Now that winter is settling in, fish don't eat all day and don't need as much food. But they usually inhabit food areas with deep water nearby and hover there until early spring. Mastering lures that are suitable for winter fishing will help you catch more fish during winter fishing.
1. Jerkbait
In winter, a suspending or slow-sinking jerkbait can work well. Because a Jerkbait can fish at a variety of depths, speeds, and cadence. However, jerkbait anglers must be patient. You will need to change your fishing rhythm frequently, such as long twitch pauses. The slower the retrieve, the better the jerkbait produces.
2. Blade bait
Blade baits are deadly in cold water. Thin metal construction allows them to sink like rocks. Blade baits are suitable for working at the 45-degree shore and offshore high points. Not only does it produce good results when fishing vertically, but it also produces excellent results when combing deep water haunts when casting.
3. Underspin
Underspin is a jig head with a small leaf blade attached to the bottom. Underspin can be paired with any swimbait to imitate a herring. Underspin covers a lot of water and provides a lot of added action. And it provides additional fish-attracting flash with its bright willow blade. They are perfect for suspended fish, and when big bass is hanging out around timber or a brush pile below the surface.
4. Spinnerbait
The Spinnerbait is one of the most versatile lures in an angler's tackle box and can be used year-round. Spinnerbaits work best when fishing near covered vegetation such as logs, stems, fallen trees, lilies, and sandbars. In winter, medium to small spinnerbaits is suitable.
5. Jig
Using jigs to work slowly on substructure and cover such as rocks and wood in winter can be a good strategy. There is a plastic bait at the end of the jig to show off the tempting action. Dark colors work best when fish are slowed by the weather, so opt for black and blue jigs in winter.
