STOP Fishing Lipless CranksLike a Chatterbait (Cold Water)

Cold water bass fishing can be brutal — and if you’re not getting bit on a lipless crankbait (rattle bait), it’s usually not the lure… it’s how you’re fishing it. In this winter-to-prespawn deep dive, I break down exactly when, where, and how to fish lipless crankbaits to find fish fast and trigger bites when other baits fall flat.

You’ll learn my cold-water system for lipless cranks: the staging areas to start on (flats, points, channel swings), how warming vs cooling trends change where they set up, and the retrieves that actually get bites (yo-yo, side-pull/stop-go, ripping grass). I also cover why color, size, and sound matter more with this bait than almost anything else — plus the common mistakes that keep guys from getting bit.
