Want to catch bigger bass? This is prime time to do it! Catching a new PB is achievable and we want to help you do it! There are a handful of proven baits that produce consistent success once you understand HOW and WHEN to fish them. Come along as we dive into the mindset behind targeting trophy bass in the Fall and Winter.
Trophy bass are caught consistently using a two-part method. You’ll need to dial in two different patterns to work at different times. You’ll want a bait that imitates the bass’ favorite forage during “prime time” to fool them into biting, but you’ll also need to identify a bait that can trigger a feed response during lower percentage times of day.
Understanding which baits to throw at what time of day makes all the difference. In previous videos we’ve discussed exactly where these big bass are located this time of year but the missing piece of the puzzle until today was understanding WHEN to target those fish.
Below you’ll find links to our favorite baits to “fool” the bass along with our favorite baits to trigger a “feed response”. The links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you’ll see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
