Popular Baits by Season
What bass are doing in the water, and what anglers are buying up to match — season by season.
Early Winter
Bass pull back from creek arms to bluffs, rock walls, and channel drop-offs — not fully shut down yet, so they’ll still eat a bait that sits still right in front of them. Suspending jerkbaits with long pauses, vertical blade baits and spoons, and hair jigs or Damiki rigs.
