These Winter finesse tricks can save your fishing! If you’re struggling to get bit, it’s time to adapt. Turning to finesse presentations isn’t giving up, it’s a smart choice to consistently catch Winter bass. Tim pays close attention to subtle details, as well as key sizes and colors when he’s trying to fool stubborn bass in cold water.

Power fishing in Winter is really fun, but it doesn’t always work. When fishing gets tough, Tim focuses on 3 key concepts to get bit. Slowing Down, Downsizing, and focusing on baits with subtle action, are all critical pieces of the puzzle for cold water fish. From his football jig to his ned rig, there are subtle nuances that Tim believes give him an upper hand on the water.

Below you’ll find links to the exact baits Tim discussed in the video. We’ve included his favorite colors, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos he uses to fish these baits effectively.
