Catching bass in cold water

[flippinmaster]

What kind of lures should I use for cold water bass.

[Guest avid]

Wow, talk about a broad topic  :exclamation  

I think the standard cold water bait is the jig an pig/plastic.

Jerk baits also work well.

slow rolling spinnerbaits work

and dead sticking a worm or soft plastic can work wonders if you know where the bass are and can stand the boredom of it.

Personally i moved to Florida so I wouldn't have to deal with that anymore  8-)

PS.  This is definitly shiner time.

dy-no-myte! (tied to a stick w/yo-zuri hybrid, of course!) Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I agree with avid, try some jigs, spinnerbaits, jerkbaits, and also throw some plastics on a c-rig and drop shot rig. And I've had luck lately throwing a crankbait that dives 8-10 ft. and reeling it fairly slow.

Although I haven't had that much luck at it,other than what avid wrote,dropshot,tubes,and jigging spoons are suposed to work too.Are there any smallmouth where you will be fishing.Flat-sided or small crankbaits work for them.
