Jerk Bait Keys

When I think about winter, I start to remember the success I have had fishing jerk baits. I can easily state that jerk baits have been a consistent performer of my fishing, especially in the cold water conditions.
Creative Cranking in the Winter
by Mike Gerry
Winter and cold water is an ideal time to become creative with crank bait. Using your imagination and being willing to try something different can be the key to catching deep fish in the winter!
When you’re running crank baits 20 ft. down, you can make magic happen you just have to be creative. Creative crank baiting is just easy to do; you just have to imagine what that bait is doing and make it do different things, present different looks and be a little different.
Bait Size Matters
by Mike Gerry
As winter slowly moves on it is a time of year where size matters; at no time during the fishing year is the size of your bait more important than now! If your wanting to catch big quality bass, fish with big baits, like 7 inch swim baits, ¾ oz. jigs with large trailers that give the jig a bulky look; even ¾ to 1 oz. spinner baits with large willow leaf blades will produce that big bite.
