Winter is prime time to fish a variety of metal baits. Blade Baits and tail spins were born out of necessity in the heart of Winter. Jigging spoons and flutter spoons have amazing fish catching abilities any time baitfish are around. If you&#8217;re not putting these metal baits to work for you, you&#8217;re leaving fish behind in the cold water months!<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;t believe bass would eat them. It&#8217;s not until you see the action in the water that they&#8217;ll begin to make sense. After the first few bites, you&#8217;re shocked by the realization that fish can&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>Below you&#8217;ll find links to the exact baits and gear we discussed in the video. We&#8217;ve included our favorite sizes, colors, and hook upgrades for each. We&#8217;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. <\/p>\n<p>*BLADE BAITS&#8230;*<br \/>\n\u2022Megabass Dyna Response (1\/2 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2R7FlvL\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2R7FlvL<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Jukucho Shad, Ito Hiau<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Damiki Vault (1\/4 \u2013 1\/2 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2rnO7e2\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2rnO7e2<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Black Holo, Real Shad, Holo Cyber Purple<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Silver Buddy (1\/2 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2AcTelj\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2AcTelj<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Silver Plated <\/p>\n<p>*HOOK UPGRADES FOR VAULT&#8230;*<br \/>\nSplit Rings\u2013 Owner Hyperwire: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2v8ArBX\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2v8ArBX<\/a><br \/>\nSizes: 2 and 3 (3 on tail and head, 2 on belly)<br \/>\nHooks\u2013 Owner STX 38: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2oNIeCD\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2oNIeCD<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 6<\/p>\n<p>*FLUTTER SPOON&#8230;*<br \/>\n\u2022Nichols Lake Fork Flutter Spoon: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ICAGKL\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2ICAGKL<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Shattered Glass Silver, Purple Threadfin<\/p>\n<p>*JIGGING SPOONS&#8230;*<br \/>\n\u2022Nichols Blade Runner Duh Spoon: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4cSEVki\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/4cSEVki<\/a><br \/>\nSize: 3\/4 \u2013 1 3\/4 oz<br \/>\nColors: Morning Dawn UV, Sierra UV, Shattered Glass Silver<\/p>\n<p>\u2022War Eagle Jigging Spoon (7\/8 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H9dJV1\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2H9dJV1<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Nickel, Purple Shad<\/p>\n<p>*TAIL SPINS&#8230;*<br \/>\n\u2022Jackall Deracoup (1\/2 \u2013 3\/4 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2p8X4b0\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2p8X4b0<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Silver, Clear Shad, Dera Shad<\/p>\n<p>\u2022Damiki Axe Blade (3\/4 \u2013 1 oz): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2w2uB9t\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2w2uB9t<\/a><br \/>\nColors: Black Holo, Holo Real Shad<\/p>\n<p>*BLADE\/TAIL SPIN COMBO&#8230;*<br \/>\nRod\u2013 Shimano Expride 7&#8217;2&#8243; Medium Light: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/32IrXqE\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/32IrXqE<\/a><br \/>\nReel\u2013 Shimano Curado 70 MGL (HG): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2apmDJt\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2apmDJt<\/a><br \/>\nLine\u2013 Sunline FC Fluorocarbon (12 lb): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/2h4LNjm\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/2h4LNjm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*HIGH END SPOON COMBO&#8230;*<br \/>\nRod\u2013 Fenwick World Class 7&#8217;1&#8243; Medium Heavy: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3qbGEya\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3qbGEya<\/a><br \/>\nReel\u2013 Abu Garcia Zata Tact\u2013Z: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3B8E7Ks\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3B8E7Ks<\/a><br \/>\nLine\u2013 Seaguar InvizX (20 lb): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2oVsG2Y\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2oVsG2Y<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*BUDGET BLADE\/TAIL SPIN COMBO&#8230;*<br \/>\nRod\u2013 Shimano SLX A 6&#8217;10&#8221; Medium: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2L3wppO\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2L3wppO<\/a><br \/>\nReel\u2013 Shimano SLX XT A (HG): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3YgnWE8\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3YgnWE8<\/a><br \/>\nLine\u2013 Seaguar Red Label (12 lb): <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/2LOVEwA\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/2LOVEwA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>*TACTICALBASSIN LURE DESIGNS (AND APPAREL)*<br \/>\nWe have a variety of custom lure designs and apparel available!
