Lures for fall and winter

Featured Replies

What are some good lures for fall and wintar?Color's too,thanks ;)

Fall=Crankbaits,Topwater,Spinnerbaits

Winter=Float N Fly,Float N Fly, and well Float N Fly

I agree with booneangler with the fall lures.  This is the time of the year i rarely even use a soft plastic.  Fast moving lures that make noise and vibrations are the ones to use.

One of my choices sonar_lure_edited1.jpgImg_0758.jpg

Bouncing these off the bottom, on a slow retrieve is deadly during the cold period

manns 1- and most jerkbaits... catch fish in the snow with both of these, color never mattered much in winter but i liked clown and bone white

I like reaction baits in the fall.

Hard jerkbaits and hair jigs in the winter.

I use the same baits year round with only minor changes; ROF (rate of fall) with bottom lures and speed/depth of retrieval for all others.

If y'all aint using all the baits mentioned as fall or winter baits year round y'all are missing some golden opportunities.

Why would you not use slow moving lures like plastics or jigs when the bass are actively feeding?  

Fall: In the fall I do well with soft plastics, crankbaits, spinnerbaits, chatterbaits and jigs. Occasionally a frog.

Winter: The only thing I can catch em with in the winter is a small suspending jerkbait. My favorite being a rapala husky jerk in the smallest size I can find, I find the fish to go for very small baits in the winter. I believe the rapala husky jerk size I use is like 1 1/2inch. I fish it very slowly, jerk jerk, 8sec pause, jerk 6sec pause, jerk jerk 10sec pause.. etc. I have tryed jigs in the winter, but have never had any success.

fall: topwater, shallow cranks, spinnerbaits, soft plastics

late fall/ early winter: lipless cranks, shakey heads

winter: jerkbaits, dropshot, and jigging spoons-SLOW

I'm a bit more North than a lot of our members here at BR, so our bassin' window is much much smaller.  Keeping that in mind, one of my most productive lures in the fall is a t-rigged seven inch Berkley Power Worm (and this is going back 10-15 years).

Winter, well that's easy: a big shiner or golden roach on a Gammy or Owner treble; a fluoro leader; freeze resistant backing line; and a Frabill 10" Pro-Thermal tip-up.  ;)
