Cold Water Power Fishing - Matt Arey
Winter
•
45m
Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Matt Arey, in collaboration with Bass University, presents a seminar focused on cold water power fishing.
Many anglers tend to avoid power fishing in colder conditions, but Arey embraces this technique to entice bass to strike. In this seminar, he shares his insights on his top three baits and strategies, which include speed cranking, using chatterbaits, and jigging with spoons. Matt advocates for using reaction baits and covering water quickly, particularly in one-day events. Arey discusses the proper cadence for these techniques and offers helpful tips and tricks to increase your catch rate. He also shares a unique modification for jigging spoons, involving a feathered treble hook, to increase hookup ratios and potentially catch multiple fish.
If you're interested in a fresh approach to cold-water fishing, Matt Arey highlights several lesser-known tactics to enhance your success.
