Kicking off 2026, I’ve been dialing in my top 5 bass lures for January’s chilly waters. Blade baits are my MVP for sluggish winter bass—just drop and lift for that irresistible vibration. Swimbaits and underspins are super versatile, whether you’re on a boat or casting from shore. Jerkbaits still rule for those finicky bites, especially with a slow, patient retrieve. Crankbaits work wonders over rocky bottoms, and the Ned rig is a lifesaver for bank anglers. What’s your winter go-to? Share your favorites and let’s swap tips for landing big ones this season! #News #BassFishing #FishingTips
