Hey everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I've been an avid bass angler since I was little, and just recently started going full steam again (in terms of research, time spent fishing, buying tackle, etc.)...when the weather was warmer I was going at least a couple of times a week, but the cold weather has obviously slowed some things down.
That being said, I don't want to pack up for the winter either, but I do want to make the most of my time when I'm out as I'm pretty sure we all do. I've bought a bunch of lipless crankbaits lately in varying colors (shad, bream, craw, and firetiger for different conditions). I hear they are good for cold weather bass, and caught a bass the other day using one. I've also heard some good things about bladebaits for winter bass, but don't really want to invest if there isn't much of a difference between them for these conditions. I will probably buy at least one for now regardless, but just wondering people's opinions. Is one clearly better than the other, are there positive and negatives to both, or is there really no difference?
