Grub Fishing in Cold Water

[WB Staff]

Catching bass during the cold water period can certainly prove to be quite a challenge. Still there are plenty of tried and true tactics that come into play this time of year. Ned rigs, swimbaits, jigs, suspending jerkbaits and drop shots to name just a few all have their time and place when it comes to cold water fishing. You can be sure that these baits have a place in my boat, but in addition to these staples, I have a well stocked 3700 storage box devoted solely to my favorite under the radar winter time bait, the Yamamoto Single Tail Grub.

Swimming a grub is a light line finesse technique that excels when the water is cold and clear. History has shown that grubs are proven year around fish catchers, but for me the grub really shines when the water temperatures are at their lowest of the year. The compact profile of a Yamamoto Single Tail Grub and the subtle vibration generated by its swimming tail does a great job of mimicking the shape and movement of a lethargic bait fish. Not only does it catch numbers of fish, it catches big ones as well and while it accounts for its share of largemouths, it excels on spotted bass and smallies.
