    Don't sleep on a lipless crank in the winter! Something in a red eye shad body style really works great for working all water depths. And you can even slow it down and fish it finesse!
    And yes, Jimi, I'm still here. I always watch 100% of the video!

  • @chrisfoley3320
    @chrisfoley3320 Год назад

    TIP! Add suspend strips so your crankbaits suspend or float up really slow. Your get way more bites, especially when you contact cover. Also i have been experimenting with adding a small willow blade to crankbaits and having good luck in really clear water. Good show man.

    In my area last week Christmas eve it was 3 degrees with 30-40 mph winds. Today its beautiful 64 degrees calm wind. Hooked up the Ranger 521C and went down to the river. Unfortunately the boat ramp is iced in. Dam the bad luck. Thanks for the video great content. I would have thrown some crankbaits today. Maybe tomorrow.

    Jimi, I am a bank angler fishing HIGHLY pressured waters in Southern California. I would like to see a video on how to use different baits and rigging techniques to get bigger quality fish.

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад

      Thanks for recommending! We have discussed doing bank fishing videos as along with kayak videos in the future.
      Jimi did bank fish a lot during his time in college on a highly pressured lake. He would only have his boat at school during certain months and the months he did not he would bank fish quite a bit. He mentions he thinks that made him a better angler.
      Thank you for watching!

  • @stevekeen7035
    @stevekeen7035 Год назад +1

    Good informative video Mr Easterling, hope I spelled it right. I have a question though. Ive only had success in cold water with very tight wobble cranks like shad raps with the exception of the old wiggle warts. How important do you think a tight wobble is in water in the low to mid 40s?

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад +2

      The tight wobble does work well when the water temps get in the low 40 range. Jimi, did not mention the shad rap, since he has not thrown them any in the last few years but they work really well in the situations you brought up. He wanted me to mention to you that he threw them on his last few trips since he has seen 42-44 degree water and has had success with them. Thanks for watching!

    Your thoughts on the Rapala Shad Rap. It has been a consistent producer for me in cold water, esp. big fish.

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад +1

      That is a great cold water crank bait. Jimi did not mention it because he has not thrown it in recent years. He did use it when he was younger.
      Even this day he filmed. He fished with it and caught a few fish with it. He did not want to go over this lure though since he has not had much experience with it in the recent years.
      Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

    Thanks Jimi. What temperature is it time to put the warts away? This year I was dealing with cold clearer water and could not buy a bite on wiggle warts.

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад

      There are a few factors to consider. Typically really really cold water you can still catch them with wiggle warts. Wind can help the bite and also slowing down the retrieve. Real slow.

    Do you target the sunny side of the lake in the winter or does it matter.

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад

      This is a good topic to discuss. A lot of anglers will mention to target the sunny side, Jimi from his experience has learned that in the right locations the shaded banks work really well. The bass will actually be shallower as it is still a low light condition scenario. Thanks for watching!

    Jason Christie says to throw jerkbait in 39 degree water, you say a crankbait in 40 degrees.
    My front graph reads 1 degree difference then the one at the console, which do I trust? Lol

    • @BassFishingDeclassified
      @BassFishingDeclassified  Год назад

      Either baits can be fished in the situation you have brought up. Most anglers prefer a jerkbait as the temps get in the low 40s to high 30s. Jason Christie is one of the best anglers in the country! He even shared a recent video where water temps were extremely cold and he started the day off with a lipless crankbait. Thank you for watching!

    That is only color you need for bass and walleye. Dark red. It is color off CRAWFIH + dark red collor is the one which bass and walleye see the best. But there is more about more staff. I think you should tell this on your video. It is more important then " I like this crack bait".
