There are two very different approaches to bass fishing in December. Many anglers turn to finesse presentations and slow retrieves to catch lethargic bass. This can be very effective but it’s also mundane when you’re struggling through cold temperatures. This Winter, try focusing on baits that get reaction strikes, despite the cold, and you’ll be surprised by the results. No matter what you choose, December gives you a great opportunity to catch a giant bass!
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits, in the exact colors and sizes that we trust to catch these fish. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item. We’ve also included several of the key rod and reel combos we use to consistently catch fish with these presentations.
