DYNAMIC DUO! These baits are crushing them!
As we've stated in the previous blogs, this cold weather is making it tougher and tougher to catch bass. Thankfully, we've found two baits that seem to be just what the fish are craving right now. These baits are none other than the bladebait and the drop shot rig. Back to the basics folks! From what we've been throwing, these two rigs have seemed to be pretty dang productive in multiple lakes in WNC. For those who don't know, the bladebait is almost like a simple lipless style crankbait. Compact in size, this bait features a weighted head with a literal blade as the body. The action is one that is simple yet effective. Yoyoing this bait off the bottom is great for this time of year as the shad are dying off. These baits are fairly cheap and are proving to be a lethal weapon for any fisherman now.
The dropshot rig is also becoming one of favorites recently. It's simplicity and elegance that it displays are driving these bass BONKERS in the cold water. This bait, along with the bladebait is a great search-bait, covering a ton of water in a quick amount of time. This increases the chances of catching more fish in a shorter span of fishing.
The water will be getting even colder yet, which means the bass will move on to other tactics. That just gives us as fishermen to improve our skills even further! We hope ya'll catch some hawgs this winter!
