardblake4777]

Matt, purple and black grape have been my best plastics colors since the 60's. Also, love your tip about adding a bit of chartreuse to jigs. You and I'm are so far ahead of the field it isn't funny. And, I remember when you did these at home and were pretty camera shy. How far TB has come in a fairly short time . Thank you guys for what you do.

[@Mr.Higgs.]

I always find a bright colored ned rig is a good deal, but I don't think I'll get through 10 inches of ice right bout now.

[@markphilippsjr]

The bank Anglers take it up the Wazoo in the winter😂

[@eddiemendoza6259]

Wish it wasn't iced over where I fish... thanks

[@tacticalbassin]

Our local boat ramps are iced over as well. We've been driving to open water.

[@Murph275]

So help me out guys, these guys are confusing to me. They say slow down in the winter and downsize and use drop shots and ned rigs slow, but then the next video I watch of theirs they say speed crank and use swimbaits and get the predator instinct going. Seems contradicting to me. Do I slow down, downsize, and use finesse, or am I speed cranking and using swimbaits/swim jigs? In NorCal btw

[@tacticalbassin]

You need to fish the extremes, or end or the other. You either need to draw a cire response (reaction strike) or slow all the way down and finesse for the ones that want to feed.
