soopd Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I fish a lot during winter time. I mainly use an a rig, chatterbait, grubs, and jigs. What style plastics are the most productive in wintertime? Our water temps get down to around 42 degrees. Quote
Ginosocalbass Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I've caught fish in winter on a taxes rigged chigger craw. Just fish slow. Quote
primetime Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Zoom Critter Craw...smaller size but both are good in cold water as they have limited action...As mentioned, any presentation can work or worm etc. but usually slow is key. I like to downsize usually, but a critter craw is a good start imo. Also grab some small 3" sassy shads on darter heads for suspended fish.....inexpensive and do the job. 1 Quote
Lucas Julian Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 I would Texas rig something with not a lot of action like straight tail worm or something. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 21, 2016 Global Moderator Posted January 21, 2016 Not a T-rig exactly, but I do well dragging a beaver on a swinging football head during the winter. I've also done well dragging a tube on a T-rig in cold water. 1 Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 21, 2016 Super User Posted January 21, 2016 Plastic craws for me - mostly Chigger Craws and Ultravibe Speed Craws. 6 Quote
camman Posted January 21, 2016 Posted January 21, 2016 Our water doesn't get cold as 42 degrees but I've done well with the Zoom Ultra-vibe speed worm. It has a little bigger profile with a little tail action Quote
Super User scaleface Posted January 21, 2016 Super User Posted January 21, 2016 The colder the water the slower I want the lure to fall . So instead of worms I like Craws with twister pincers . Havent tried it yet because I dont fish cold water much anymorw , but a hula grub should be effective . Quote
Nathan Burton Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Whichever you chose, fish it slow! Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 1, 2016 Super User Posted February 1, 2016 I use craws, finesse worms, and creature baits mostly. Anything small and compact. Quote
