Super User DitchPanda Posted March 5, 2021 Super User Posted March 5, 2021 So for bottom fishing in cold water I've usually used shaky, Ned and of course a jig. I'm looking for recommendations for plastics to fish in cold water on a Texas rig? Just want another option Quote
Super User Spankey Posted March 5, 2021 Super User Posted March 5, 2021 Maybe some tubes. Overall maybe not as popular as years ago. Throw in some grubs also. Just ways I still fish. Even though not a lot of talk about it these days. Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Beaver style baits, not a lot of action but the glide usually sets the fish off in cold water! 2 Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted March 5, 2021 Global Moderator Posted March 5, 2021 Beavers with small appendages, Rage Menace, Zoom Speed Craws Stick baits, Trick worm Single or double tail grubs, Lizards Mike 1 Quote

Came back up and the first suggestion is tubes. Just such a good simple general bait in enough (so many) colors you’ll easily find a few that work good. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 6, 2021 Super User Posted March 6, 2021 Tubes, creature baits, plastic worms. The same baits I use in summer. 2 Quote
Super User FryDog62 Posted March 6, 2021 Super User Posted March 6, 2021 A floating shaky head IMO has the subtle undulation so you don’t over-work it which is counterproductive in cold water. Quote
papajoe222 Posted March 6, 2021 Posted March 6, 2021 Floating worms shouldn't be overlooked. As the water warms, that surface layer will be warmer than the deeper water and the bass will use it, not just to absorb the warmth, but to forage. Zoom makes a floating TrickWorm that gets a lot of use up here after ice-out. Quote

Super User Mobasser Posted March 7, 2021 Super User Posted March 7, 2021 Years ago I read in a magazine that bass doubt strike soft plastics in colder water. Many people thought this, but it's not true. A small plastic worm fished super slowly has worked for me. It's slow going for sure. Quote
