I've had luck lately with the red eye shad in different colors, and because of that bought a bunch of them during black Friday/cyber Monday for different colors and backups since I was finding such great deals. You could say I went all in on the red eye shad after hearing and now knowing it works That being said, I'll still be picking up some blade baits to use if I happen to have no luck with different colors of the RES. My favorite part about the RES is how you can give it a nice rip after it gets hung up on forage and it will usually get its action back. Casts like a champ too!

Thanks a lot! That is exactly the kind of post I was looking for, and the video summed it up nicely, with a nice catch to boot I am definitely focusing on the dying shad technique and slow retrieve for cold weather. I may just add a few bladebaits to my tackle just in the case the lipless aren't performing so I've got more options, but for now I'll put more focus toward the lipless. I seem to hear more about them, but I wasn't sure if that was because not enough people know about/are using the bladebaits.

Hey everyone, this is my first post on this forum. I've been an avid bass angler since I was little, and just recently started going full steam again (in terms of research, time spent fishing, buying tackle, etc.)...when the weather was warmer I was going at least a couple of times a week, but the cold weather has obviously slowed some things down. That being said, I don't want to pack up for the winter either, but I do want to make the most of my time when I'm out as I'm pretty sure we all do. I've bought a bunch of lipless crankbaits lately in varying colors (shad, bream, craw, and firetiger for different conditions). I hear they are good for cold weather bass, and caught a bass the other day using one. I've also heard some good things about bladebaits for winter bass, but don't really want to invest if there isn't much of a difference between them for these conditions. I will probably buy at least one for now regardless, but just wondering people's opinions. Is one clearly better than the other, are there positive and negatives to both, or is there really no difference?
