A lot of anglers misunderstand Metal baits. They look at these hunks of metal hanging on the pegs at their local tackle shop and can’t believe bass would eat them. It’s not until you see the action in the water that they’ll begin to make sense. After the first few bites, you’re shocked by the realization that fish can’t resist these lures! Cold water bass fishing with metal baits can be incredible! Now, not all baits are created equal and we definitely have a few favorites.
Below you’ll find links to the exact baits and gear we discussed in the video. We’ve included our favorite sizes, colors, and hook upgrades for each. We’ve also included our favorite rod and reel combos for fishing these baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
