MICRO SWIMBAIT Fishing for Deep Winter BASS

This is one cool swimbait technique for targeting winter bass in cold water. Using a bass head jig with a light wire hook and screw lock you tread on 3.5" or less swimbaits. In the video we caught most of our bass in deep clear water using the Scottsboro Tackle hand poured lure in a Dirty Hitch color pattern. It's important to use a little lighter fishing rod for this technique as well - I like a 7' M bait caster or a 7' M spinning rod if I'm using a jig 1/4 oz or less. If you have super cold water temperatures or just ultra pressured fishing and need a finesse tactic that covers water, this technique might be the ticket.

What swimbaits, jigs, and fishing rods were we using?

just started watching fishing video again after like a year of losing interest in fishing. dude your channel is so good man. i can't believe how many ppl out there just click baiting so hard now a days. "HUGE SWIMBAITS FOR MASSIVE BASS!" and they don't even catch a single fish. i honestly can't believe the amount of fishing videos there are now a days where the person goes fishing and catches nothing. every video i've watched of yours has been awesome and super direct. keep up the good work

[nateperry]

Much better pure bass fishing videos then those googan squad guys. Keep it up. Also you know costa will send you all new frames if you contact there warranty department. I had a pair for 7 years and they replaced mine.

[terryclowers]

Great video 👍 boggs is the O.G. in his sweater! 😎like these videos of Alabama can use the same here in East Tennessee

I fish small swimbaits up northeast here all year long. Come cold water period they shine. I've had success all the way into the 30 degree water temps with them. My setup is very similar to yours. One thing I will do in super cold, deep water is downsize to a 1/4 head with a Keitech Easy Shiner on a spinning setup with 8# fluoro. Fishing it in 40 to 50 foot for big ole smallies. Keep doing your thing man 👊💯

[davidthomas]

Yes I love the finesse swim bait. I throw it on the dirty jigs guppy head. Going to get that Scottsboro ball head and give it a try. Thanks 👊🏻

[EricRomines]

Works great up here on Cherokee lake. Especially right now this time of the year, we catching some giant smallmouth.

[andrewmyers]

Man I am sick of this hard water up here in Wisconsin. Great video Mikey keep them coming, get me through the winter!!!!

[kriskuehn]

Great Video... love finesse swimbait fishing

[ctyakfishin]

Awesome video dude! I'll be trying those baits out. Tight lines from Connecticut 🤘

[lazaropenalver]

Dude, I love your videos. You are a bad ass and keep it straight real. As a co-angler some of your tips help me get ahead of the game and most boaters lol.
Would it be possible to actually make vid of what if “you” were a co-angler. What would you do, and how to out-fish the competition (boaters)? Or at least get better?

[BravoBassin]

great video and I love fishing small swimbaits for big bass I actually caught my largest bass last year 6.8 pounder on a 3 ibch Zman slim swim swim bait love it!

[badmofo]

I really like the Jackall Rhythm Wave 2.8. I been catching em with those on a 1/0 flashy swimmer on spinning gear.

[MisterTwister]

Nice seeing open water Mikey. You can walk across the lake here 😀

[mikegardiner]

Hey Mikey! Yes absolutely love the finesse and micro (as you call it) swim baits. Ditto everything you’re saying bro. Once you get above 1/4, better to go with a casting reel and maybe 10 pound floro. Also totally agree with the slightly green back on the swim bait. That reminds me, I need to get back out there and hit those ditches. God bless
